Best martial arts instructor you can have. Will take you to your maximum regardless of your fitness level. Drills are also adjusted based on the level of your experience with a gradual incline in complexity. Highly recommend!

I've tried various martial arts over the years but found Krav Maga for self-defense to be the most practical. I believe that EVERY woman should learn self-defense techniques and Institute of Krav Maga is the best place to do so. ) I can't recommend the place highly enough! 5 out of 5 stars.
