What a find! I'm new to the area and this has been a great place to socialize, work out, and learn important skills. As a woman I always feel safe and respected here but also challenged to improve. A+ teachers and fellow students. read more

Started this month & I'm really enjoying it! There's several times and classes to join & learn from. Krav teaches you self defense which is great to know and the kickboxing conditioning provides a great workout if you need a quick 30min ! The instructors are knowledgeable and you learn something new in every class . read more

If you have a child needs or wants to learn self-defense, this is the place to go. Joe and Doreen are great instructors. They have a lot of patience and disciplined to help train teach children under the age of 13. I highly recommend them. It's worth the drive from Tampa for me to know that my daughter is getting the best training possible. read more

I'm about 5 mos delayed in updating this review but wanted to share the amazing experience I had with 1:1 sessions with Dora after participating in the 6 week women's self defense class. In short, the gym is still amazing as I stated in my last review but private sessions with Dora was exactly what I needed to refine the skills I learned and tailor training to my strengths. Dora is incredibly caring, knowledgeable and easy to get on with. Cannot say enough good things about her but my favorite is probably how much she referred to me as TINY (referring to my height) and I'd honestly continuing to pay her for this alone as I've never been a small girl!!! She is really the best. Highly recommend training with her! Some of my other likes about this gym is the immaculate bathrooms (very soft TP) and great pens, I still use to this day, in addition to the great staff of course. It's the little things really! In short, it's a great place, I'd still be attending if I hadn't moved! read more

This is an excellent self defense school located in Largo, FL. The coach Joe Battle is a seriously experienced instructor. He's great as a trainer and fun coach to work under too. The kids love him, he's always keeping them happy and also in line. Dora, the other instructor is also amazing. Krav Maga is unique in that we train for serious, life-threatening situations. From front, rear and side chokes, to knife defense from all sides, pistol defense all sides, ground work from mount, half-mount and side amongsth others, and much more. I generally do the 'kickboxing' class as a warmup and then attend the Krav instructional class afterwards. The gym is very friendly, everyone there is like family - great for all ages. Highly recommended, I've been going there for 7+ years now. read more

I trained here for a couple of months while I was temporarily living in the area. The facility is well-equipped and conveniently located. The proprietor and instructors are highly ranked, knowledgeable, precise, approachable, welcoming and friendly. The training I received was in-depth and comprehensive to my level of experience and ability. Training for all levels is available. Practical self defense training for kids, teens, adults and seniors. All levels of physical ability are welcome. Whether you are familiar with Krav Maga or not, Tampa Bay Krav Maga is the perfect facility to pick up some vital life skills. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing place to learn self-dense and to have a great workout. The quality of instructors and teaching are just superior compared to any other self defense/martial arts gyms I've been to. Everybody there wants you to succeed and they will go out of their way to help you. It was very intimidating for someone with no experience or background to try Krav Maga for the first time but they made sure to explain techniques in details and made me feel comfortable and confident. They got amazing group of ladies (instructors and students) who are very fierce and caring. They won't pressure you into buying anything but if you've been wanting to learn how to defend yourself especially in this crazy world I'd highly recommend get their introductory special and I promise you'll get hooked. read more

As a female who has a passion for solo travelling and a tendency for running into danger, I felt the need to learn self defense. Due to its practicality, I was keen to try Krav Maga. Tampa Bay Krav Maga piqued my interest. The amiable staff immediately made me feel welcome, and gave me a terrific crash course ! Despite being new, I felt included, comfortable, and invigorated ! With a pleasant room temperature, I am eager to take classes back-to-back . Hope to spar with you soon ! read more

Best, most practical, self defense classes I've received. I've had many hours of similar classes over ten years in the military. These classes were tailored specifically to our unit's needs, focusing on the situations we'd most likely encounter. You won't meet a more professional, knowledgeable or friendly staff anywhere else. Don't hesitate to sign up for classes: you'll be much more confident in your ability to survive and defend yourself after working with these experts. Wish I had more time to spend training with them. read more

Hands down the best self defense training I've ever come across. They offer 2 free days trial -- totally worth checking out.

Save money and time! If you want to learn how to quickly and effectively defend yourself WHILE getting an outstanding workout then there is no need for two separate classes or membership when you can get both at one place. I feel amazing after every session! read more

I am a US Army Veteran and a mixed martial arts fighter with a record of 28 wins and 4 losses. I have been in the martial arts world for over 20 years! That being said, Krav Maga is NOT a martial art! Krav Maga is a scientific, reality-based, fighting/self-defense SYSTEM! This is the BEST training I have ever received in my extensive martial arts and fighting career! I initially came to Tampa Bay Krav Maga, primarily so my wife could learn how to defend herself in a bad situation. Well, Brian and Joe hit that ball well out of the park! From day one, I could tell this was different from anything I have ever done in the past! TBKM is part of the Krav Maga Global family. KMG was started by Eyal Yanilov, and for those who are unaware of who that is, he was the right-hand man per se of Imi Lichtenfeld (creator of Krav Maga). This is the purest Krav system! There are many McKrav schools, or martial arts schools where their instructors go to a three day seminar from someone and claim "we teach Krav Maga." Take it from this veteran who has worked with Israeli Defense Forces, those people are full of it! TBKM is where it is at!! Kind of like a chain restaurants saying, "no rules, just right!" That is the best way to describe TBKM. Add to all this the instructors. Brian and Joe are amazing! Both are higher level graduates (G5 and G4) in Krav Maga. Both have been around the block a time or two with martial arts. They know what they are doing, AND they are effective and efficient in their training! You will work, you will sweat, you will be sore, you will be tired, but guess what.....YOU WILL LOVE IT!!! After 20+ years of martial arts, I have found my home! Thank you!! read more

My two kids attended classes here and loved it. One initially in the kids foundation class and the other in the teen class. They both learned a great deal about self- defense and were more confident as a result. Great program! read more

Krav Maga is the real deal when it comes to self defense; and Brian and Joe are outstanding instructors. They take their craft seriously; continuously refining themselves with the most experienced Master and Experts in the world. You will learn techniques and increase your stamina and confidence. They also add a good bit of levity, so there is no intimidation factor; everyone is welcome. I've been with them for over a year and am looking forward to continuing my education with them. Your life may never be on the line in a confrontation; but if it ever is, you will wish you had studied at Tampa Bay Krav Maga! read more

This place is amazing! This the best self defense school around. Anyone can do it no matter the age or fitness level. They have morning classes and night classes to fit difficult schedules. The owners/instructors are super nice, not scary at all. They run women only courses through the year and other seminars as well. Don't put off checking it out! read more

I've had an excellent experience training at Tampa Bay Krav Maga. They really care about their students and providing quality instruction. I highly recommend this program for women interested in learning effective self-defense. The fees are reasonable and there are several options if you don't have to sign a long-term contract. read more

If you don't know what Krav Maga is, these guys will teach you all about why it is the most effective and efficent form of self defense!!! I highly recommend Tampa Bay Krav Maga to EVERYONE.

Krav Maga will do it all and Brian and Joe are the best in the Tampa Bay area!! I've never met more patient or knowledgeable instructors. Definitely come try a few classes.
