Krav Maga DFW

this is one of the best classes i’ve ever taken for building my confidence to defend myself as well as fitness! i originally talked to Daniel and he was great at explaining how it all works in detail as well as telling me which classes i would benefit the most from being new to Krav Maga.
i soon found Chelsah as my favorite instructor, partly because i’m a girl and she is too so there was an immediate comfort level that if she can do it so can i! and you talk about someone that is passionate about teaching and proper technique! did i mention how this is also the best workout ever. i was using muscles i didn’t even know existed so make sure you stay hydrated so you don’t cramp up the next day!
so glad to be apart of the krav maga team!
THANK YOU DANIEL AND CHELSAH!!!

Krav DFW gives you a TON of bang for your buck. For a basic monthly membership, you get access to unlimited classes (within your experience bracket) at both of their locations, which gives you somewhere around 40 options a week. You could take 3 classes a day 6 days a week if you were masochistic enough to do so! It’s extremely cost-​effective. The owner is a great guy who is very down-​to-​earth and friendly, and all the instructors are experts in safety, conditioning, and their craft. Krav Maga gives you an arsenal of tools to use in real-​world situations– so you don’t waste any time with moves that look fancy but won’t save your life. It’s a fantastic workout, too, incorporating cardio and calisthenics in addition to intense combative drills. Many people consider Krav to be the most ‘effective’ and brutal martial art there is, and I’m inclined to agree– if you want to become a fit badass whose body could be registered as a deadly weapon, this is where you need to train. Looking forward to many years of classes here!

I have been a student here for 14 months (transferred from the Carrollton/​Addison location)
This is the real deal. Whether you want to learn effective self defense or just have an intense workout, you can find it here.
The core of this school is Krav Maga technique for self-​defense. The pace of the beginner (Yellow Belt or Level 1) classes is slow enough that anyone can participate regardless of their current fitness level or martial arts background. They offer a free trial to anyone interested– just sign a waiver and jump in, no appointment necessary.
The Level 1 course is enough to establish a good basic level of unarmed self-​defense technique. Relative proficiency in these basic reflexive techniques can typically be achieved in 3 – 6 months depending on the students abilities, background, training frequency and intensity.
Level 2,3, and higher Krav begins to require an increasing level of discipline, conditioning, and athleticism as the students learn to use and defend various weapons and the combatives become more acrobatic in nature.
The school also offers several intense conditioning classes that are mostly fighting based and generally follow the HIIT principles. No prerequisite fighting technique is necessary to be able to take these classes and they are always a good workout.
There are combatives classes (ranging from Muay Thai to Boxing based focus) which focus on refining striking technique and keeping a high level of intensity (these are some of the most fun, btw).
There are ground survival classes which range from 90% BJJ technique classes to more of an MMA style class while keeping in mind that the goal at this school is self-​defense or escaping (no winning by points is taught here)
Executive MMA and sometimes combatives classes can get into light-​mid sparring with gear for those who so desire.
The atmosphere is very welcoming and there are no ego issues that I’ve ever seen.

The trainers’ backgrounds vary from Muay Thai to BJJ to Karate guys who are running out of places to store their many black belts (cough — danny –cough)
It’s free to try so why not? You might find something you like.

I’ve been a KMDFW student for the last year. I started out at the North Dallas location @ Trinity Mills and recently moved closer to the Turtle Creek location (which they refer to as the «Uptown» school… not sure why).
The instructors at both schools are very inviting and friendly, and the students are a great mix of ages, races, genders, and all very helpful and friendly as well.
KMDFW also offers a number of auxiliary classes such as conditioning, combatives, groundfighting, beginner BJJ, etc.
I couldn’t recommend the school enough. Check out a free trial class and see for yourself.

This is the best place to go to get fit, learn how to protect yourself and gain confidence.
The place is easy to find, very clean and roomy and the staff and students are great! It has much more of a family feel than an impersonal hour long class. Everyone there really strives to help you learn and not make you feel inferior if you’re new.
I really recommend anyone who is considering Krav to come give it a see. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

This is the newest location for Krav Maga in DFW. My husband and I just joined and we love the community we have found with the other members, quality of instruction, size and cleanliness of the facility, variety of training options, value, and great workout we received while learning a useful (save-​your) life skill. Highly recommend!
