I have been interested in taking Krav Maga classes ever since I watched episodes about the fighting style on ""Fight Quest"" and ""Human Weapon"". When Houston Krav Maga opened a location close to me (on I-45 between Spring and the Woodlands), I knew I had to take the classes. As a concerned parent and husband, I have often been worried about protecting my family in a world that seems to becoming more and more dangerous. I was also looking for a way to finally get in (and stay in) shape after several decades of taking it easy. I can honestly tell you that both of these needs are being met. This is NOT a fluffy, feel-good, training program. It is serious. It is hard. It will push you. You will have moments of reflection where you evaluate how physically and mentally tough you really are AND where you want to be. You don't have to be in great shape but you do have to be willing to push yourself. The staff is tough, fair, and experts in their field. They will push you to levels that you feel you can't do. If you have injuries or other conditions you will be encouraged to ""modify"" your workouts. The people you will be training with are friendly and helpful. It can be intimidating when you initially start but you will quickly fit in. Houston Krav Maga also brings in national trainers (a separate fee) to instruct us on different self-defense subjects. We have had several seminars about gun and knife defenses which have been pretty cool. Anybody that interested in touring the facilities and trying out a class should call Joe at the Houston Krav Maga North facility.
