Adult Krav Maga

Ages 15+
The Adult Program at Krav Elite teaches real self-defense for real situations. No tournaments, no sport, no fluff , just practical techniques used by military and law enforcement around the world, taught in a way that works for everyday people. You will learn how to strike with power, escape grabs and chokes, defend against weapons, and stay calm under pressure. Classes are high-energy and challenging, but built for all fitness levels. Whether you have never trained a day in your life or you have years of experience, you will find your place here. Most students come in looking for self-defense skills and leave with something they didn't expect, a total transformation in confidence, fitness, and mindset. After just a few weeks, you carry yourself differently. You feel prepared. That feeling doesn't stay in the gym, it follows you everywhere.

Women's Krav Maga

Strong. Confident. Prepared.
The Women's Self-Defense Program at Krav Elite was built specifically with women in mind. Not a watered-down version of what the men train, BUT the same proven, real-world system, taught in an environment that is welcoming, empowering, and completely judgment-free.You will learn the skills that matter most. How to break free from grabs and holds, defend against a larger and stronger attacker, stay aware of your surroundings, and respond with confidence when it counts. These are not theoretical techniques. They are practical tools you can use immediately, regardless of your size, strength, or fitness level.What women consistently say after joining is that the training changed how they move through the world. Less anxious. More aware. Stronger than they ever thought possible. The fitness benefits are real, the community is supportive, and the skills you build here could one day be the most important ones you have.You don't need experience, you don't need to be in shape, and you don't need to be tough already. You just need to show up.

Kids/TEENS Self Defense

Ages 6-15
As a parent, your number one priority is keeping your child safe. Whether your child is 6 or 16, the world they navigate today comes with real challenges and the Krav Elite Kids & Teen Program gives them the tools to handle all of it. We teach real personal safety skills in an age-appropriate, high-energy environment. Younger students learn how to recognize danger, use their voice, create distance, and protect themselves from harm, all while having fun and building friendships. Teens learn practical self-defense that works regardless of size or strength, along with situational awareness, how to set firm boundaries, de-escalate conflict, and respond decisively when physical defense is necessary. Every class is structured, positive, and purpose-driven. But the benefits go far beyond self-defense. Parents consistently tell us their child became more focused, more confident, and more composed after just a few weeks. For younger kids, that shows up in school and at home. For teens, it shows in how they carry themselves, a quiet, grounded confidence that changes how they interact with peers, handle pressure, and approach every challenge life throws at them. This is not babysitting with punching. This is a program with purpose, one that builds awareness, character, and capability at every age, instilling values that will serve your child for a lifetime. Your child's first 2 weeks of classes is completely free. Come in, watch them train, and see the difference for yourself.

What our students write about us

  • Todd ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    Incredible self defense gym. The instructor/ owner Brian is very skilled with a calm welcoming demeanor. The lessons are challenging and teach you true self defense with an amazing workout. The gym has lots of regular clients which makes for a fun and welcoming atmosphere.
    Jay ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    Great place to train! The techniques are extremely applicable in real world situations where self defense is required. Brian does a great job at breaking it down and explaining the philosophies behind the techniques. It’s also a fun, friendly atmosphere and you get a good workout in as well. I highly recommend checking it out!
    Binish ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    I was terrified of coming to this class because I wasn't sure what type of rugged terrain I'd have to navigate. Attending my first class was the best decision of my life. Every fear and doubt I had was challenged by some of the most supportive and encouraging people. I walked into that door and met the most effortlessly kind/empowering men & women. I shared my story of trauma with Mr. Lee and since then he's basically taken my weaknesses and forced me to face those fears. He's nurturing but stern and places a strong emphasis on correct form. It's NOT boot camp! Thus far, it's been an uplifting place where you're learning practical life saving skills and it's really fun. The comradery is very real. I can't express how glad I am to have fought my feelings and took that first step. I highly encourage anyone who is facing uncertainty and self doubt to try this class. Do it! This is where you'll find a community of supporters. Thank you Mr. Lee!!!
  • Andrew ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    Very pleased with this place. Brian explains the practical aspect of EVERYTHING we are doing, encouraging us to train harder and ensures accuracy every step of the way. Every class gives me an intense workout. What I like the most is that every class, I'm learning something new and that he keeps the whole class moving and engaged at every moment (no wasted time). I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a welcoming place to train (hard) where you are going to develop real-world, self-defense skills.
    Monica ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    I just started taking classes, but I feel like I've learned a lot so far, especially about myself. Classes are small, so Brian has time to demonstrate, observe, correct, and answer all my questions! Google maps was a bit confusing as it identified a different business in the plaza. To be clearer, the classes are part of the gym, but the entrance is right next door. You won't have to enter the gym at all.
    William ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    My wife and I really love Krav Elite. The instructors always have a fun and engaging class that you always walk away from with a new skill in the martial art. We highly recommend getting started with Krav if you have the chance! You won't regret it!
  • Nick ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    Brian(owner instructor) is very knowledgeable in KM His classes are well planned and very informative as well as having a light atmosphere
    Rob ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    I’ve been attending Krav Elite for a little over a year now. Brian is a fantastic instructor—knowledgeable, patient, supportive, and always focused on helping me improve. I also appreciate the little things: classes start and end on time, the atmosphere is always fun, the students are incredibly friendly, and we get to learn self-defense techniques at a comfortable pace in a safe environment where there’s no worry about getting injured. I’ve definitely noticed improvements in my fitness and strength, and I feel more confident in my ability to defend myself.
    Sharon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    Great classes, great prices and great environment! Brian teaches you everything you need to know to be able to get out of a sticky situation. The world today is so unpredictable, and having the knowledge to defend yourself is invaluable. Highly recommend, can’t wait to learn more!
