I highly recommend KMD Dallas. From the very first day I stepped foot in the facility, I’ve felt welcome and a part of the family. They go above and beyond to show they care about you as a person.
I also appreciate that each instructor brings a different style and strength to their teaching. I’ll admit that when you first sign up, you tell yourself that there is no way you’ll have the time to train more than twice a week. But there are weeks I’m up here 4 to 5 times. It gets addicting quick!

Great environment, better people. I've never taken self defense classes or even worked out consistently. I was naturally timid coming into my first class but the instructors and other students make you feel at home. There's all kinds of people and body types learning together. I highly recommend it whether you want to learn to defend yourself, build your confidence, or just get in better shape.

I came for the Krav classes and stayed for the people. The instructors are patient with students and work hard to challenge and build a strong self-defense foundation for beginners. I appreciate the facility’s beginner-friendly atmosphere—instructors will break movements down into digestible chunks so that anyone can perform them.
Beyond that, though, the people at KMD are absolutely lovely. I look forward to going to class every day.

If you are looking for a family atmosphere ? This is your place. I have trained at several places over the years, but Erik and his instructors are absolutely the best at making every student feel like family.
This is not a "clickish" atmosphere. Everyone at every age is welcome and the staff goes out of their way to help.
All the instructors have their own style. I enjoy taking some classes from Erik, then Becky, then Johnny, etc. They are all great. You can rotate like I do, or just find the one you connect with best. These instructors are very down to earth and approachable for

This is a great school.
The instructors do a good job of explain why things are done, not just how.
I really appreciate their focus on safety. They take the time to make sure students understand how to protect themselves form injury during training.
The school is very new student friendly. The level 1 courses are laid out to provide the groundwork for the more advanced classes. They do a good job of breaking techniques down into bite-sized steps working towards the full training technique.

I have trained at several places over the years. KMD is definitely my favorite. The instructors and staff definitely go out of the way to treat you like family. From the first day of class they absorb you into their family. They also have a good variety of times and classes.

Erik was amazing! I called about 10 places before him desperately looking for help with my young son being bullied. Every place before turned me down saying “he is too young”. Erik took the time to meet with us for a free consult, offered private lessons, even offered advise on other programs outside his business that would be helpful. We just left with such a weight lifted off of us. We can not wait to come back and work with him. I would give 10 starts if I could! So genuine and kind! Thank you so much.

Can't say enough good things about this place! I have worked out at other studios and am not new to the industry. People make the difference & Krav Maga Dallas has great people. The instructors are top-notch, the programs are solid & the owner actually teaches classes (beginner classes as well as higher level...not always the case).
I've been working out at Krav Maga Dallas for 6 months and plan to continue this journey for a long time. This is the first time that I have written a review for a company and I feel confident that these guys earn the five stars daily.

I have had a blast at this gym. It is a good workout to get in shape and learn how to defend yourself on the streets. The instructors are very knowledgeable and good at explaining the proper techniques to use during training. If you attend here never hesitate to ask a question the instructors will always be will to help.

I have been attending classes here for about 2 1/2 months now. Started out with a groupon to check it out. I am newly sober and this has been the perfect outlet for me to help stay fit, reduce anxiety and get out in general to meet new awesome people in a positive environment. The staff are far more than accommodating, super sweet and helpful. They go out of their way to introduce themselves and get to know you and answer any questions you might have. My self confidence has boosted so much, even my first class I walked away learning a lot. Now I'm addicted to this. I love Krav Maga dallas

I initially was drawn to Krav Maga during a women's 6-week challenge that incorporated Krav principles with fitness. I've since transitioned to their KravFit and KravYoga classes, as well as attending a handful of adult beginner classes.
The instructors in KravFit and adult classes are fantastic -- they really pay attention to making sure the principles of Krav are followed and are very hands-on at correcting form when needed. I love that the basics are hammer(fist)ed into us to make sure we get enough experience feeling comfortable throwing an elbow, knee, palmheel, or kick. I have

Watch out before you sign the contract, notice all the loopholes. Me and my Boyfriend had to move after I got sick. The owner was said out contract was worth $1500 and we had only been going for 3 months. When they only offer two classes a week for us and we now lived 40 minutes out it seemed reasonable to let us go. Nope. Not a chance. He wanted all his money no exceptions. So even after the move and medical bills we had to pay $500.00 for ending a contract after only three months. Of course they would make anyone hurt and angry , and the instructors are kind but it is just a money hungry struggling

Just like everyone else, I bought the Groupon to train here. 10 classes for $20. They neglect to tell you in fine print that you only have 30 days to use these classes. I went up there and signed the waiver on Feruary 4, 2015 but I did not train. They signed me up anyways but told me that I could not take a class until the 24th. So basically, I got to train for one week instead of 4 weeks and since I didn't sign a long term contract with them, they didn't really care to listen to my explantion as to why they were not honoring their deal. It didn't help that when I walked in

While I really enjoyed my time at this place, it's just too far in bitter traffic for me to continuing going. I bought the Groupon and attended classes with friends. They called and arranged the first class by calling them for more info. Upon arrival, I was confused because the entrance is actually in the back, the store front door is often used as ventilation during class. I showed up super early but they opened up a little late due to the weather. I'll admit I was pretty annoyed that they were late but in the end it didn't matter to me because the instructors were so nice. We learned

Bought a Groupon for classes with a friend of mine. We've gone to 3 classes so far and they've all been great. We learned fighting stances, the correct way to throw a punch and various kicks, elbowing, pushing an assailant and techniques for how to attached based on the opponents size and distance from you. Very useful information. We really enjoy it. I highly recommend going with someone you know as there is a lot of pairing up, however if you go alone, don't fret- lots of people are looking for partners.
The trainers are all very knowledgeable. Both men and women run the class

DESTINATION BOOT CAMP REVIEW
I purchased a Groupon for the Destination Hard Body Boot Camp hosted here in February of 2012 and it is amazing! So much so, I have been going each month and have seriously watched the hard work pay off.
This space is open an ready for a butt kicking. This location features one large room with a variety of handheld weights, pull up rings, and a soft padded room for harder workouts.
Excellent location on the corner of Parker and Independence. This suite is tucked back in the shopping center next to the Curves and an Italian restaurant.

I purchased a groupon for my 12 yr old for 20 Krav Maga Classes.
It's a husband & wife that were teaching the classes. There were about 20 kids there on a Wednesday. They seem very calm and patient and my son learned a couple of moves in just one visit.
I'm extremely excited for the classes to come.

I started going here as I had several friends that were experienced in Krav Maga who recommended it. The instructors were very clear and have anyone who needed help extra attention. The classes are very intense and in a short amount of time i was able to learn very effective self defense that i now feel confident i could execute on the street if i needed to. they are careful to assess the level of skill of the student and adapt intensity and or training for the student.
I have seen many students come from other competitive krav schools to this one to get training because of the level of professionalism
