This is a really cool and professional place to train. You get physically fit quickly. Pete the Head Instructor takes it seriously that he's training you for
Been coming since
Just recently changed from 4 to 5 stars because as you improve and move up in level, class sizes shrink dramatically. Facility size not an issue at that point.
What a great place to train. All the instructors are really good and very helpful. I have developed a lot of skills over the year that I hope I never have to use. Also, I have made a lot of new friends. Krav Maga is challenging, but I feel stronger after every class. Thanks for giving me my confidence back!
My son and I have been members since 2015 and I cannot offer a positive enough review. For new and prospective students, please remember that this school is about defending yourself against a violent attack. Its many other benefits are secondary to that reality. If you think you are too old, too weak, too out of shape or too gentle to defend yourself, I empathize (I turn 60 this year). However, that should encourage, not discourage, you to join because people like us are the most likely victims. If you experience culture shock during your first classes, don’t fret – that’s not only normal but a positive aspect of the training. More than once I’ve driven home thinking, “Geez, I really suck at this.” Please ignore those thoughts and stick with it – it’s all good. As a final note, my son and I each experienced unique challenges that some outside of the Krav Maga family considered showstoppers. My thanks and gratitude to the entire staff for their unfailing positive support and encouragement.
I have been going here for the last 3 months doing at most 3 classes a week. I have never had any martial art training before and this was my first. What stands out to me here are the instructors and they are great. I have had classes with Marc, Andy, Cassidy, Jason and
Really can't say enough good things about the instructors and classes at Krav Maga of Northern Virginia! I joined to get an amazing workout and learn a new skill but, in the process, have become the strongest (physically/mentally) and most confident that I have ever been in my life. I look forward to going to get my butt kicked every time and am never disappointed! I see this being the gym that I am FINALLY able to stick with!!!!
After a long miserable week at my place of employment, the thing I looked forward to most was going to Krav Maga Class! I participated in both the Level 1 and Level 2 classes. I am so lucky to have some of the best instructors on the East Coast! Chasity and Marc have a unique gift: the ability to teach with style, grace, humor and heart. They inspire me with their well honed, hard earned talent for the marital arts. We live in a fallen world, but heroes are among us. You find them slowly, one at a time, and when you least expect it. Thank you Chasity and Marc for molding me into a better fighter, defender and Krav Maga believer! God Bless!
Took a class this weekend with my 16 yr old daughter. Learned how to recognize when someone's words don't match their intentions. AND how to make them get back if they don't listen when I tell them to "GET BACK!" These guys are great!
I attended a Sexual Assault Prevention Seminar this weekend and I LOVED it! These guys are pretty awesome!
My first class as a member was today. Unfortunately I left without telling Mark, "thank you". Awesome class!! Thanks so much KM NOVA for giving me a safe place to learn and practice skills. I've felt welcomed in each of the two classes I've attended. The students and instructors are great. Really like the atmosphere. The hour flies by, though...
I have been with Krav Maga NOVA first as a student and now as an instructor for over 12 years. The passion for keeping citizens safe is unmatched. Every instructor teaches with a understanding that they are saving lives. The training is realistic and appropriate for the threat good people face everyday.
I have been training here now for almost three month. And I am very impressed by the professionalism of the organization and the curriculum. All and more that I have hoped for when I signed up.
Great instructors with knowledge & experience. Highly recommend KravMaga Northern Virginia for fitness & hand to hand combat.
Great self defense program. Check out the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu program too.
I have been going here for the last 3 months doing at most 3 classes a week. I have never had any martial art training before and this was my first. What stands out to me here are the instructors and they are great. I have had classes with Marc, Andy, Cassidy, Jason and few others (I cant remember their names) but they all have been great. Every instructor has his slight variations to certain techniques which is what makes it great. The classes also give you a good workout. The hard thing for me is balancing my work and class schedule. I am happy that i joined this school and my wife is too :-)
Amazing instructors amazing curriculum. These guys have been nothing but good to me and have helped me before a better defender and fighter. Couldn't be more happy. Plus, the prices are incredibly better than most self defense schools in the DMV area!
This place is awesome. The price is great compared to other martial art or self defense institutions. I've been coming here for about 7 months now, and I love every second of it. The classes are not intimidating at all and the overall environment is just fantastic.
I'll be honest - before I joined Krav Maga, I didn't have any other background in martial arts; because of that, i was little hesitant in trying this place out at first. However, after my first trial class, I absolutely fell in love with this place.
Before joining this institution, I checked out other martial arts schools. And I gotta say, at this place, doing Krav Maga, you'll have a lot more fun than doing any other martial art out there. They offer unlimited classes out here. Whether its bag class, jijitsu, or Krav Maga classes, you'll have fun regardless.
Been attending here for over a year and I love it. Great group of instructors. It's a very good workout as well as a real life self defense system. I had zero experience when I started, and now I feel much more confident in my abilities to defend myself (and I'm a small, thin woman). Doing Krav has changed my life, made me much happier, and much more confident overall. Krav Maga NoVA is the main reason.
Great instructors! The best workout money can buy!!
