Krav MD is an awesome place! I was shopping the area for Crossfit places and found this gym. They're WAY less expensive than places that only serve Crossfit a few times a week, and this place has unlimited Krav Maga, Crossfit, and other training programs. The staff is great and know what they're doing, it's a very clean and professional looking facility with everything you need to come after work, workout, shower, and head home. I love working out here and am excited to start up my classes again.

As to the quality of training; it's very good. I have seen that some people complain about repetition or being told they aren't approaching this correctly and I can confirm that this has happened to me. I was trained in Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, and JKD before coming here and I got the same comments on my stance and my style. That's not an actual problem though. Krav Maga is a very different fighting style than most others. It's a lot less martial art and a lot more self defense. If you've trained a lot in an Asian style you're probably going to have to relearn some things and will be corrected a few times. My approach has simply been to follow the training, absorb the lessons, and in a few years when I've earned my levels I will bring what I learned in with the rest of my skills and make it my own.
Krav Maga is about aggression and self defense, so don't expect to hold fancy punch poses, expect to have someone choking you, trying to stab you, or trying to shoot you, because that's what this stuff is for.

As for the crossfit, I'm very pleased. This isn't some tossed together staff that doesn't even know what the correct form for a squat is; these guys want you to do things properly and safely so that you can get a great workout and avoid injury. They're not walking around in tank tops screaming at you, they're carefully watching the group and helping people get their reps in the right way and motivating us to push ourselves.

The contract is 6mo/1yr/2yrs. But you can cancel if you move, just be sure you want to do this stuff before you start. It's cheaper the longer you sign up for of course. They also will do 2month+ extensions if you're out of town or something and need your contract on hold. No complaints here because the price is REALLY excellent.
