Our Community

Our mission is to provide the best in Krav Maga training with a fun and supportive community.

We want you to feel safer, more confident, and prevail because of your training with us. We do this by providing high-quality self-defense training that stretches your limits using realistic scenarios in a safe supportive environment, as well as through numerous options for improving your fitness with cardio and conditioning classes, and cross-training in different martial and combative arts.

It’s not just the great training – we want you to feel like you are a part of a community. We are not a boot camp system or an ego system. We know that you can push yourself harder when you feel camaraderie and support, and pushing yourself to the edge under stress is what can make the difference between effective and ineffective training.

Security Industry Services

Through our Applied Tactics Division, we provide training that is delivered by personnel who are active professionals in the US and overseas. We believe that directhands-on experience is necessary for providing exceptional training. We offer professional security training to all branches, understanding the nuanced differences between the needs and goals of each group. We are recognized by law enforcement and military in several countries. Our Applied Tactics instructor team draws on decades of experience in the field, with direct applied knowledge of the material and concerns. We are focused on delivering high-quality training, and ensuring the safety and security of our community, including individuals, families, first responders, military, and our veterans.

We understand that there is a different mindset and mission with law enforcement and military members. We conduct our law enforcement and military classes separately from the civilian programs to provide a training environment conducive to law enforcement and military members. An important value to the law enforcement and military community is that our instructors mentor and develop the mindset of all students based on their real-life experience as First Responders and combat veterans.

Our Applied Tactics Division offers CQB/CQC, Firearms, and Tactical Medicine courses tailored for each department, unit, and team’s specific needs. These courses and more can be held at our Tactical Training Facility or at the customer’s site.
