From the reviews

Crucible Krav Maga My oldest daughter took a women's self defense seminar that was given by Crucible Krav Maga. She enjoyed it and learned a great deal. She was so excited and motivated that she convinced me to take a closer look.

★★★★★ — Lety, Apr 2018

I can't say enough about how great Mike and the Cricible gang are to work with! I've been taking my teenage daughter for several months and could not be more pleased. In addition to learning great defensive techniques, the improvement in her (and my) self confidence has been priceless!

★★★★★ — Mike, Nov 2017

Great instructors and environment! My kids and wife love taking the classes. Everything is broken down so you aren't going through the motions, but actually learning technique. Like all Krav, there are elements of psychology, and stress drills involved.

★★★★★ — James, Jun 2019

The place is filled with excellent leadership and excellent attitudes. The instuctoins are personally invested in each student's survival in real world violent confrontations. We regularly pressure-test the techniques with sparring. They work.

★★★★★ — Daniel-Katy, Oct 2018

Your first kickboxing class at Crucible Krav Maga

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
