Each class, I learn a new block, kick, or punch. Afraid it's too much to learn? Well, Ken has a 'Kickboxing for DUmmies' class on the weekends that go slowly through each move and has a lot more hands on demonstrations to make sure each person in the room is doing the moves correctly. For those interested in self defense, they offer that too on Tuesday Nights. Boot camps run on the weekends. Very welcoming atmosphere! Check them out, you won't be sorry you did.

They said I could use it towards a future class. I have spent the past 2 years rehabbing my arm and finally have it to a place where I could take the course, yet I've tried reaching out to them multiple times to get something set up or even use my credit for a short defense lesson, and have received zero response! It's clear they are only interested in your money, not the attendees, and will take it anyway they can get it.

I have been a member at Krav Maga Great Lakes for just about 5 years. I have never stuck with a…read moreprogram for so long! I am 48 yrs old female with 3 kids. First, for me, is that training is FUN. KMGL is deadly serious about teaching the skills necessary to defend yourself and others, no doubt. But the sense of community, support and acceptance is unbelievable. I have attended every class they offer and I have NEVER felt intimidated by any of the members or staff. They push me and they correct me, but it is in the spirit of helping me get to the very best I can be. I am 48 years old and in the best condition of my life. But at it's heart, Krav Maga is all about defending yourself and getting home safe. There is no fluff and no coddling. If you want 'it', every member and coach will bend over backwards to help you get 'it'. Real life example: just last night a new member participated in a special fitness challenge. This lady is a school teacher with two kids. Two weeks ago it took her 30 minutes to complete 20 burpees. Last night she did 146 in one hour! She never quit and never lost her positive attitude. And every person in the gym was beaming with pride right along with her. And you know what she said at the end? "I am so proud of myself, I have goosebumps! I never thought I could do that. And it was fun!" That is what Krav Maga Great Lakes is all about.

They are upfront with what they expect from you and are a constant helping hand in taking you to places you never thought you could reach in your training. As someone who works out regularly I am still able to get a great workout every class. At no point have the classes got "easier" and I leave just as exausted as the first class I took. It is a training where you can push yourself every class and expect results, both mentally and physically. Working an office job, karate provides me the perfect stress relief from a corporate position. I can clear my head and focus on myself for an hour or two.

I've used reviews literally hundreds of times in my purchasing decisions, yet I've come to the…read morerealization that I never write them. In an effort to pay it forward, I decided to start by reviewing a place I feel people need to know about. The dojo in Clawson MI is a place you must check out. The instructors there (Sensei Rob and Sensei Laura) are top notch and have all the traits you could possible seek (highly skilled, passionate, knowledgeable, patient, and just really good people). I've known them for the better part of the last 15 years and can honestly say few people have made more of a positive impact on my life than they have. Aside from the great instruction, the fellow students there are truly a joy to train with. It's humbling when you see them show as great of an interest in your development as they do with there own. You find yourself growing/developing within the group and new friendships are one of the many results. I feel very fortunate that I have gained some great friends over the years through training. You should expect the same. In addition to getting some good exercise and learning/developing self defense techniques, I personally find this place a great mental refuge and a way to get away for 90 minutes from the daily grind. When you train you don't think of that project at work, class you might have a test in, lawn in need of being mowed or your cable/phone bill....you just think about the training. You may, like me, find this to become almost essential to a healthy life. So you've read this far, isn't it about time you just go up there and try a class out for yourself? One of the first things Sensei Rob ever said to me was that the hardest part of training is walking through the door. Once you are there it is easy. While I wasn't sure about that comment at the time, I found it to be very true (in other things as well). Some of you may have driven by the dojo already....contemplated coming in. My hope is that this review will give you the motivation/desire to take that toughest step and walk through the door to give this place a try. I am sure you will thank me later!
