Where do I start… The facility is awesome, and they’re currently renovating to add even more space. Parking is surprisingly convenient, and yes—they’ve even got showers!The real crown jewel of KMR is the staff. The instructors come from all walks of life, and their passion for martial arts and teaching is undeniable. They’re great at pushing your limits while adapting training to fit your needs.Coming from another martial art myself, I can say that after about six months here, the program gives you a solid foundation across a variety of real-world scenarios. It’s a well‑rounded self‑defense curriculum. The Krav signature is the mindset, aggression, and a lot more cardio than you expect! I’m no pro, but I’m excited to keep progressing through the ranks.The only downside? Classes run like clockwork, so there’s not much time to mingle between sessions. Fortunately, KMR hosts plenty of social events outside of class. It’s a great community with awesome people—and it’s hard not to want more time with them. You’ve got to give them a try!
This was my first time and was a guest. The class was intense but a great workout. The instructor was wonderful as well and helps guide you through the workout!
Love this place. It feels like a family. Everyone is welcoming. Krav is super practical for self defense. I have a little bit of Muay Thai background and I was able to just utilize those skills and support my training. Classes are awesome and all the instructors are great!
I’ve been attending classes at Krav Maga Raleigh for the past year and I’ve had a positive experience. The instructors are very knowledgeable and are passionate about each student getting the techniques right. If you’re looking to get in shape and are interested in learning to defend yourself, I highly encourage you to come in. Please tell them that Bill sent you.
I’ve been attending KMR for two years coming up. I can say I’ve really grown due to how amazing the instructors are at producing good students. It has been a great experience for me, and along the way I’ve made some really awesome friends. It’s a great community of people, not to mention a legit self defense school that prepares you for the real world. 10/10! For the ladies, they’re also opening up more classes for us which is great. There’s nothing like punching the bag and updating your gal pal on the latest highlight. Back to focus though!
