From the reviews

I started attending Spartan Krav Maga several months ago and can say that it was one of the best decisions that I have made. This self-defense system is easy to learn regardless of age, experience, or level of physical fitness.

★★★★★ — Jason, Nov 2015

Wonderful instructors! Justin, the owner, takes time to get to know his students, and is a very friendly person. Actually, all the instructors are friendly, but also offer hardcore warm up exercises, followed by lots of drills for learning the self-defense moves.

★★★★★ — Shyamali, Jan 2019

I’m new to Krav Maga but not Martial Arts. Spartan Krav Maga is a very good investment of your time and money. In each class I can get a workout that pushes me to my maximum and maybe an inch more and come away with very functional self defense tactics.

★★★★★ — Gary, Apr 2018

I have trained here for two years and I cannot rate SKM highly enough! Every single instructor is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and supportive. The environment is welcoming and friendly and the classes are challenging.

New to muay thai? Start at Spartan Krav Maga

Spartan Krav Maga comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first muay thai class at Spartan Krav Maga

Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals 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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, 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.
