    I've been training Krav Maga for a few years and was looking for a KMW gym as soon as I moved from…read moreOR to WA. I was welcomed by all the coaches and students to jump right into training. While the gym is small, it's clean and has all the equipment needed for training (kick shields, tomb stones, training knives and guns). The gym also has a kickboxing program led by a group of amazing instructors so you can get a good sweat session. Most importantly, the KMW training is consistent with what I've seen in other KMW gyms, with knowledgeable instructors, clear training plans (with standard belt testing), and a safe community of students, instructors and owners. During these unprecedented times, I encourage you to check this location out and see what you can do to protect yourself and loved ones.

    This training center has been open for around two years and is affiliated with the popular Krav…read moreMaga Center in Renton. The Bellevue training center is open for in-person classes and I attended a free trial class there last night. You can schedule the trial class via text message once you have requested the class online. That was convenient. Coach Christian also took the time to call me and talk me through what to expect, what to wear, what to bring, etc. The training center was sparkling clean and everyone was very welcoming. It was a great workout and in every class you learn or repeat two or three highly applicable self-defense techniques first by yourself and then with a partner. Coach Jesse who leads the Wednesday Level 1 class was very responsive, provided guidance and helped correct wrong techniques. I will be back next week and I hope you come give it a try as well! Great workout for all ages, all shapes and forms with or without martial arts background!

    What a great workout and skills development. Regarding the previous review, I too had to cancel,…read moredue to extenuating circumstances, and they sent me a simple link to fill out for cancellation, which they are happy to do if you communicate up front you have a move coming up, etc.

    I hate having to write this review and have put it off for a couple years, because my experience…read morewas a mix of being really happy with the training and the friendly community but extremely disappointed with them for refusing to stop billing me after I left. It was a month to month membership and they billed me for 4 months I wasn't a member, even though I kept emailing them asking them to stop. At first they said they'd handle it, then they stopped answering my emails altogether. Who knows how much more money they would have taken if I hadn't called my bank. Oh, also I was sick with cancer when they did all this to me. That's why I had to stop training. So that's what I came here to say: 1) DO NOT give them your checking account, give them your Credit Card. This will protect you if they do the same to you. 2) If they keep billing you for multiple months after you cancel, like they did to me, you will have to call your bank to stop the charges and get your bank to fight with them to get your money back. Mine was Bank of America, thank goodness they make it so easy to dispute fraudulent charges. And thank goodness for my friends who own a the Krav Maga studio in another city, for giving me the advice on how to handle a gym that won't stop billing me. I honestly wonder how many people don't know to do that, and how many people's money they "accidentally" keep taking even after the membership was cancelled.

    I really enjoyed Joanne's 6-week self defense class for women and highly recommend it! I…read moreappreciated that it was more than just the physical moves, but also how to verbally set boundaries (like saying no without apologizing!), and red flags to look for. Some of the info was a refresher, some brand new. I also appreciated that alternative moves were suggested, like for folks with bad knees, or the guidance for a woman using a cane. Everyone can benefit from this class! To answer the questions most people asked me: The class is kept to a small size, about 12 people. It's only for women, trans, and non-binary; no men. Folks in the class ranged from teen to 60s--I loved seeing mothers and daughters taking the class together. About half of the physical practice involved a punching bag dummy, and the other half involved hands-on practice with classmates, which was necessary, helpful, but also a bit awkward at times. But, I got over it, and got a lot out of it.

    I just finished the 6-week self-defense class with Joanne Factor, and it was the best $200 I spent…read morethis year. No, wait, it's the best $200 I've spent in my entire life. You think I'm kidding? Think I'm being facetious? Nope. And nope. I'm being stone cold serious. This class taught me SO many mental, verbal, and physical skills to keep myself safe. I feel like a stronger, more confident, more savvy, and way more aware person after taking this class. All of that is worth way more than $200. IT'S PRICELESS. I loved practicing all the techniques in our class of six awesome women. I learned so much from Joanne; she's patient, understanding, strong as a tank, and funny too. If you're thinking about learning self defense, go to the Strategic Living site and read about the 6-week class. It's remarkable what you can learn in six weeks. This class is much better than just taking a 1-day class (though that's still worth doing that if that's all you can do). But if you can make more time in your life, please do. You can more readily absorb the self-defense principals and techniques in a 6-week class. I'm going to recommend this class to every girl and woman I know. If you're reading this review and live in or near Seattle, I hope you'll take it. You won't regret it!

    It is true that Fauzia is a talented woman with much Insight, but BEWARE of the refund policy in…read moreher contract which states: "Refunds: If you find that the Program is not the right fit for you after training for 45 days, then we will refund your tuition." This is NOT TRUE, they will not refund any portion of your tuition if once you get into the program you find that the services offered are not appropriate or safe for your particular situation. Fauzia is NOT certified to perform EMDR which can be detrimental for people who have certain trauma experiences, especially if they deal with issues such as PTSD as I do. I have tried to work out a resolution with the company for over 2 months and have lost the money invested despite the wording of their refund policy. The only upside is now I know I made the right decision not to trust Fauzia with my mental emotional health and safety.

I learnt so many ways to protect myself depending on the situation, especially since I work in downtown and travel for work every now and then. This class gives me a bit more confidence that I can take care of myself if I found myself in a situation and the confidence in my day-to-day when dealing with people especially in the male dominant work environment I'm in. I highly recommend taking her class!
