I was on the Cape for a week and was looking for a place to train…read more Patrick, the owner, could not have been nicer or more accommodating in offering a guest spot at his place. I went 3 times, including various levels of Krav Maga, a little bit of light sparring and some groundwork. The instructors were all top class. The students were well trained, good partners, and all around great and interesting people. All were very welcoming. Classes were well organized and well sized for getting the most out of each hour. I can't wait to go back next time I am on Cape Cod. If I lived here full time, I'd join immediately.

I took my son in to see the school and get us both familiar with the lay of the land. We were greeted by Pat, who is the owner, and he could not have been nicer and more welcoming. Pat explained everything simply and easily. He's professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and was willing to work out any payment plan that worked for our budget. He didn't seem like an overly eager or aggressive salesman trying to stack his numbers, but a brother, friend, mentor, happy to help us with our self defense goals. Pat was quick to offer us a class, and set my young son up with a student similar to my son's age (10-ish), to walk him through. He loved it. Krav Maga is real; the classes challenge you, the techniques truly teach you for real world potential threats. If you're having difficulty understanding something, Pat or another teacher will willingly and patiently walk you through it. The gym is clean, and COVID conscience. I love that Pat is always on hand for and question or issue. I enjoy his regular emails with reminders, updates, recent/breaking school news/events. Definitely worth taking that first step.
