I saw their ad for a women's self-defense class and decided to give it a try. I've always wanted to try Krav so this was the perfect opportunity. It was a two-day class for 2.5 hrs each day. August and John were very welcoming to all the students and, after a short intro, we got to work. There were women of all ages and fitness levels, and all were really getting into it and learning. August introduced the right amount of stress to the training as we progressed and introduced real-world scenarios, which was extremely helpful. When I told a friend of mine (as I was showing off my new bruises :)) that it was 2.5 hours per class, she questioned "Why so long? They should do like 1-hour instruction & practicum, no?" My response was that I felt part of the training was to put you in stress mode and make you fight when tired. Again, real world. We took short water breaks, but everyone was excited to get back on the mat! I travel alone a lot for work and have had been in some situations I couldn't avoid, so I know the skills I learned (and will continue to practice) will be something I can draw on should I need to. Should I decide to become a practitioner, I'm sure I'll be coming here. Looking forward to their street training class, whenever the next one comes up. Thanks August! read more

During the course of my life, I belonged to a variety of clubs and organizations. I want to say that August, Melanie and the teaching team at Krav Maga Experts have been phenomenal. I've experienced nothing short of amazing. The seniors members (folks who have been there for quite some time) are eager to share their knowledge and tips during training. Everyone helps everyone. The self defense and fitness training standard is high; that's what you want in the event you need to defend yourself. Fitness is important and every training session / night has a fitness component - not always fun, but necessary! Everyone at every skill level wants to learn, train and have fun while striving for better fitness and self defense skills. I've taken Krav Maga training at other facility. This is by far the best. Thanks August, Melanie and your team read more

This is a great self defense class. August and Melanie and very welcoming. August does the Krav Maga and Melanie does the Zumba. They also have Hot Hula I believe. Not only is this very easy to follow, you will get a workout in that will have you sweating and feeling sore for a few days also. And remember, this is the only self defense class that is also endorsed by Archer. read more

I'm absolutely loving this school, system, and teacher. I've trained in Martial Arts for a while and have been lucky to be educated by amazing instructors. August is no exception, with his lifelong practice. He precisely answers every question from every student (I ask a lot). The classes are simultaneously intense and a lot of fun. I've thoroughly enjoyed everyone at this school that I've trained with. Plus, I've already seen and felt changes (in just one month) since beginning here. Again, I can't recommend KME enough. read more

I recently started training here and love it! Would give it 10 stars if I could! The training is very detailed and great for all levels.

I hope everyone has a chance to try it whether for fitness or learning effective self defense. Thanks!! read more

Great place to learn and grow. Love being here with a wonderful group of people to train with and help each other out.

This gym is the real deal. I've been here three years and still love it. Every woman should learn Krav Maga. Don't be the woman on the news who gets assaulted and doesn't know how to fight back. Krav Maga will give you the strength, knowledge, and confidence to avoid being the next victim statistic. You'll get a full body workout and have fun in the process! read more

I started coming here about a year ago and absolutely love it. My self confidence, muscle strength and overall happiness has been raised to new levels. I now know how to defend myself in any situation and I'm never scared to get into my car late at night! read more

Krav Maga Experts Boise runs excellent programs, I can't say enough good things. Two of my children attend the teen class, and at first they were both intimidated to start such an intense sport. Their instructor, August made them feel comfortable immediately. He is fun, supportive, kind, and always keeps activites fresh and fun. This is not only a self defensive, it is also full body conditioning. Truly fun fitness. My kids come home from every class sweaty, happy, and excited to tell me what they learned. It's proven to be so good for their physical, mental, and emotional health. We love this place! read more

I've personally worked and trained with Mr. Ritter on several occasions and in various formats. You will not find a better individual suited to the role of instructor nor one whom embodies and embraces the warrior's ethos more than this individual. Regardless of your experience in martial arts, or your physical capabilities, this is a great place to start. read more
