Ive been a fan of the K.O Bag Fitness class since 2011. The master put in a lot of effort to change up the routine. So each class is different and Ive never get bored of doing the same class. Its a great place to burn calories and de-stress. Be ready to have fun. Great master, friendly students and effective work-out. Highly-recommended.

I joined K.O Bag fitness at this location and I cant thank enough for support I have been getting from instructor Eni. Classes are always fun, challenging and a tremendous help to my health.Im looking forward for every class, I enjoy it every bit!

I would absolutely highly recommend this class to anyone whos looking to add variety to their workouts but also learn highly practical self defense techniques. The Krav Maga class is very welcoming to all levels and their instructors are highly skilled. I started about 5-6 months ago as a beginner with absolutely no experience or training and Ive been able to learn very practical techniques and its all attributed to an easy and fun, yet, very relevant learning experience!

Ive followed YMA for 8 years now and have been pleased the entire time. The master is knowledgeable, attentive to detail, and enthusiastic about your growth as a student. When you display good technique, its identified. When you make a mistake, its called out so you can correct it and get better. There is no room for error in self defense of a live or death situation and the master practices this philosophy. It is much appreciate.Come try it out and learn for yourself!

I joined this amazing workout program in July of this year and cannot describe how satisfied and overexcited I am for finally finding something that fits my needs. I was very nervous to start Krav Maga classes due to having no prior experience in martial arts. Instructors made me feel welcomed and are there to help each and everyone of us to succeed. I absolutely love the variety of workout experiences that instructors provide. Members are friendly and are all very concerned about making it a positive experience and pleasant work out for everyone. There are people who have been members there for years and some that recently joined, which made me feel very comfortable knowing that I am not the only one with no prior experience of this sort. Since starting the program, I have been attending almost every class that was on schedule and feel unsatisfied if for some reason I have to miss the class. I feel like I have learned so much and cannot thank enough great and attentive instructors!Great place!Great people!Great workout!

Like Craig, I wish I can give this place a negative star. Dont be fooled by other reviewers who give this place a lot of stars. Thats because they either work here or have some sort of incentives.I bought a groupon to try a new workout. I was so disappointed with the poor service and the unwillingness of the person I spoke on the phone, And after reading several bad reviews about this place, I agree It was an annoying experience.

Ive been studying here for the past three years after purchasing a trial session from Groupon. The instructors are highly trained and dedicated which shows. The krav maga classes are intense but really enjoyable. They help you do the best you can from your current level of fitness and experience, so its really open to anyone who is interested in learning real world, practical self defense. Ive definitely learned a great deal about self defense and situational awareness, which is sadly necessary these days. You can also take the KO bag work out, which uses interval training to maximize your work out and since they constantly change it up, youre never bored. The people here are great and they push each other to reach the same goals. Its a welcoming and inclusive environment. I recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about solid self defense while getting a solid workout in at the same time.

Its been almost 4 yeas since my son started training at YMA Taekwondo & Krav Maga at age of 4 1/2 . Master is enthusiastic about working with kids on technic and forms and also physical condition. My son loves atmosphere in the gym and we never have to force him to go for training. Serious gym if you expect results - not a playground. Try it- you wont be disappointed.

(Craig V. Michelle D. Alex Duncan Paul P. )False statements, false reviews.The reviews from this unknown names seems to be a personal issue against someone rather then a fair customer review. The original version of Michele D review for example has been found in Texas KM review page and is a copy and paste review from one of their customers Patricia W.All the 1 star reviews are fake reviews and are all related to each other. For the past 2 yrs YMA have been stalked by this individuals (individual we believe is only 1 person that has the patience and ability to create so many fake google accounts to post reviews) under different names every 2 months then delete/repost. And they have been stalking our Yelp page as well.YMA provides a high level of teaching in clean and friendly environment. All classes are highly recommended. Real customers have only positive feed back because YMA provides outstanding classes ( fun, challenging, very effective physically and self defense wise).

To Alex, Craig, and Michelle – we are all posting reviews because we are the students – Surprised? Don’t be – there are a lot of us ;) Stop by and meet us – check out the pictures ahead of time and we will be able to show you who we are. We noticed there were some weird (fake) reviews and as students we feel obligated to say what we think about the school we attend to every .. single .. week.We have full respect for our instructors who are absolutely amazing and very technical teachers. If you would take a class or two then you would see that you get personal attention when a new move or a skill is introduced. The instructor works with you until you get it right and you get to practice with other students. We work in groups or pairs within the same level and practice moves, first for technicality and then for speed. Anyone who has questions can flag one of the instructors to ask away. I have never been left with a question unanswered or not knowing how to do something. (PS. I always have lots of questions and the instructors are more than happy to answer them)I can see how you may not like this type of class because it might be too much for you. When I first joined I had similar thoughts – Can I do this? Can I keep up? I even thought about quitting but didn’t want to be a quitter so I decided to finish up my Groupon. By the end of my Groupon I was completely hooked! So, if you don’t like being pushed outside of your comfort zone to learn something – this definitely isn’t for you. But in that case none of the Krav Maga schools would be for you and there is no reason to blame the facility.Come check it out for yourself. You can just come and watch us for free. Hope to see you there! Oh and there is no incentive for us .. haha. Well, maybe one - we dont want the school to close because we love it here ;)

Ive been to many fitness and MMA training gyms and facilities, even have a background in Muay Thai and YMA Krav Maga is top notch. I began training after my 1st introduction class back in 2012 and was immediately hooked. Its a family here that cares not only in teaching you 5-star KM self defense & fighting techniques but this is a rare facility that you grow with through your rankings. They teach a broad range of classes from the very basics to higher level weapons defense. Their core strength and conditioning classes are intense as well. And they even have self defense for younger ages. If youre male or female, interested in learning top self defense techniques, growing with an elite and caring family, and being the best version of you so that you can protect yourself and others you need to be here.
