We are a small, family-focused martial arts gym that has grown and evolved over several decades and multiple generations. Our mission is to provide the best training possible for self defense and combat sports in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. We've grown together as a family, supporting each other through thick and thin.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has roots in traditional Judo fundamentals and has since been adapted into its own sport. Codified in Brazil under the Gracie family, BJJ teaches how to control or disable another person through takedowns, pins, joint locks, and chokes.
Proper technique involves an understanding of leverage and basic principles of biomechanics and physics, and a skilled practitioner can effectively neutralize a much larger and/or stronger opponent.Beyond that, BJJ is an entirely unique culture within the martial arts world. At our gym you'll be welcomed onto our team, and during training egos are left at the door.

I was super nervous coming to this gym being a smaller, young female, but I'm so glad I decided to go try it out (despite being scared) because this gym quickly became my happy place for the two months I was able to go. I can't say enough nice things about the instructors who are all so patient and helpful and make all the classes so fun! And the students are so welcoming and will give you tips and help you out if you need it! I definitely would recommend this for those wanting some self defense (especially females, this knowledge really is invaluable) because I feel so much more confident

These guys are awesome. I took their classes for two summers, between being out of town for school. First, they're extremely newbie friendly. I had no clue what I was doing when I first stepped on the mat, and they made me feel right at home.
It doesn't matter what kind of shape you're in, you'll work up a sweat in just the warm-up! They're fantastic at blending badassery, with realistic self-defense principles (i.e., in a real knife fight your best option is to run), with an awesome cardio and strength workout. They're also serious about safety-- they've always

I really wanted to give these guys more stars because they are very welcoming, nice folks who obviously love what they do.
That said, I received a serious arm injury during the free intro class that was completely preventable, if they'd slowed down and put a bit more emphasis on form over fun. I'm a rookie at this stuff, so I depend on the experts to help me on proper form and safety before moving on to things that'll get me hurt if I do them wrong.
I understand that the focus of the free intro class is to entice people into signing up. So, the more "fun" it is, the more

Why did I choose to learn Krav Maga first rather than other martial arts? I guess you could say it's because it's just different from other arts such as the mainstreams ones like karate or taekwondo. And so I took a trial class at this gym because it was the closest to me in Dallas where I was able to learn a lot in one hour which consisted of different kicks and choke counters. It was a really fun experience and the other students there were not only friendly, but also very helpful. I signed up for the program.

This is one of the best classes i've ever taken for building my confidence to defend myself as well as fitness! i originally talked to Daniel and he was great at explaining how it all works in detail as well as telling me which classes i would benefit the most from being new to Krav Maga.
i soon found Chelsah as my favorite instructor, partly because i'm a girl and she is too so there was an immediate comfort level that if she can do it so can i! and you talk about someone that is passionate about teaching and proper technique! did i mention how this is also the best workout ever. i was

Krav DFW gives you a TON of bang for your buck. For a basic monthly membership, you get access to unlimited classes (within your experience bracket) at both of their locations, which gives you somewhere around 40 options a week. You could take 3 classes a day 6 days a week if you were masochistic enough to do so! It's extremely cost-effective. The owner is a great guy who is very down-to-earth and friendly, and all the instructors are experts in safety, conditioning, and their craft. Krav Maga gives you an arsenal of tools to use in real-world situations-- so you don't waste any time

I have been a student here for 14 months (transferred from the Carrollton/Addison location)
This is the real deal. Whether you want to learn effective self defense or just have an intense workout, you can find it here.
The core of this school is Krav Maga technique for self-defense. The pace of the beginner (Yellow Belt or Level 1) classes is slow enough that anyone can participate regardless of their current fitness level or martial arts background. They offer a free trial to anyone interested- just sign a waiver and jump in, no appointment necessary.
The Level 1 course is enough to establish

This is the best place to go to get fit, learn how to protect yourself and gain confidence.
The place is easy to find, very clean and roomy and the staff and students are great! It has much more of a family feel than an impersonal hour long class. Everyone there really strives to help you learn and not make you feel inferior if you're new.
I really recommend anyone who is considering Krav to come give it a see. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

This is the newest location for Krav Maga in DFW. My husband and I just joined and we love the community we have found with the other members, quality of instruction, size and cleanliness of the facility, variety of training options, value, and great workout we received while learning a useful (save-your) life skill. Highly recommend!
