Peter takes his work seriously!! My teenage daughter takes from the Franklin location and these classes have built up her confidence, gotten her in incredible shape and taught her some seriously fierce self defense tactics. The music is loud and pumps you up....as well as the instructors! Well worth every penny!!

I've been toying with the idea of joining a Krav Maga gym for years, and I was so happy when I found out about Nashville Krav Maga. I decided to try it out for one class and was instantly hooked. The instructors are great...fun, thorough, encouraging. But the real gifts are the people learning alongside me. There's a real family atmosphere and everyone is there to help each other learn how to protect themselves better while getting a hell of a workout in the process. Myles and crew are building something great. I'd recommend checking it out.

Aside from being highly practical and a great way to get/keep in shape, it’s just a lot of fun. The instructors are top notch and find a way to bring everyone along at their own pace. My favorite thing about the training is that it forces me to move my middle-aged body in ways I otherwise would not.

These classes are challenging but insanely educational and empowering. Peter is a fantastic teacher with great guidance and patience but really pushes you to do better and learn the fundamentals. Take a trial class and I bet you’ll be hooked!

The instructors, atmosphere and teaching is great. My whole family goes, my 5 and 7 year olds love the instruction, I’ve seen a total change in confidence and focus in them. I’ve attended other martial arts/Krav school and Nashville Krav is superior in every way. I Highly recommend NKM if your looking for a place to learn self defense, as an adult or for your children.

Nashville Krav Maga is AMAZING! Was thinking of the variety of martial arts and decided on Krav Maga and glad I did. Even more thankful that I found Nashville Krav Maga....The first lesson was free which gives you an idea if you'll like it (and you will!)
Great Staff! Very Welcoming! Both Students and Staff.
You'll leave your first class feeling like you ACTUALLY know some defense moves! I was impressed and hooked.
Been a member a little over a month and love it. You'll gain confidence and have fun all the while getting a good work out in.

This review is waaaayy overdue as I visited this KMW location late last year, when I was in Nashville to see a friend.
I did a drop in kickboxing and level 1, and it was exactly what I was hoping for, especially while traveling.
Even though kickboxing was on wave masters, the level of difficulty was just right that everyone was drenched at the end. And level 1 was while consistent with KMW training, was "spiced up" enough that it kept me on my toes (and literally too!).
Great team of trainers, great community of students, makes me proud to continue to be part of the KMW family.

Myles, the owner and head instructor at Nashville Krav Maga, is a 2nd Degree Black Belt and is impressively knowledgeable about teaching real-world self defense. He and his team of instructors are amazing! They make regular adaptations to their teaching approach in order to connect with their students, and their expertise has made them incredibly effective at teaching people with a wide range of abilities (from very small children to advanced level adults). Whether you are interested in developing the skills necessary to defend yourself against unwanted/unwarranted aggression, or if you are interested

I started Krav Maga at this location a short while ago. Did not have any martial art experience, also coming closer to retirement age.
The staff is very helpful and taking care that I am building my skills and endurance up suited for my situation.
They learned me fast some techniques and build up my endurance and muscle mass.
I signed up for 6 months and having more fun every time I go. I ill extend my contract.
Then thinking about our youngsters, impressed how they take care that they develop fast to expert. A school I would recommend to beginners and advanced and yes all ages I have seen

I took one class with Nashville Krav Maga and BJJ while I was visiting Nashville. My class was with April, not only was she a great instructor but everyone else in the class was great too. No egos and a super supportive environment.
The gym is beautiful and they gave me a free shirt as well. Highly recommend if you're visiting or living in Nashville, super easy to get there via Uber and I'd happily train with them again.

This is such an amazing gym to train in. I saw an advertisement for their 6 week Krav Maga Challenge on Facebook, went to tour the gym and immediately signed up. Let me tell you, they are so intense here yet so welcoming. I was super intimidated by the idea of dong a Krav Maga class, but I've never had so much fun working out. The hour class goes by so fast, and the best part is that they meet you at your level.
April, the instructor, shows you how to do different exercises depending on what your body can handle. She isn't that stereotypical trainer that yells at you, rather pushes and

Nashville Krav is the real deal !! If you are lucky enough to call Nashville your home you have to get to this gym. I travel for work and get to train in gyms across the country and this is one of the best. I was able to attend all levels of training from the beginners to the advanced classes and the classes are excellent. All the instructors are friendly, helpful and truly embody the Krav Maga spirit. The students are friendly and welcoming to all the newbies and those of us with a few years under our belt.

I came here for a special Memorial Day event. It was a day-long series of trainings and drills in fitness, combat, and teamwork. And I have to say is, it was incredible. I was one of only three girls and I'm pretty sure the other two could have taken any of the guys there. I felt rather small next to everyone, but I can say with all honestly that every single person there, from the instructors to the other students, were some of the nicest and most helpful people I had ever met. This event exposed me to military-style combat drills, boxing, self defense, disarming an opponent...you name

Yelp is new to me. I base my review on experience. I have been a member since opening. The staff is bent on providing defense techniques and fitness that is designed for the normal citizen. They don't focus on sport or tournaments. Although adult oriented they also invite kids that are thirteen and over. That''s the Israeli age of adulthood. I highly recommend them to all who are interested in developing fitness and defense techniques for the real world.

I'm surprised there aren't any reviews on here yet!
I'm still sore from my second class, so I'm not exactly a seasoned veteran, but I want to share my experience so far... I came with a friend for a free class and was blown away. I needed something physical, to get in better shape and work on self-defense. Krav seemed perfect and Nashville Krav Maga looks like a good fit so far. The people are nice and understanding (I'm not your typical martial-arts buff, I don't really have the strength or endurance people who've been training longer have) and the instructors
