Fearless Nation offers authentic Krav Maga training recognized by the IKMF. Fearless Nation is NOT about taking your money, going easy on you, and giving you a belt like many other places. It is about providing students with the knowledge, training, and the necessary skills to be able to avoid or survive a physical attack while at the same time improving your physical conditioning to the highest level. The programs offered are well structured and hardcore. In my opinion, Instructor Phil and Fearless Nation offers the best and most comprehensive training that you will find in the area.

They work very well together to provide a unified approach to training. In other words, you will receive consistent instruction on techniques and katas. Sparring is part of the class. If you are not used to sparring (fighting with pads,) don't worry. The idea is to help your partner train, not deliver a beat down. The organization is faith based: Protestant Christian as you probably guessed from the title. However, no one is turned away and everyone is made to feel welcome. Pricing is very affordable. You will need to buy a uniform, but there is some flexibility there plus used equipment is sometimes available as well. They work well with small kids and older adults. So, no one should be intimidated.

My nine-year-old daughter had been attending Okami Clan MMA before and after school program for one…read moremonth. The first 3 payments I was overcharged an unseemly amount but after several phone calls in attempt to receive credit and to correct the charges I was placed on a recurring payment plan that seemed appropriate. I strongly advise not to pay with a card. My utmost issue took place on Thursday, February 21st. After picking up my daughter, I noticed she was visibly upset and had been crying. In speaking to my daughter she states she became frightened after an employee, Von Claude Parker began making statements that he would harm her. In speaking with my daughter, she stated Von instructed she and other students in the class to stand with their nose against the wall and not to move or otherwise turn around or he would throw a knife at their back. She states Von then began to approach various children from behind telling them that their parents had arrived to pick them up, which subsequently caused the child to turn around thinking they were leaving the facility. At that time Von Parker would strike each child in the back with what was later identified as a pool noodle "punishing them" for not following his instructions to remain still with their nose against the wall. According to my child, she began to cry silently as she did not know what was happening and tried to remain perfectly still in fear. I informed my child that while upsetting, I was sure Von would not actually hurt a child and asked if she had informed Mr. Parker as to her fears. At that time my daughter stated Von (as well as other instructors) had previously informed the class on many occasions that crying was a sign of weakness and would often ridicule children who they determined to be weak by calling them sissy's. She stated the whole point of this place is to be tough. During the time my child has attended Okami Clan MMA when picking her up, I have personally witnessed Von, grab another child's belly, pinching excess fat while telling the child, "You shouldn't eat cupcakes because you're bellys so fat." My daughter has also stated that Von would tell the class as a whole how "ugly" they were. On several occasions, my daughter has come home feeling uncomfortable with the name calling and "inappropriate" conversations taken place at this facility. On Friday, February 22nd I went to Okami Clan MMA and spoke with the owner Robert Batey (otherwise known as "Sensei"), in an attempt to express my concerns. At that time Robert became extremely defensive and insisted Von (his brother) would never do or say those things. He was extremely rude and insulting to not only myself but my child as he stated, "This is what was wrong with the world today, Parents who coddle their kids." Robert went on to state that I was was being irrational for addressing my issue with him, that this conversation should not be held between him and I but with my child, because she shouldn't be so frail. I found Robert to be extremely rude and both Robert and Von to be unprofessional in not only how they address their students, but equally in how they speak to parents.
