Triangle Krav Maga

This is in reference to the concelaed carry class only. Instructor was rude to his employees more than once. Class was funny but some information was incorrect after doing some research after the class was over. He talked about Krav Maga a lot during the class and it was a little annoying considering we were there for a concealed carry permit class. (I guess you have to advertise whenever you can) Reshoot fee is $ 30 and there are other classes that do not charge that. If you miss one out of the required «hits» you have to do the whole shooting portion over from the beginning. So be aware of that if you do sign up and do some research to make sure that you get a class/​instructor that is helpful and spends time teaching the correct info and not talking about martial arts.

This review is specifically for the Conceal Carry Handgun (CCH) Course. This class was absolutely fantastic! I’ve heard so many horror stories from friends and family members about how extremely boring CCH classes can be, so I put off taking it for a long time. I finally signed up and I am so glad I chose this one. Molotov and his staff were extremely helpful and informative, and I actually had a really fun time the whole day. Molotov has so much real-​world experience in self-​defense that he has a story for almost every law/​rule/​regulation that has to be taught during the course. Those stories and examples make learning not only more interesting, but also way more effective because you can recall the laws easier when you remember his examples. The written exam wasn’t very difficult (everyone in my group passed), and then we went to the range. At the range I was pretty nervous, but Marquis did a great job of easing my anxiety. If you don’t pass the first time they even let you reshoot right then and there.
If you are in the Triangle area and looking to get your conceal carry permit, this is the course to take!

Triangle Krav Maga offers best Krav classes in triangle area. I wanted to write a raving review the very first day I attended the class here, but held onto my horses for a month. Here’s my experience so far.
Classes:
The classes are very intense. We start with stretching and cardio, then jump right into sparring and actual training with a partner and pad on real-​life situations. All students are treated equally and taught well.
Instructors:
TKM has great instructors. Molotov, Jamie and Jon are very knowledgeable, supportive and approachable. I am a big fan of Molotov’s and Jon’s classes. Jon’s classes have redefined Friday evenings to lot of us.
If you are attending limited number of classes you should attend Molotov’s class. He is a Krav Maga Guru and a great mentor [and he’s very VERY funny].
Take away:
Whether you have mastered the technique or not, when you leave the class, you leave with a change in perception, reception and response to fear. This is a biggest lesson that TKM offers. You are empowered and confident to face adverse situations. After a month of training I highly recommend Krav Maga and hiiiiighly recommend you learn it at TKM.
PS: The support staff is great too [seriously, there is nothing that’s not great here.]

I have been training at TKM now for 2.5 years. I have to say without a doubt– hands down– this is the most badass effective training you can get! Jaimie is passionate, precise and a joy to be around. Molotov is downright genius in his tactics and creative– outside the box– combatives. I can’t wait to see where this school goes next. It isn’t easy. They will push you to your limits. But I’ve got to accomplish things I never thought I would be able to do. It’s a blast. This training has changed my life. KIDA!!! :)

I’ve been a member at TKM for about 10 months. This is the only school of any kind that I’ve ever been legitimately excited to attend. Weekdays may be dull for some people, but mine aren’t because I know I can look forward to Krav 2 – 3 nights each week. I leave every class exhausted, more knowledgable, and hungry for the next one.
The instructors are some of the most excellent people I’ve ever met (so are the students, for that matter), and they always keep classes fun and entertaining.
TKM is a community that promotes respect, trust, camaraderie, intensity, and perseverance. You will learn to defend yourself fiercely and efficiently. You will be pushed to achieve your potential, which is always greater than you realize. You will sometimes get bruises or bloody knuckles, and you will always shed gallons of sweat. There will be times when you are hunched over, gasping, and questioning your ability to proceed, but you will find the strength and surprise yourself.
TKM will undoubtedly make you a better person. Give it a shot, but be warned: it’s addictive.

I’ve been a member at TKM for almost one year now. I’ve come to expect that every class will be a challenge and that I will leave feeling exhausted but accomplished. There are no egos and no slack, but at the same time the instruction is positive and fun. The workouts can be intense. With a little consistency in attendance I’ve been able to get in the best shape I’ve even been in, have learned how to throw a decent punch, and I feel better than ever about my ability to defend myself or my family if needed. I highly recommend TKM if you are looking to improve your self defense, fighting, or general fitness level. Kida!

Excellent workout and learn realistic self defense skills. Prepare yourself for any situation.

I took a few Krav Maga classes back in India and decided to check TKM before I checked UNC, when I first moved here. After a few minutes of Molotov’s class (with Derek Wade as my training partner), I felt home. I didn’t take as many classes as I would have ideally wanted to but I did learn a lot of useful techniques. The Krav mindset and spirit transcends into other aspects of ones life too. I had an awesome time and will miss the friends I made here. TKM is elite, Kida !

I’ve been coming to this gym for about three months, and I’ve had a great time. An horu of Krav Maga is an *excellent* workout, and all of the instructors are friendly, helpful and very motivated to make this a great experience. I never leave feeling like I didn’t get 100% pulled out of me, and I“ll definitely keep coming back.

You guys are great keep up the good work

If you want to train hard… defend your personal rights… protect people you love, your family, friends and life… Triangle Krav Maga is that place… a hidden gem right here in Durham… this place is the definition for active responsibility… by that I mean the place values everything good in your life. ever since I’ve joined the place I’ve developed a sense of comradery, brotherhood and friendship with many of the folks who train there and those that train us… Molotov/​Patricia/​Scott are wonderful people who inspire us to to push harder and work for things that matter… our health and the safety of those around us. I’ve taken several courses offered by them and even had the pleasure to interact with law enforcers and servicemen… once again fantastic experiences… if you ever wanted to challenge yourself in life. Krav Maga is that perfect sport… I’m stronger and healthier… Molotov Mitchell is probably the best trainer there is… well…he’s Molotov to me. Kida!

Having personally trained with him as a student at another facility, I have the utmost confidence in Molotov’s ability to effectively train people in the premier hand-​to-​hand combat system of the modern world. He is a fast study and a deliberate teacher.

Great times learning some defensive moves. I walked in thinking I wasn’t going to get much out of the class, but boy did they prove me wrong. They even offer women’s only classes which is very nice. One word of advice, partner with someone your own size or comparable.

Last night I took the Level 1 Krav Maga class with a group of friends, taught by Molotov. I think it was a great class. I got a great workout in, and I learned a lot! The hour long class consisted of a warm-​up (which was the most intense part: pushups, wheelbarrow pushups, crunches, jumping jacks, some stretching). Then there were some basic fighting techniques (punching form, etc). Then we did some gun attack stuff, which was actually pretty cool. The class ended up lasting about 75 – 80 minutes. Throughout the class, Molotov provided information on the history and philosophy of Krav Maga.
If it’s your first time, I would suggest bringing a friend. If you’re a woman, I would suggest bringing a female friend (not a male significant other, or you could also make it a double date with another couple) — some of the activities, such as punching against a pad your partner is holding against his or her chest, or doing crunches while someone sits on your knees and pushes you down, might be difficult if there is a large disparity in strength between the two people. There was definitely some giggling (you know, giggling-​in-​the-​face-​of-​death type giggling) that Molotov seemed annoyed with, but not annoyed enough to be rude in any way. He was also fantastic about answering our questions. of which we had a lot!
The complaints I had were super minor — they didn’t seem to know how to charge us for the class (except in cash), and I would have liked a little more clarification on some things (for instance. I have no idea what the slider on a handgun is, so dont tell me to grab it). With that being said, I thought it was a fantastic experience and worth checking out! I will definitely go back. Overall, I definitely recommend checking out a class.

One year ago I was an overweight wimp who had never thrown a punch and HATED working out. Now, I’ve lost 40+ pounds and I’m in the best shape of my life. I can’t tell you how great it feels to walk down the street at night knowing that I can defend myself if the need arises, or to look in a mirror with a sense of pride in my reflection. It’s all thanks to Triangle Krav Maga and Molotov’s excellent teaching. I’m addicted!

As we all know some material can be boring as heck, but Molotov turned the concealed carry training course into something enjoyable. His firearms back ground, Krav Maga history and fresh approach make him an excellent teacher and if you are looking for a place to take the required class in order to get your concealed carry or just interested in learning more about fire arm safety I highly recommend you take it at Triangle Krav Maga.
The facility is great with a central location to all parts o the triangle, the staff is helpful and knowledgeable. I have not taken a Krav Maga class here but after the wonderful experience I had with these guys that is definitely on my list of things to do.
