Services
Krav Maga Capitol Hill, a licensee of Krav Maga Worldwide under the Krav Maga Maryland umbrella, was founded in 2016. We have designed our programs and facilities with one person in mind - the student. Our instructors are nationally certified and evaluated on a continual basis. Our training methods, and curriculum are constantly improved to ensure that you receive the best training available.
These seminars are open to people of all experience levels, ages 16+. We will be covering realistic scenarios unique to multiple attacker and 3rd party defender situations and the specialized training that comes with being prepared for any kind of threat. Below is more information on each seminar, which you have the option of attending just one or both, with a lunch break in between.
We are committed to offering the safest training experience possible! We have implemented increased cleaning procedures and social distancing measures so you can feel comfortable in all of our classes. All of our safety protocols (masks, temperature taking, sanitizing equipment, etc. are still being rigorously enforced!).
Krav Maga is not your traditional martial art. Developed in the 1930s by a wrestler & boxer named Imi Lichtenfeld, Krav Maga was originally taught to Eastern European Jews defending themselves against fascist regimes at the time. Lichtenfeld later moved to Israel, where he taught Krav Maga to military forces that later became the IDF.
All parents want the same things for their children - to be safe, happy, healthy, and successful in life. Help your child reach all of those goals with the leader in fitness and self-defense education for kids - Krav Maga Capitol Hill! Our comprehensive Kids Krav Maga Program, for children ages 7-14, is unparalleled in its approach to kid-specialized fitness and self-defense training.

You'll get a good workout, but poorly trained instructors, varying and changing schedules, and questionable business practices make it impossible to recommend.
(Caveat: it's been a while since I trained here. I bit my tongue because I'd left open the possibility I'd go back but after self-reflection, and letting my brain overturn my ego, decided I had to speak out, and that it wasn't safe for me to come back.)
I've done martial arts before and hold a black belt. I've also trained in Muay Thai and boxing. Krav has a different approach in that it wants to get

This gym is amazing. For anyone familiar with Krav, the gym does a great job of combining technique and aerobic training. For anyone new to Krav, it’s a fantastic way to build on any fitness training you do and learn self defense. I’ve done all different types of workout classes for years, and this has taken my fitness to a different level. Plus the community is very welcoming! Highly recommend.

Classes were great, I moved so it was no longer possible for me to attend. Here is the cancellation process:
1. Submit written notice of intent to cancel by mail to their headquarters.
2. Receive an email directing you to the secret login information required to access the cancellation forms of the website
3. Document you have a disability or have reached the end of your contract
4. Print, sign, and email that document back to them - noting that every time you email them their automatic bounce back is "We are currently experiencing a high volume of messages, and we appreciate your patience

Long long ago, in a land far from DC I watched the movie Enough with Jennifer Lopez and thought "that fighting style looks practical". Then, I forgot about it. Fast forward, and lucky for me, there is a Krav Maga gym attached to my regular gym. I took a free class and became hooked! Sure, I want to throw up in every class, leave with some striking bruises, and sore all over but I keep coming back because it's useful and a really great workout.
I also love that some of the instructors are bad a$$ women!

Good instructors & instruction, great location for those that live nearby, nice co-located facility with other gym which allows for showers, etc. The owner/manager is super responsive and has great ownership and devotion. Nice mix of military/LE personnel and civilians for full gamut of experience, in both students and instructors. And growing classes. While there is always something one can nitpick and improve upon, I've been very happy with signing up. Krav is supposed to be a street defense system, based on what works. I've done years of BJJ and kickboxing, and other self defense

A $1068 dollar mistake. I signed up for Krav the night of my first class and I was so excited. After my 4th class I decided it wasn't for me. I've spent the last 7 months trying to get out of the contract. It's impossible, even after I had septum surgery and sent a doctor's explanation and request. Non responsive emails, calls telling you to send an email. A website that won't allow you to submit cancelation requests. Now an offer to cancel but the cancellation fee is more than the remainder of the contract. Just a circle of stress, while they keep charging monthly.

Inviting, encouraging and uplifting. You wouldn't think that would describe learning what amounts to street fighting but that's what it's like at Krav Maga Capitol Hill. The instructors are very knowledgeable and even more experienced students are eager to help newbs like me, but the instructors make sure everyone is on the same page and treat everyone equally throughout the class. No meatheads and no judgment. The instructors are willing to take the time to slow down and walk through every move. And they always let you know, it's not a matter of perfection; it's a matter

Krav Maga Capitol Hill has a host on very knowledgeable and patient instructors. They review and go over the techniques to ensure the students understand the immediate danger and how to address it. Instructors are always on time and even if I live in VA. I will not switch schools. If you want to be able to defend yourself and develop your fitness. Krav Maga Capitol Heights is the place for you. I am a student and gain no benefit from the review. My only satisfaction is having you Develop the confidence from the expert instructions that are taught.
