From the reviews

I needed to lose weight and build strength, but knew I needed more than a self-service, repetitive and mundane environment. I came into Alpha on the 3 day trial and knew I was in the right spot. I signed up for the adult, 2x a week Krav classes.

★★★★★ — Rob, Mar 2019

My daughter tried multiple sports and couldn't quite get settled but she loves doing her karate with these guys. Isaiah is great with the kids, and the program in general is organized and professional. They teach actual real life defensive moves and methods and not just board breaking.

★★★★☆ — Matt, Aug 2021

Krav Maga is great system to learn if you are interested in defending yourself and those you love. Strip down the art and get to the basics of strikes, grappling and 360 defense.

★★★★★ — Garrett, Dec 2016

LOVE training with Coach Joe and his team! Krav not only gives me confidence but is also a great workout! Highly recommend this studio!

★★★★★ — Samantha, Aug 2017

Your first taekwondo class at Next Level Krav Maga Gilbert, Kickboxing, Taekwondo, Kids Karate, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Self Defense

Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
