From the reviews
This place is wonderful! Gustavo is a great teacher, focussed on his students and their personal growth. Krav Maga impacts every aspects of your life and you can't find a better coach to guide you! The workout is intense and challenging, in a good way. You will gain both muscles and confidence.
I have been coming to Dogo Krav Maga for two years now and I enjoy the challenge Gustavo brings to us with every class. As I look back I can see the progression I've made with Gustavos training. I'm more flexible (when I started I was stiff as a board). Also, my coordination, strength and footwork have improved.
I have been going to Dogo Krav Maga for about two years. It has changed my life, more than words can express. I am able to get the best workout, mentally, and physically, for an hour of Krav Maga or Kickboxing. This all comes from the amazing, wonderful, and terrific instructor, Mr. Desperatti.
This place is fantastic! I've been training with Gustavo for 2 years now, and I've enjoyed every class. You can tell that he is very passionate about what he does, and he is an excellent instructor. He's very outgoing and funny, so it makes communication easier, and you'll have more fun in class.
Your first kickboxing class at Dogo Defense Academy
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.
