I wanted to get my grand-daughter a package/classes for Christmas. I called and spoke with John. He said he would get with the owner. The Owner and John called me the next day, I told them my budget and how I wanted a gift certificate. I would print pictures cor my 5 year old grand-daughter to unwrap so she knew what she was getting. the pictures would help her to understand the gift certificate. They custom made my gift certificate, stayed in my budget and included a uniform. They went well beyond, they exceeded my expectations. I can not wait for my granddaughter to start her lessons. This places puts the kids needs first, not money! thank you so much! read more

Krav Maga Martial Arts - Martial Arts Near Me - Lutz, Florida

See all

The sign is misleading, is it martial arts? Krav Maga enthusiasts would argue about that! If you are searching for a place to exercise, a place for setting and reaching goals, a place to give you or your family discipline for focus, success, health and fitness, in between sport cross training or to simply learn self defense through Krav Maga Look no further This is your place We have been in/out of Krav Maga since their location off Collier parkway, we have seen a local small business grow and thrive. We have been to trainings with our 6/8 year old (now 11/13), we have been to their great camps (summer, fall, winter, parents night out..). KMMA consistently meets our families needs and is inspiring my boys, which is 100% amazing. Family owned, community forward. Research Krav Maga, learn how it is different than other martial arts, since it's not really martial arts, it's self defense- it's idea is to equip YOU with tools to defend/fight/escape from an attacker... if ever, hopefully never, needed! read more

Krav Maga Martial Arts - Simple Go - Martial Arts Near Me - Lutz, Florida

I was involved in Martial Arts when I was young, but I have not been in a dojo in over 30 years. I wanted to lose some weight and get back in shape (I am 54, out of shape, etc), and prefer to do so in a useful manner. I had heard good things about Krav Maga, and wanted to try some classes... so searched my local area, and found KMMA nearby. Signed up.. and have gone to two classes as of this date. They pace it well, and keep things simple to start. You get an really good aerobic workout, some strength training, and some good balance and basic offense / defense training to start with. The Aerobic part of it is the most difficult for me right now... but it is getting better, and the instructors allow me to take a break as needed. I also signed up my girlfriend who has never done anything like this before, and she was worried she wouldn't be able to do it. She loves it... and want's to continue with it, which makes me very happy! The instructors are friendly, and keep you moving, and having fun, while giving a really good workout. Highly recommended! read more

We signed up for their black belt program. At the time my kids were 8 and 9. We signed up as a family and we paid $240 a month. Then belt tests it was about $300 every quarter. This adds up and we were ok with that being told we would earn black belt in two years. Over the time i was there I have seen camps that new white belts would enter for a week or weekend. Pay about $500 and come back yellow belt. A few Senseis there had expressed their disapproval of this as well. They would have these camp$ to boost their bottom line and just give belts away. They didn't really seem to care much about the integrity of their own words. I had seen young impressionable people become black belts and then become "employed" by the Shihan and his rude wife. I say "employed" because they worked there but they were not being paid. These master manipulators we're getting young kids and people who have been bullied their whole lives into servitude. It was really starting to get to me. My kids were so close to black belt. They were oblivious to the politics of this place and so I allowed them to continue. While paying them was easy, they always wanted to take money. They make you buy their shirts and wear their clothing to wok out. So yet again they only want your money. Another issue I noticed while my debit card was in file with them, my account was repeatedly hacked. My bank account has not had one fraud issue since I took my card from their system. Fast forward my kids are brown belt two. Mind you Krav Maga has only 6 belts!!! 6!!! So tell me why Kmma has 12!?!?!? Your money!!! Hello! That's their bread and butter. It's the same moves just different combos to make black. Nothing new besides a weapons course which could be a whole belt. So one thing I saw was I referred a neighborhood kid to go. He ended up getting bullied by the shiva a son a black belt and thrown dodge balls at him. These people are big business owners in Tampa. They allowed this kid to get hanged up on his first time there. Mocking his body builder dad saying that his dad could beat him up. Disgusting. You can find their review hidden on here. Sad so when a new kid that came into the dojo who was more aggressive than the others. I see him purposefully kicking my son who wasn't wearing his cup in the groin. Punching my daughter while she's being choked during an exercise. Completely unruly in class. I see they change the black belt rule. After Bonds son got his black belt at 9 or 10? The shihans son same age? I can go down the list all got theirs before 13... now all of a sudden a big family graduates they only have my family and like two other kids left they raised the back belt age to 13!!! Meaning two more years for my kids to train at $240 a month plus whatever shirts gis camps etc??? Hell NO this place has had bad reviews in the past and I chose to ignore When I asked them to call me I said I had concerns. I had a senpai call me. I had a sensei call me. Once I said what my issue was they agreed with me. So they said they had to have Barbra or Sheihan call me....No one did. Barbara was a coward and she couldn't even look me in the face at Walmart. They refused to call me so I could discuss this issue. I went in to see her and she wouldn't come out of the back or she wasn't there. No one else was able to help? They should have honored their oral contract with us but instead I had to call my bank and cancel my debit card because she wouldn't even call me back to cancel our membership. I waited a long time to write this. About two years. I had hoped they would have reached out since we had paid on time and showed up, worked hard. I thought maybe I'll get over it and they can belt test at 13 and get black belts... but I've ran into several of the people who "worked" for them. I've heard they haven't been paid. That we were right to leave. Save yourself the money and go elsewhere. It felt like a cult. I'm glad we got out. read more

I love this place! I went for a free women's self-defense class, then kept going for the 2 week free trial they offered me and I'm still going a month and a half later. The instructors all make a point to learn your name and give high fives when they see you. I have back problems and didn't think I could do this, but I've found that I can do more and more as I keep going! I've already learned how to get out of side headlocks and chokes from all sides, plus I know a few combinations to hit them back with. The great workout is a wonderful benefit, as well. I love that there are no floor routines to memorize because the focus is on self-defense. More than anything, I love feeling that I can defend myself! I feel empowered and strong and that feeling carries over into my every day life!! read more

We signed up my young son last summer. We were warmly welcomed, walked through a simple onboarding process and began. My son has loved it ever since . He's getting a great workout, learning great self defense skills while having fun during each class. They have a flexible schedule and love to teach. My son has made steady progress and now has achieved purple belt status . We all like meeting and exceeding goals and he has stayed right on track throughout. If you want to have fun while learning to kick some a$$. Go for it , they will do their part. read more

We all love it and I would recommend this school to anyone. read more

The owner and Master Instructor Shihan Steve is an expert on teaching and mentoring kids through Krav Maga. He is a true professional who is committed to serving his students the very best of martial art. Shihan has already produced some of the best Krav Maga black belts around! All of his black belts are positive role models and mentors for the children they serve. read more

I signed myself and my 10 year old son up for private lessons about 6 months ago at KMMA to learn Krav Maga. It has truly been an awesome experience. My son's self confidence has grown immensely from the training we have received. It has also has instilled a sense of discipline and improved his physical skills considerably. We have been fortunate to train with Shiihan Steve and multiple members of his leadership team to learn many valuable skills. There are several other Martial Arts training facilities that are closer to to my home than KMMA, but the extra drive is well worth it. Shiahan and his staff has exceeded my expectations with the quality of training they provide and are really committed to excellence. Great people!! I highly recommend KMMA to everyone. read more

This place is pretty small. I took a free class to try it out and I must say I was semi-impressed. I decided I'd like to join for a bit to see what it was all about. Well immediately following the first class the owner started his sales pitch. First he tried to sign me up for a year at 150$ per month, and I had to sign a contract or I could pay all of it up front and save a measly 15%. I ended up signing for 6 months at 125$. Which I thought was not too bad. The instructors are young guys, but they seem to know their stuff and are pretty friendly and approachable (ask me how i know), just one of the guys favorites lines. The owner is very nice as well. He is usually only there if there are some prospective clients who show interest into possibly joining. The work out is great and keeps getting better but the price keeps getting worse. After you move into the higher ranks the price follows you up. It goes to 150$+ and they try to sucker you into a 3yr lock in. Which is a terrible idea. The price goes up but they classes stay relatively the same. It's the same instructors, same no-sparring, no weights, no nothing extra. They say that it's the black belt training program but I don't see how they get off trying to lock you into long term contracts and at a larger monthly payment, seems typical of a business not an actual dojo. The average price is 85-125$ everywhere else in the country and almost all other gyms offer other programs unlimited such as, cross fit, weight room, free gym time with out instruction etc. I talked to some other students I spar with as well and seems everyone gets a different price or contract term. Funny thing is also that if you don't accept the long term contract and the price hike then they wont allow you to train and you get stuck at yellow or orange belt and can only take the Level One Course for ever (yes it sounds like a sham). Conclusion don't join if your not willing to get stuck into oddball bs contract. If money is no object and you can tolerate these tactics enjoy the work out because it kicks your butt and you will learn some moves that may save your life some day. Unfortunately I had to quit because it was just too much money and a monetary commitment not a commitment you get to decide on. read more

If you want to learn to defend yourself, and feel confident about it on the street then this Krav Maga Dojo is for you!! Come and test it for yourself, you'll be pleased, I am..... read more

This place is fantastic if you are looking for a higher level of education. The physical and intellectual skills they teach here can be applied to all aspects of life. And while Krav Maga is their primary form of martial arts, the instructors have training in various other forms, including weapons, all of which they apply to enhance their Krav Maga curriculum. Everything they teach is offered on a flexible 6 day schedule which allows for people to train daily, or a few days a week. Classes are also offered at all skill levels. Many extra events outside the weekly schedule are offered throughout the year which give those seeking additional challenges more opportunity to specialized training. All in all this place ranks with the best and one merely needs to come try it out to know if it's a good fit to enhance your life with as it has mine. read more

I am working out at KMMA Tampa through the KMMA Global organization. I started as a way to work out and stay fit along with my children. All my children attend and by learning the techniques, I am better able to work with them. When I have tried to really test their Self Protection, I am glad we chose KMMA. They are smaller than I am, but quite capable of hurting me to get lose from my grip. They are taught to practice the techniques but not try at home without an adult. They learn about life skills and no amount of money can replace the skills they gain at this school. They are able to apply many of the principle taught in class to other areas of their life. This has been an awesome fit for our family. read more

KMMA is thee source for authentic Krav Maga training. Shihan has used his decades of martial training to enhance the effectiveness of Krav Maga. As a newly married man I wasn't looking for a martial arts gym for fitness or learning fancy forms, I needed to know how to protect my wife and myself against one or several attackers and get home safely. Shihan of KMMA has taught my how to do just that. KMMA is second to none in teaching you how to get out of harms way while immobilizing your attacker. There is no posing or screaming just effective training from instructor Shihan a 5th degree black-belt in Krav Maga. If your looking for real life knowledge on how to defend against guns, knives, sticks and multiple attackers like I was then KMMA is the school for you. read more
