Self-Defense Fit Lab specializes is just pure Self-Defense! Our primary focus is on Krav Maga and Mastro Defence System. Both martial arts were developed just for self-defense. They are not a competition art nor do we have forms or katas to learn - just practical self-defense skills that we practice on a weekly basis so it becomes second nature.
Krav Kids is divided into age groups for ages 5 to 14 years old. It is a fun, encouraging alternative to traditional martial arts classes. Instead of forms and drills, we teach them tools and techniques tailored for situations that commonly confront kids at school, on the playground, and in life. In our classes, we stress four things: self-defense, fitness, confidence, and being a good citizen.

I searched for a martial arts training center for my son for quite awhile and am so happy we found Self Defense Fit Lab! Cliff, Chris and Hannah are so great with the kids, taking the time to explain the mechanics behind the different moves and why they are important. High expectations and positive reinforcement are woven throughout the training classes. The instructors have trained with the best of Krav Maga and it shows in the quality of teaching and character modeling. My son has been here for almost a year now and loves coming to classes and practicing his moves. I highly recommend Self Defense

I had created multiple scenarios in my mind as to why I kept putting off coming here for months. I did my research and narrowed down my search to this place. I am so glad that I did. I've been coming here for the past month and I am never let down by anyone here. Cliff has been an absolute treasure. He has been motivating and challenging in the best way possible. As a woman, I always avoided places that practice any form of martial art or specified skill because of the machismo culture but this place is far from it. I have felt comfortable and incredibly open to learning from the moment I

Taking self defense classes here with my teenage kids and we love it! Plus I’ll worry way less when they go off to college because they’ll be able to take care of themselves if anybody ever tries to hurt them. Cliff and Tia are great instructors and really know their stuff! We’re learning very practical and useful moves every week. Highly recommend the Krav Maga self defense classes to anyone!!

Joining Self Defense Fit Lab was one of the best decisions I have made in my lifetime...Cliff is a fantastic caring and compassionate instructor...From the moment you talk to him you can easily tell he deeply believes in and is totally devoted to the art he teaches...He has a pleasant personality as if he has never met a stranger, and treats everyone like a family member. His number one concern is the wellbeing and safety of his students...Self Defense Fit Lab has a natural family atmosphere, The instructors and students are totally dedicated and willing to help, encourage, and motivate each other

I wanted to learn something new and a friend suggested krav maga. Self Defense Fit Lab is very close to my home, so I decided to take them up on their offer to try a free class. That's all it took...I was hooked. I love that I am learning to defend myself, and that I am getting great exercise, but I really, really love the atmosphere. From the first moment, I was accepted and encouraged to be there. Cliff and his staff are the perfect blend of instructors in that they push you hard and teach you a lot, but they make it so fun too. You can feel the caring and concern, and you know that they have

All I have to say about this place is that; no one can do no wrong by signing up. This facility when it comes to Krav Maga class is excellent in every way; from the top notch instructor Cliff, the welcoming atmosphere and just all around great facility. Classes are fun, but challenging at times. Techniques learned are great, but the conditioning exercises can be challenging, but in a good way. Check this place out; it will be worth your time and money.

We took our 11 yr old daughter for a free trial Krav Maga Kids class last night. Itś been a true challenge to find something she connects with and enjoys physically. As a personal trainer myself, I see the negative effects of a sedentary body everyday. However, I also did not want to push her into team sports that she clearly did not enjoy. I had looked at several martial arts type programs for kids in Riverside but nothing felt like the right fit for her. I read Fit Labś website and really liked their message. The focus is on four things: self-defense, fitness, confidence, and being a good citizen
