My teen daughters 13/16 and I, started here a year ago and have put in a year of hard work. Both girls are stronger, more confident, and basically bad a$$ enough that I feel confident that they can handle themselves in most any situation. More importantly my daughters and I have formed a bond forged in blood, sweat, and tears. As we enter our second year my daughters still look forward to training with me several days a week, I don't see a lot of dads spending that kind of time with their teenage daughters. Hundreds of hours over the last year not spent on a phone or a couch! The lessons are as much about mentally being ready for anything as physically being ready. The Instructor and assistant instructors are all quality people, people you can trust. We have also met some great new friends that we beat up, uhh I mean work out with every week. To be sure it's hard, Krav Maga isn't for the lazy of body or mind, But people of almost any fitness level or age can start and succeed here. In a world full of sheep and wolves training at KMHR will prepare you and or your kids to be the sheepdog!

I would most assuredly recommend for anyone who is looking to learn more about self-defense, train,…read moreor even work out. The instructors are great instructors, and very knowledgeable. They explain every step, and do many drills to solidify that which was taught. The atmosphere, there, is very comfortable, and (for lack of a better word) determined. Everyone that attends has a similar mindset, in that people want to learn and push each other at becoming better. When having trouble, other people offer words of advice and encouragment. I have enjoyed my time training here and I encourage others to do so, as well.

I can confidently say Mike is one of the best instructors I've had the pleasure of training with. He is patient and very thorough in explaining concepts of why techniques work and the details on executing techniques accurately. He is super chill and maintains a welcoming vibe in his gym. I also enjoyed training with his students. They are all very friendly and open to training at whichever level you wish to train. The gym itself is clean and well maintained and conveniently located. I would highly recommend this place to any military personnel stationed in the area!

Our older son does grappling and seeing him gain confidence in a new sport is amazing! We're there almost every night during the week. You won't find better coaches anywhere else - they have helped get my son to a point where he feels comfortable and confident competing! The coaches push you to be the best version of yourself - kids and adults! My numbers and results speak for themselves - if you're on the fence, it'll be the best thing you ever do for yourself.

First, before we moved to the area, the staff was super kind and helpful. The owner was willing to do a virtual tour to help us make feel comfortable with the school. Since attending, our daughter learned sign language, practiced yoga, learned Spanish, and made a ton of friends/attended multiple birthday parties. She loved her teachers, the school is very secure, and is in a wonderful location nestled near some woods, but still in a convenient Yorktown location. My daughter even came home one day with tomatoes from their garden! We got tadpole updates daily with photos (LOVE that as a working mom) and the school communicated super well during COVID spikes. I have extremely high standards for the people who care for my children and Goddard exceeded all of them!

Out of all of her teachers, there's maybe 2 that were good. The rest lacked the training and developmental understanding of young children. I expected more from The Goddard school. My daughter was well behaved but has ADHD. At the time she was too young to be diagnosed. My daughter had been screened for autism and she did not have it. One of her teachers who was not trained in child development nor mental health took it upon herself to hand write me a rude note and leave it in her bag telling me she thought she had autism. It was unprofessional, and frankly offensive. The staff claimed they addressed it, but the teacher never apologized. My daughter was treated like an outcast by some of teachers (not all.) She had 2 really great teachers. I wish she could've just stayed with them instead of moving forward. A lot of the teachers lacked compassion and seem overwhelmed. I can very honestly say that instead of trying to support my child they deemed her as not good enough. She wasn't ill behaved. She didn't hit or kick other children. She simply struggled with not sitting still and focusing. They made me feel like my daughter was defective. Goddard didn't help my daughter the way I expected. It was a disappointing and pricey experience. Now that she's in public school her teachers love her and she's at the top of her class. That's not because of Goddard. That's because she's in a better environment. One more thing, you will be charged during the holidays when they are closed. Get ready to pay even more for additional childcare during that time.
