I joined because I was interested in learning basic self-defense. I went on the tour of the place and the instructor told me I'd be learning how to disarm knifed attackers and learning how to deal with multiple attackers. They had me hook, line and sinker. Once I told them I wanted to join, they tried to talk me into a 2 yr membership, I told them I was interested in a 6 month plan, they showed me the rates and the rates were a little too high. So I decided to go with a 1 year plan....I should've stuck with 6 months.

I stopped going after 4 months. They told me I'd learn how to disarm knives, what they didn't tell me is that they don't teach the technique until level 3, which takes at least 1.5 yrs to obtain. The daily lesson plans are exactly the same as the last weeks, it just repetition and it gets really boring, which is why I stopped going.

Most of the students attending have no fighting or self-defense background and the instructors seem to get upset when they show moves and the students aren t able to properly perform the move .after only the first time being showed it.

The instructors also come off in a way that if you don t show up every day, you ll get jumped the second you walk out your front door.

Most of the male instructors try and hit on the female students, it's actually quite pathetic.
I went to a Saturday class, and overheard the owner trying to hit on the females about how he just bought a red, 2012 Toyota Highlander. The females knew what he was doing and didn't show interest, but he persisted, getting lamer and lamer in his attempts. It was actually quite comical for me.
Krav MD also offers Krav Fitness, which is actually just Cross-Fit. I watched the female fitness instructor try and talk the female students into joining the fitness program, which was pathetic as well. The female instructor kept bragging about how much weight she lost, the female students seemed interested, but wanted to know how much time it requires to see results. The instructor couldn't give an estimate; she just kept saying how the weight just falls off . A more believable answer would've been "It depends on the person, your diet, and level of intensity". But no, it was just her pre-programmed sales pitch kicking in.

This place is a McDojo, they make people pay to take the tests to promote to the next level. They just sign as many people up as possible without adding more instructors to cope with the student level. The lessons are always overcrowded. I'd have to guess the student to teacher ratio is 15:1 on a weekday, on weekends; it can be 20:1.

Even though they just want to take your money, the classes do offer a really good cardio workout, but it s not worth the $100/month (or more) they will charge you.

I was counting down the days my contract ended and I filled out a 30 day cancelation notice, if you don t, they automatically move you to a month-to-month membership. I went 2 days before my contract ended and they are still going to charge me a month because I didn t do it in time and they re unable to cancel my membership without the monthly charge. I m never going back to Krav MD and will tell as many people as I can about this place.
