The gym is always clean and has a variety of different classes on different days at different times to suit a wide array of schedules and interests. I've been going for a while and have seen a marked improvement in my skills across the board. If you are interested in martial arts, self-defense, or general fitness at any level, I recommend checking out Krav Maga Cleveland!

I had FUN at a self-defense beginner class which I took back on 27 March 2021. Funny enough, today is 27 March 2022 so it is now a whole year later. Time really flies. SELF-DEFENSE CLASS -- The class mixes principles of boxing, Muay Thai, and wrestling. Once the 2 instructors explained the defense moves that we would all be working on, each person paired up with a partner to practice what we just learned. I enjoyed practicing all the moves. The instructors provided props such as a padded hitting block. At certain points, the main instructor (man) was speaking too fast but he was funny. I recommend Krav Maga if you live in the area. It is located in Warrensville Heights on the east side of Cleveland, which is too far from where I live. They have self-defense classes for male and females and they also offer yoga and strength/conditioning classes. **** - 31/150 total reviews in 2022 - 509 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 March 2022

Mark offered to let us try out some classes at his school in Willoughby and, from the very first time I went, I felt completely welcome and at home. The other students were happy to practice with me and to provide little bits of advice here and there so that I could learn without it seeming overwhelming. Saturday morning the school runs a women's self defense course, which is free and immensely practical. The beauty of jiu jitsu is that you don't have to be strong - you just have to be smart. This martial art (used by the Samurai and subsequently developed in Brazil by the Gracie brothers - very interesting history) uses leverage and physics so that 100lbs girl in our class was able to beat a 200lbs guy. What I really appreciate about Mark and Ron's school is how welcoming they are. They really care about making a difference in Cleveland through jiu jitsu. They have the free women's self defense course, a fantastic kids program, and they are building a brand new facility so that their regular students will have more space to practice, locker rooms, an area where their kids can play while they take classes, and so much more. If you are interested in trying a martial art, I definitely recommend trying jiu jitsu and, moreover, trying Mark and Ron's school because you can come here knowing that you will be able to learn and practice in a welcoming environment in which everyone is focused on learning *safely* rather than trying to prove that they know more than you. Very glad that I had the opportunity to train here for a few months before I go back to Buffalo and, because of this school, I will definitely be looking for a place to train in Buffalo.

The instructors did not seem equipped to teach children this young. Instead of using age-appropriate teaching methods, they often appeared impatient and failed to keep young students engaged. My child left classes feeling discouraged rather than motivated. I also felt that my family was treated differently than others, and the overall experience left us feeling unwelcome. Because of how we were treated, I chose to withdraw my child from the program. I would not recommend this school to parents of young children. If you're looking for a martial arts program for a 5-year-old, I suggest finding a school with instructors who have more experience, patience, and a welcoming approach for all families.

We are now 3 years into lessons and I recommend the program highly. Its a great way to stay on a consistent schedule in the summer and to get out of the house in the winter. From a practical view: there's lots of class times across the week, a weekly e-newsletter you have regular access to updates, there are regular belt promotions that give students small goals. Shihan also has students work on weekly goals and has them work on positive mantras while they are younger. Like "I will always try my best." Personally, while we started the program when my son turned 4, he's now 7 and still enjoys Karate. He practices katas which are series of moves in a row (like 10-12) they take weeks to practice and offer my son a great way to practice his left/right and focusing on his foot positions or his stances. Due to his early access to these classes he easily takes to new spaces, over the summer he participated in wrestling summer camps. These were completely new for him but because he was already in the practice of working with students, teachers and sensais he took to the camps easily. He didn't hesitate and take a ton of time being shy in the space but instead was confident and even understood physical boundaries with other students. He knew how to practice wrestle with little instruction. He even volunteered to go in front of the group to practice moves.

(You WILL love it.) Lessons are one on one so you get personalized attention. Coach Stone will work on your strengths and weaknesses. He is even patient with me, a girl who is a bit uncoordinated and has never been sporty. It's the sport for people who don't like sports AND the people who do. It is an amazing workout. Lots of cardio and lunges and you won't even notice you are working out. It relieves stress. Nothing like stabbing people after a long day at work. Meet cool people. Nothing like hanging out with a group of people that are at once smart and silly. No one takes themselves too seriously so this is the kind of place you can come fence and not have to feel like you have to be perfect. And if you get into a side conversation about whether a ninja or a jedi would win in a sword fight, well that's just a side benefit. It's FUN! But don't take my word for it. You have to come and try it yourself. Come see why "it's just that kind of fencing club."

As a suburbanite, I was a little wary about the location, and as a complete novice to martial arts, I was a little concerned about the degree to which I'd embarrass myself. After about a month of attendance, I feel comfortable advising anyone interested in attending that it's safe to disregard both of those concerns. Regarding safety - I attend classes on the weekends and at night. I've never felt unsafe. The parking lot is fenced, and the building is well secured. It's as safe as a facility loaded with swords can be. Regarding the novice issue - Coach Stone and his staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. There are students from a broad range of ranges - from kids to senior citizens - from a broad range of cultural backgrounds. Everyone seems tremendously welcoming. The coaching is incredibly patient. I know I'm endlessly making novice mistakes - and certainly repeating the same ones. In spite of this, the coaches let me make my mistakes, and then work to educate me so that I try to make incremental improvements. Beyond that - this is a ton of fun. It's a fantastic workout, and it teaches all kinds of coordination and situational awareness.
