I joined Krav Maga Maryland in August 2014 with absolutely zero martial arts or self-defense experience. It was something I'd always wanted to try, and I chose Krav Maga after learning about it through a friend who was a student and instructor at KMMD. I also liked that KM is geared toward real-world situations - that definitely appealed to my practical side. The sales pitch was certainly very persuasive, but ultimately I chose to sign up, and I'm glad I did. I've been attending classes weekly and have learned so much in the past several months; I've seen a lot of real improvement in myself since my first few classes. My instructors' teaching style is very professional, but they keep the atmosphere light and friendly at the same time. I learn simple yet effective self-defense techniques, get a good workout at the same time, and go home from every class in a really great mood. I'm really glad I made this decision, and I would encourage others to try KMMD!
