It can seem nerve-racking to start such an intense training program like the ones taught here, but once you show up for your first class those feelings will immediately go away and you will be excited to keep coming back for more! TKM is more than just a training gym, it is also a community. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful and the diverse members are friendly, supportive and encouraging. People of any fitness level/age are able to succeed here. TKM is great for the body and mind! You will learn valuable self defense techniques while also getting in a great workout and leave each class feeling confident, positive, and accomplished. If you are serious about showing up and sticking with it, I highly recommend it to anyone.

What can I say. When I come regularly I just feel better mentally. It is so much more than self-defense. The cardio is great. They start every class asking about injuries. They are all about pushing you beyond what you think is possible but not at the expense of your well being. I highly recommend TKM.

You learn a lot as quick or as slow as you want or need to! and the teachers are amazing! Such a great experience for anyone!

Been with TKM for 3 months now and it is fantastic - the workout is fun and the team inspires and really pushes me to levels I would not achieve by myself. And did I mention its FUN? Overall the everyone that comes is very friendly and from varied backgrounds, young and old, male and female.... in addition to getting in my fitness I am also learning effective self defense! Lastly, the instructors are first class - really know how to motivate and pull you in......

I loved my first class and promptly signed a year contract. Unfortunately, I injured myself during my second class and when I contacted TKM about steps to put my account on hold (which they offer per their contract), I never got a response. I emailed and called them many times over the YEAR my contract was active, and NOT ONCE did anyone EVER respond to me.$175 drafted every month for a year, for ZERO service. Now that I am at the end of my contract and have followed proper procedure to terminate my renewal, I AM STILL TRAPPED IN THEIR CONTRACT. However, the one time my credit card didn’t go through I was contacted directly. I corrected the issue immediately and responded to let them know it was fixed and can we please discuss my contract? STILL NO RESPONSE. I’m over these guys. They clearly only want contract dollars and have no regard for their customers. Sign at your own risk.

They have a great atmosphere! It is very welcoming. The trainers are very helpful and they give alternatives if you can’t fully do something. They help build you up and help you to become a better you! 5 stars!

This place is awesome! The instructors are passionate about what they do and getting you prepared for real life situations. I once said “thanks” to an instructor sarcastically for my next set of pushups he gave me from shoulder tag. His reply was, “it is my job to make you stronger.” Since that day I realized how dedicated this entire team of instructors are at helping every member achieve the fitness goals they never thought they could achieve. The instructors are tough and dedicated and that is how we need them to be. This studio has given me more confidence in my abilities to protect my family than I have ever had. And, I am I t he best shape of my life at 42. Thank you guys and I can’t wait to get in there with you guys!!

Having recently relocated to this area, I was pleasantly surprised to discover not only that there was a Krav Maga studio nearby, but that it was a TOP RATED school with the MOST EXPERIENCED and HIGHLY SKILLED Kravists in the Triangle. Clean [IMMACULATE]. Instructors [PASSIONATE]. Motivated [DEDICATED]. There is no doubt as to why this is the #1 facility and period of instruction of its kind in the area.🤜🏾💯🤛🏻

I have been going to TKM for several months now, and as someone who has never been athletically gifted, let alone had any previous experience with self-defense or martial arts, I have to rate this studio 5 stars. The faculty are incredible... they will both encourage you and push you to do your best and to work your hardest. Each instructor is very good at teaching the moves and skills of Krav Maga, and everyone in the staff has the goal of teaching us how to defend ourselves and others in an effective and efficient manner. I have never done anything like this before, but I will certainly keep coming to these classes until I have gone through the entire program... which could take several years (but I wont complain about that).

True professionals and experts. They hold the highest standards in quality and safety. The classes are always full of people ranging from a wide range of backgrounds, mentalities, and beliefs- yet are able to come together to learn self defense techniques with reality in mind in an unbiased and safe environment. I would recommend this to any of my friends and family.

I was so, so nervous walking in to my first class. I pictured a room full of big men, each of them a full 12” taller than me, who we’re going to laugh at me before I made it through the front door. You know what they say about assumptions...Instead I found a crowd of genuinely friendly people of all shapes, sizes, and fitness levels. Once it got started, I had so much fun, and was so engaged in the class, that I didn’t even realize how hard I’d been exercising until class was over and I was dripping with sweat.I want to learn how to defend myself, and this is the place for me. The instructors are professional and they take their job seriously — but they also know how to make class fun. I can’t wait to go back!

Ive been a fan of TKM for several years. The training and knowledge they provide can make a huge difference in anyones life thats looking for a challenge. They challenge you both physically and mentally during the training sessions, pushing you to be a better version of yourself.

So I completed the 6 week challenge back in 2018. The classes were a great workout and I really enjoyed being part of a team again. Coach Erik was really motivating and very energetic in each class. But overall, the challenge was a ripoff. First of all, when I went to the initial meeting they made it seem as though it was the only chance that I would ever get to sign up. I didn’t have time to think about the decision and made a poor financial decision by signing up. Secondly, I was told I would get my money back if I lost a certain amount of body fat. I’m pretty sure no one met their goal or got their money back because it’s pretty impossible no matter how hard you work. Thirdly, the owners made it seem like they would be there every step of the way but I never saw them again after the first day. The meal plan was hardly tailored to the individual and was not what it was advertised. I also felt that they were unprofessional about a few things. There are plenty of other programs out there that aren’t trying to scam you.

Krav Maga is one of the best martial arts around the globe.Molotov is a man thats not only concerned with self defense but also the laws and politics involved with your God given rights.I highly recommend this school.

Want to be strong, confident, & prepared for anything, physically & mentally? This place has everything to help you be ready for anything life throws at you. No judgement for where you start, just encouragement to make the best of yourself and training on how to get there.

Very professional and clean facility. The owners and instructors are well trained and provide top notch customer service to their members. I highly recommend anyone in the area interested in training Krav Maga or martial arts to visit and see for yourself.

I know first hand that Molotov is top notch. I also appreciate anyone with the courage to do what’s right for their customers and their business. Thanks for displaying courage during this time Molotov and crew!

Its a good community of people with ownership and instructors that take an interest in their students. The level of instruction is quite high with step by step skill progressions. Additionally, the staff has done everything possible to provide online instruction and maintain community during the recent pandemic. It is a principal based organization that strives to do things the right way.

I have been with these guys for over a year. They aided in my health and well being. These guys (and Gals) are a great resource for good health and encouragement.

The quality of service and training/workout never disappoint. TKM has always responded to crisis in a way that best empowers the community, massively contributing to the health and safety of its patrons. Highly recommend. SF

I participated in the 6 week challenge a few weeks ago and would highly recommend this studio. The instructors were committed, the workouts were tough, and I got in phenomenal shape. The meal plan was easy enough to follow and the accountability is on point. Id recommend TKM to anyone that is serious about getting in shape!

I began with the 6 week challenge last fall and lost 24 lbs and got back into great cardio shape. (New lockdown pounds don’t count). It was the community that made the experience awesome, from the world class instructors to the motivating peers in the classes, I enjoyed every brutal, exhausting class. It truly is a community and I will be continuing my training as my schedule free back up.

I took a self defense class at TKM when it still had a branch in Cary. Female Age upper 50s at the time. It was fantastic, not just a great workout but also mentally empowering. Got the message that my best defensive weapon is my own mind and body.

LIFE CHANGING!! I signed up for the Six Week Challenge after debating gyms for years and trying to do everything on my own. I met Molotov and Greer at the consultation; they are hilarious and it was obvious that they are really invested in their students and helping people become their best self! It was so refreshing to actually meet owners who CARE about their students. The best part? I lost 28 pounds and got the 6 week challenge for free. BEST decision of my life. Thank you TKM!

My wife and I took the Six Week Challenge and loved it so much, we joined. Erik is the nicest coach I’ve ever met! Molotov is a beast! Try a class and find out why everyone loves this place :)

Finished my 6 week challenge on 9/30/18. Would like to think the entire team for a great experience. Workouts were hard and a lot of fun. Great motivation to get back into shape. Lots more energy and using 25.8 pounds is an added bonus. Highly recommend.

Wow, I cant say enough good things about this place. The staff is incredible with all skill levels, and the facility is so clean. I will be back!

Awesome place and people. If you want discipline, fitness, technique and amazing leadership and instruction this is the place. Hate I dont live closer I would be by everyday!! Great job!!!

Pretty crappy experience with this place. Online schedule says class goes till 8:00 so I showed up at 7:50 in hopes of catching the manager.I had a simple request: I wanted a one time 30 minute session with a heavy bag. Didnt need an instructors time, just needed something to hit tonight. I was happy to sign a waiver, happy to pay cash (up to $40) for the use of space post-class. Anyone whos been around a martial arts school knows they dont really close up till about an hour or so after their last class ends, and I didnt want to interfere with their classes.Class doesnt end at 8 like the schedule says, I sat in their lobby for about an hour till class ended at 8:45pm. At around 8:35pm one of the assistant instructors finally came to speak to me, I told him I simply wished to speak to the manager when she was done teaching.The manager (instructor) never even came and greeted me herself, but sent the young assistant (17-19 yr old) back and forth between me and her to find out what I wanted and return to tell me no but also request my contact info.....Im cool with the answer of no to my request, but to lack the simple basic respect of even being willing to greet and speak to someone who has sat in the lobby of your business for over an hour...... why the heck would I sign up for lessons when you cant even be bothered to talk to me?I genuinely feel bad for the poor kid she kept sending back and forth. I was polite as possible with him but he seemed terribly confused.From the 45 minutes in the lobby not being spoken to, to the manager not even being willing to greet and speak with me herself, the message I got was If youre not already paying us money, youre not worth our time to speak to

This place is like Cheers for ninjas. I became a member through the Lifestyle Membership from the 6 week challenge but now I take Krav classes more than anything. I love how everything makes sense and is easy to learn. The instructors also know how to push you to become the best version of yourself, but not in a drill sergeant kind of way. This may be a military fighting school but it’s no boot camp. One of the best investments I’ve made. 5 stars.

Dangerous and unhealthy training program that focuses on unrealistic weight loss instead of actual krav training. Be careful of signing anything. If there are any issues the management and owners will avoid dealing with it for as long as possible, assuming they deal with it at all. Finally, they decide theyre going to endanger public health and ignore the rule of law because they feel like they can. There are better places in the triangle to train.

Excellent people. Excellent atmosphere. I would go more often if I could!

Fun! Fun! FUN! Great classes. Always learning something new. No posturing or judging. Very welcoming to newcomers! I only wish they offered Sunday classes. Otherwise, no complaints.

I just wrapped up my 6 week 6% body fat reduction challenge and i had to say i thoroughly enjoyed the journey. Classes are great and coaches are really helpful. I love Eriks Cardio kickboxing class and Jasons Krav classes. If you are committed to your health, this place is an awesome place. Infact, it is more than a fitness class, its self defense. I would recommend to try the 6 week challenge here strongly. Whether you hit the goal or not, you will be happy that your body had transformed so much. BTW , I surpassed my goal and reduced my body fat by 7.3%. Such an amazing feel.

I took the 6 week challenge to jump start my fitness journey this year. It was an intense program with a strict meal plan but it was all worth it. In 6 weeks I lost 10.6 lbs and dropped 1 dress size down. I have more energy and endurance. Coach Erik is awesome, I enjoyed going to all the classes. The staff is easy to work with. It was a very positive experience.

I recommend Triangle Krav Maga if you want to get into better physical condition and be better prepared to defend your loved ones and yourself.

I joined as part of the 6 week challenge, and signed up for the year long membership. Thrilled with the investment in myself. Classes are very challenging. Instructors are fantastic and very encouraging. They constantly push you, but it is also self paced in that you do what you can. I’m also very impressed at how well the instructors can keep up with who everyone is. They know everybody’s name! I would absolutely recommend Triangle Krav Maga to anyone who is looking to better themselves physically while learning Krav Maga.

Having dealt closely with TKM, its founder Molotov, his staff, and his training AND been blessed to have an insight into what kind of person he is as a human being, I would not give TKM anything less than a 5-star review and I also would not trust a person that wouldnt do the same. TKM and its founder represent everything good in humanity and offer the absolute best training to help protect good people all over the world. You will not find a better Krav Maga training program anywhere. Period.

Awesome place. Local business that actually acts like it. Ignore the faux outrage from folk who have obviously never been here and would rather see small businesses wither away under suppression.

Fight back and build immunity, strength, and health in a positive environment focused on fitness, nutrition, and self-improvement. TKM is taking precautions in its opening like social distancing, outdoor exercise, loads of hand sanitizer, gloves, and touchless temp checks to provide a safer training environment. We stayed home until hospitals and governments were set up to respond. However, living life in fear and isolation arent great for your immune system and they are reopening responsibly.

Excellent, well run, and respectful company. Ive followed the owner online for many years and would enroll in their programs if I lived nearby!

TKM is a place for personal growth and a positive mindset! They teach fitness, control, technique, discipline, work ethics, perseverance, and self love, to mention a few! This place and the people inside it’s walls have changed me for the better! I will always support TKM! Kida!

I started the 6 week challenge in early October after years of not being fair to my body. Over the course of the next month and a half, I lost 11 lbs and 6.2% body fat. The program was challenging, but fun and immensely rewarding. After years of loathing going to the gym I found myself looking forward to my early morning workouts, dont worry you dont have to go in the mornings! I ditched my ceaseless snacking and got my diet on track. I can confidently say that I would not have been able to do this without the TKM program. The support of the community and coaches made each day of the 6 week challenge exciting and worthwhile. Not only did I meet my goals for getting into better shape, but I formed good habits that I know will keep me on track. Im incredibly grateful to Coach Erik for pushing me and the 6 week surge group for keeping me honest. I cannot recommend TKM enough.

The 6-week challenge is one of the best things Ive ever done for myself. The instructors are motivating and kind. I have been intimidated by gyms for a long time, but I feel totally comfortable here! Theyll work you hard, too!

I can’t say enough good things about TKM. From the atmosphere to the workouts, it’s a wonderful experience. If you want to push yourself physically and mentally, then this is the place for you.

This is just the sort of service needed in our 2020 world. Keep open, keep active, improve yourself, live life, strive high, stay safe! GO TKM!

Its awesome to see a true patriot stand up for all of our rights! You Rock Triangle Krav Maga!

I signed up for the 6 week challenge and had so much fun! The staff was helpful with concerns. I did not meet my goals unfortunately, but I can say I gained confidence and toned my body.Only thing I will say is a downfall is the free 6 weeks challenge isn’t free. It’s a lot of money up front or you can sign up for a year. If I hadn’t moved after the challenge, I most definitely would have sign up. The workouts are challenging at times, but I think that’s what makes it so fun!

Six week challenger here. My first class, I thought I was gonna throw up, no lie. But the workouts get easier as you get STRONGER! By the end of the challenge I had lost so much weight, I had to buy new clothes. If you want to TRANSFORM, this is the place!

What can I say...This place is amazing! This staff is amazing! The regular participants that come to the classes are amazing! It is an amazing atmosphere full of encouragement to overcome obstacles and finish.I am a former long distance runner. I have run several marathons and more half marathons. About a three and half years ago, I developed Plantar Fasciitis in both feet. After a year or more of treatment, it did not drastically improve. I became depressed as my running family was able to continue to run and enjoy it, while I limped through the miles feeling pain every step. About a year ago, I had to drastically reduce and eventually stop my running. I felt alone and depressed. I could not run, did not want to workout, and kept my diet the same as if I were running 30-40+ miles a week. Needless to say, I put on 40+ pounds in the past year and felt horrible about myself.Recently, I became committed to bettering myself. I found the 6 week challenge and went to the meeting. It became clear the challenge was not going to be easy. I decided my WANT TO to change was great enough to bet on myself. With the staffs help, attending 3 classes a week and the organized diet plan, I set out to better myself. I realized after the first week...the plan works. The next 5 weeks were hard, but doable. I even found out that I could run again for 30 minutes with no pain in my feet. The classes were SSSOOO MUCH FUN!!! They were interesting and challenging. I sweat a lot and felt so good about myself when I finished the class. The schedule of the classes were conducive to my schedule and easy to attend.Needless to say, at the end of the 6 weeks I lost 25+ pounds. I got myself back. My clothes started to fit again!To those who think it is too hard. I did it at the most challenging time of year for me. I did the challenge over Thanksgiving and the first half of December! If I can do it during this time of year, then I can promise it is not TOO hard.I am so grateful to Triangle Krav Maga for the opportunity and help to find my confidence again. It was through their program, their community, and their belief in me that provided me the focus and energy to successfully complete the 6 week challenge!If you are considering it....DO IT!!! You will not regret it!Thank you Triangle Krav Maga for everything!!!

Kick @$$ place, professional trainers, so thankful they are open and providing such a great service to the community!

TKM is amazing! I came here for the Six Week Challenge which was great (I lost 22 lbs). But I’ve stayed on to take Krav. Friendly people, talented coaches, lots of class times. Best decision in years!

Love an establishment that values freedom over fear. When I find myself in the Triangle area, you can bet I will make a visit.

Just finished my 6-week Challenge! At first I didn’t think I could do it but Coach Erik is so encouraging (everyone is really). I’m 47 used to play football, but time and work set my fitness back aways. But this program turned back the clock! Today I’m 22 pounds lighter, I can do push-ups again and I feel good when I sleep. Molotov, Coach Erik and Team are gifted instructors. So glad I joined!

Took their six week challenge and so glad I did. I didn’t hit my goal but lost nineteen lb. and made some great friends. Highly recommended. PS Bring a towel. You gonna sweat lol

One of Durham’s greatest finds! The training is hard but it’s also fun! It never got too serious or macho macho. Took my gf there. A great first date!

Be careful and know exactly what you are agreeing to when you get that credit card out! They will enroll you as a monthly member and charge you $50/month whether or not you are aware of it. Finally caught it in June of 2018, but not before I was charged hundreds though I hadnt attended in a year. Only recourse is small claims court.

Had a great time at my first class. Alex, despite being relatively young, ran a great class. He was confident, helpful, and gave easy to follow instructions. Great anaerobic intensity from a workout standpoint.I can tell Im going to enjoy Krav Maga in general because of its practicality, real-world (as opposed to tournament) application, and sheer physicality. No kid-stuff here. Alex had us learning techniques within the first half-hour, including simple choke defenses and emotional on/off switch exercises.The facility is nice, despite smelling like a well-used locker room after the class. The 16-20 of us in the room worked up a pretty good sweat, collectively. As a martial arts noob, I also appreciated the congenial and encouraging atmosphere. The more experienced students are friendly and eager to sub-coach you through the techniques.Price seemed a little steep at first, but thats just compared to your run-of-the-mill gym membership. Its pretty competitive when I put it up against other martial arts gyms, LA boxing, etc.Bottom line... Im getting an annual membership.

Fun and informative as always. Great class, great folks. Love what theyre teaching. Wish more classes & seminars were offered on Sundays instead of Saturdays though, as we often have much more time flexibility and less competing event conflicts on Sundays.

It’s tough to be a fight school and a hangout for cool people but tkm figured out how to do both. Easily the best program I’ve come across. Check it out.

Local business worth supporting and a grand defense martial art the Krav Maga קְרַב מַגָּע

All of the instructors from Molotov to DC to Jamie (and everyone else in the TKM staff) is amazing and were so lucky to have them in our backyard. The skills they teach you are ingrained quickly and well polished, and you learn so much from them and something new to work on and improve on every time. Its an amazing all around work out and a really good time, all while learning practical and lifesaving skills. I could not recommend anything more highly. Love you guys!

I wish I could give more than five stars! TKM has become much more than just a gym for me. It’s my second home! Some of the world’s biggest badasses here and surprise!! They’re actually friendly and always seem happy to see me. An incredible business.

Took the Gun Certification workshop with Molotov. Class was informative as I was unfamiliar with NC state firearm laws and property rights. Served as a good way to reinforce what I did know and expand upon it. Molotov and his team were able to take people who were insecure with a firearm and make them comfortable with carrying. He also taught them how to maintain control of their weapon during struggle. They took their job seriously and had fun while doing it. Great experience!!!

Is a decent workout, and most of the people that this type of environment attracts are good people. I enjoyed working with erik. Despite being excessively positive I enjoyed his variability to conditioning greatly.

The place you come to fellowship with people who are serious about self defense. You find yourself immersed in a friendly, safe, environment where you learn life saving skills and meet interesting people of like mind. The staff are family. The instruction is without equal. The opportunities you are presented with, the imagination of the instructors, you will leave feeling like you accomplished something special for yourself. If youve never experienced a self defense class this is where you want to come. If you have taken Krav before youve not experienced it like this.

Today, I successfully completed the 6 week challenge at Triangle Krav Maga (TKM)! The goal was to lose 6% body fat over the six weeks through TKMs super awesome classes (Krav Maga, kickboxing, etc), well-guided diet, and accountability community it fostered. I started the program at 177lb at 26% body fat, and today I measured 156lb at 16% body fat (21lb and 10% body fat loss)!! Special thanks to Erik Anthony Carlos II for his awesome energy and guidance to help me to succeed! Check out TKM!!

I cannot recommend TKM enough! I did the 6 week challenge and I lost 6.4% body fat and 16 pounds! The workouts are so intense and pushed me more than any workout I could ever do on my own. Coach Erik really helped encourage me to be a better version of myself each and every class. The friends and community at TKM bring an unparalleled amount of enthusiasm and support to every class. I would 10/10 recommend to any person, regardless of your level of fitness!

I had trouble getting in touch at first to schedule classes, but Ive been to the level one class and cardio kickboxing and my experience has been great. The instructors are friendly and helpful and ensure that the atmosphere is welcoming for all skill levels. Will definitely keep going!

I support all businesses that support the Bill of Rights. Thank you Triangle Krav Maga for re-opening despite the unconstitutional shut down.

I recI recently took part [and succeeded!!] in the 6-week challenge offered by Triangle Krav Maga (TKM). The challenge itself is comprised of 18 classes (3/week) as well as a nutritional plan and an accountability coach to ensure you reach your goal of 25 lbs (or 6% BMI). Ill go into more details below for anyone who needs more convincing, but if youre just interested in the highlights I ended up losing 27.0 lbs and ~2 in. around my waist during the challenge. I feel so much better about myself, while also learning some valuable lifestyle tools in order to keep the weight off after the challenge. I would highly highly highly recommend anyone who is ready for a drastic change in his or her health to give the challenge a try and join TKM.My backstory:Im a 25 year old male and sports have always been a big part of my life, and would consider myself to be athletic even with all the extra weight I was carrying. However, I knew I wanted/needed a change. I had contemplated doing a similar challenge at a different gym the year prior, but ultimately declined due to hesitations on my end. I very much had the attitude of Ill just lose the weight myself. Well that year came and went, and like many frustrated wannabee dieters, I proceeded to gain more weight. I was frustrated with not seeing any results through efforts of my own and was ready to try something new .This year I was looking for a similar challenge, and found just that at TKM. If youre like me, Im able to push myself much more in a group environment while being coached then the typical jog around the neighborhood, and that’s exactly what TKM gave me.The workouts:Although TKM offers several types of fitness classes, I stuck to the higher intensity kickboxing classes in order to sweat as much as possible. The classes are 45 minutes long and consist various combat sequences mixed in with typical cardio and bodyweight exercises. While intense, the trainer [I had Erik who is also the accountability coach for the challenge for every class but maybe 2 and he is beyond awesome] keeps you highly motivated and the time really does fly by. I never once dreaded going into the workout because I knew how good Id feel when I was finished.The diet:Im sure everyone that participates in the challenge would agree that the diet is the hardest part. Prior to the challenge, I would eat healthy-ish during the week, only to fill my weekends with takeout and alcohol, not exactly a recipe for success. Although tough, once you find your routine and the foods that you still like and are easily prepared, it gets much much easier. Meal prepping is huge so you dont have to stress about if your next meal is okay or not.The results:As stated above, I ended up losing 27.0 lbs. and ~2 in. around my waist over the course of the 6 weeks. (TKM please feel free to insert my After pictures to post.) Nothing worthwhile is ever given, so while the challenge was tough seeing the scale at the end was an incredible feeling. Going into the final weigh in I knew I was happy that I took part in the challenge regardless of the outcome. Winning was just the cherry on top!Returning to normalcy:My challenge ended right before thanksgiving, so naturally I enjoyed the holiday to the fullest and gained a couple pounds back. Since then however, I have maintained the current weight, and have just started another push in an effort to lose about 10 more. The challenge gave me the kick-start I craved to feel confident in my workouts again. Im able to push myself on my runs, able to do multiple sets of bodyweight cycles, while also able to not stress on days when I cant work out (which is huge for me). Although I have returned to enjoying beer and pizza and normal life vices on occasion, I have done a much better job of balancing these out with healthy meals and habits developed during the challenge. Ill reiterate once more how happy I am to have completed this challenge with TKM, and I would recommend anyone to try out the services they provide.P.S. Erik was beyond awesome throughout the 6 weeks!!

I took the Concealed Carry class at the Cary location with Abraham. Overall it was a really good experience. The class was informative and much more interesting than I expected it to be. Also, compared to friends classes at different places Abraham taught us a lot more about the proper operation and maintenance of firearms, I think much of the class already knew this but almost everyone seemed to learn at least one new thing. My only complaint was the range portion, but it was out of the instructors control. Due to lots of rain before the class the range was very muddy, which forced the targets to be placed very close together. We shot in groups, 5 across, and I had never shot with other shooters that close to me before. With brass flying and the obvious noise from 4 other shooters standing shoulder to shoulder it was an uncomfortable experience and I didnt shoot as well as I usually do. I still passed so no real complaints, but it was nerve wracking to be that close to other shooters. Additionally, there were no tables/benches or anywhere to set your case/extra ammo/etc. Those of us who brought our own guns just had to set our cases in the mud and crouch down to reload as necessary. The range instructors, however, were very helpful. Lastly, I think the range portion could have been handled more efficiently. Several people who rented guns (and had never shot before) were not shown how to load/handle the firearm until they were on the line with other shooters ready to go. The range instructors took their time and were very patient helping them load, etc., however, it meant those of us with our own guns were loaded and ready to go but had to stand there for a while waiting. Overall, I would recommend TKM to others looking to take a concealed carry class.

This is the real deal@... Do not let yourself be swayed by cheap imititations.

Great program - Intense and well worth it but also friendly and easy to work with. It is hard to do both well but they pull it off. Best program I have taken.

I just completed my second 6-week cycle of TKMs Forever Fit Challenge! I’m 54, and a lifelong competitive athlete (equestrian). This program transformed me in ways that I really never thought possible. I am lighter, leaner, stronger, quicker, more powerful, and more aware. Molotov Mitchell and his instructors are truly gifted athletes and leaders, and many times they pushed me past my comfort zone in order to show me just how far my mind and body can take me. I would give TKM 10 stars if I could!

How can eight hours of classroom instruction for a Concealed Carry Permit be fun? Honestly, I was dreading it a little. Eight. Hours. But Abraham Thornton at Triangle Krav Maga KILLED it! This course was fun, and more importantly, it was thorough! I highly recommend TKM for firearms instruction!

I successfully completed a six week challenge at TKM. It was challenging in all the right ways and every person that I interacted with was kind, helpful, and super supportive. If you are willing to put in the work and hold yourself accountable you will see results. I sure did!

Finished up a 6-week challenge here, and it was... eye-opening.I joined up just looking for a place to work out and learn Krav, but what I got was a lot more.I ended up losing 13.2 Lbs, 9.2% body fat, and 3 inches on my waist all good things, but the main thing that blew me away is my overall health has improved.Several years ago, I got a FitBit to track my overall health, and it was fine, or so I thought. My resting heart rate was around 65-67, bpm on average. During this challenge, my heart rate has dramatically reduced from a high of 67 bpm to 52 bpm.I know I feel healthier and look better, but the data I have also shows it. I will definitely be continuing at TKM for the foreseeable future! Big thanks to the TKM family!

Took a Concealed Carry Handgun Permit class with Molotov and Abraham. It was great!It covered everything thats needed to carry with confidence. We learned about handling the firearm, drawing from a holster and all the ins-and-outs of how the law relates to concealed-carry.They also spruced it up with humor and injected stories here-and-there which was great for making it interesting & keeping everyone awake and involved since its a fairly long course.

Great group of people with an awesome and healthy mindset!

I had a great experience with Triangle Krav Maga where I took my class to qualify for a concealed carry permit. The classes were informative and very professional. The instructors were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it.

I took the CCH class with Abraham instructing at the Cary location. Abraham was engaging, very approachable and terrific at loosening up our diverse group right away. There was a lot of good back-and-forth. As a kind of bonus we got a number of tips on marksmanship, firearms safety and maintaining our firearms, things that might be considered out-of-scope for a class like this but which were particularly valuable to me. As it turned out, I failed the shooting part of the class but I still give it five stars and my highest recommendation. The fault wasn’t in the class, it was in the student (that would be me). On the plus side, the marksmanship discussion told me what I have been doing wrong, so this was by no means a waste of time. Now I know what to work on, and I’ll be back to try again.

This is a place that transforms you mentally and physically in the most simplistic way. I am lucky enough to know that Jaimie, Molotov and DC got my back and if not everyday they make sure I have got my own. And the sense of community this place exudes is honestly humbling. Highly recommend everybody to try it once. I bet its not easy not to come back.

Best place to train in Durham! Krav Maga, fitness and community all in one. Love these guys!

I started coming to TKM for the 6-Week Challenge and chose the lifestyle membership option. It really kickstarted my re-prioritizing health and fitness after finishing an evening masters program! In the 6-week challenge I lost 12% body fat! I had very little muscle going in, and could barely do 2 push-ups. By the end, I had the core and arms I had been missing since falling into a sedentary lifestyle. Now, I maintain my fitness level with a mix of workouts - based around my busy schedule. The Cardio Kickboxing classes are a must! Its fun and tough!

TKM is now on my regular schedule. The instructors are great and pay a lot of attention to proper techniques and development of awareness and skills. The classes provide intense work out and are never boring.

As a student since 2016 and current instructor (2017), words alone cant express how much I love this place. Coming from a martial arts background (which Krav Maga is not), Ive never felt more empowered than I did when I took my first Krav Maga class at this studio. With world class instructors full of charisma and enthusiasm, a family-dynamic and safe environment full of the strongest, and most dedicated individuals on North Carolinian soil, Triangle Krav Maga is a haven for everyone willing to put forth the effort to evolve from average to savage. No matter who you are, if you are serious about fitness, self-defense and survival then TKM is the place to be. Hands down. #KIDA!

This is the best Krav Maga in the Triangle and surrounding area. Great place to learn self defense and get in shape. The staff is awesome too!

Starting the six week challenge with TKM I had no clue to what I was getting myself into, but I am soooo glad that I did. The program that they provided, the workouts, meal plans and support WORKS! Trust yourself and TRUST THE PROCESS and you will have amazing results. Everyone was friendly and highly motivated.

Great place full of amazing people.

Have been a member since May 2018 and have had an awesome experience. The staff are all wonderful, (Jason and Erik are by and far the most awesome and supportive instructors anyone could ask for ) and great at what they do. They really push you hard and the classes are not easy or for the faint of heart. If your looking for a great workout and learning krav maga I would highly recommend TKM.

Best place in the triangle to learn self defense and get in great shape. The instructors are wonderful and it is so much fun.

One helluva program..Hardcore but also friendly and professional. I had to move, unfortunately and they let me out of my contract, no problems. Wish I could have stayed! Kida!

Took the concealed carry class here. It was awesome. Instructor was very knowledgeable and made the class a lot of fun. Id highly recommend it to anyone.

This is a great school actually. Ive gone several times over the last couple years. Now, at first when you go you can be a little overwhelmed because of the intensity --I mean these people here are really learning how to *kick butt* lololol-- but the regulars arent snobby about it. Everyone takes their turn practicing with the *newbie* and there is no frustration or fuss about it. They are even encouraging. I like that. I chose this style over a traditional *martial art* or kickboxing because I really just wanted a no frills Im somehow in this dark alley and three men are trying to kidnap me for sex-trafficking lol. I dont have time for Hi-yahs and breathing exercises, I need to know how to break one arm or leg per attacker, enough for me to get the heck out of there! So yes, this is that type of school. You learn to do damage! NOT TO WALK AROUND AND BE A BULLY BUT TO DEFEND YOUR FAMILY.Now, this is personally how this school and Molotov (the instructor) have helped me. Two months ago, I travelled as a single woman to whats considered the middle east. I didnt know early on I was going but w/in 3 weeks, a huge opportunity for THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK I could do with my life/career/etc presented itself. My family was frantic, nobody wanted me to go but the opportunity called. A couple of days before leaving I sent Molotov a message, thanking him for what I had learned. Now, I didnt know if Id be coming back. Seriously, it was that crazy. But I prayed and knew that Jesus was going with me lololol. I dont know if anyone is ever truly prepared for the dark alley lol but I knew that I hag learned enough to be prepared to do damage!Signing off with something Molotov would say:Vigorously defending myself,Danielle

I was taking classes at another Krav School in Wake Forest when a friend dragged me to a class at TKM. Whoa, what a difference. I don’t want to say anything bad about my old school so I won’t mention them, but TKM was so great I canceled with them and joined that week. The staff are phenomenal athletes, the head instructor was trained in Israel. It shows. Too legit to quit. If you’re looking for real deal Krav Maga, give TKM a try.

All the instructors and participants were very kind, patient and had a great sense of humor. The drive to the shooting range was quite a hike, and a tad confusing to find, but the main instructor provided clear instructions and also gave us his cell in the event any of us were to get lost. I would recommend providing a shuttle for the customers, to keep us all together and prevent us from getting lost. When we got there, the method of paying via the other instructors cell phone went down, and we were left standing in the hot sun for a while, so the head instructor went ahead and let us start shooting, and trusted that we would pay after the class. Even though there were couple of mishaps, I would totally recommend TKM to anyone!

If I could give NO STARS I would!!!! I am not going to say much online because they have asked I take them to court instead of them just refunding the money that is rightfully owed to me. Their contract states if you are injured while enrolled in their 6 week challenge and provide a doctors note stating you can not continue in the program because of injury that you will receive half of your $500.00 deposit back. I started July 24, 2018 and I still have not received a dime. They have refused to communicate through Facebook and blocked me on their company page and the owners wifes page, they wont return emails, voicemails and when I went in person they called the police and had me trespassed. It is ridiculous that I have to even go through this but I am not backing down!!! I am entitled to my partial refund and I will get it!! After everything is resolved I will provide the full story with all documentation to the public so they can make their own informed decision about this company and their programs! Not only do I have my contract, proof of payment, all the FB messages promising me my money back, emails sent with no response but now I have the video of them refusing to pay me my money because I have an attitude and am difficult to talk to!!!!UPDATE 2/6/19- Just spoke with owner, Mr. Mitchell was offered my refund check and to be let out of the contract that they dont have to IF AND ONLY IF I put in writing that I will not only remove my Google post and BBB complaint but I must agree to NEVER say anything in the future that could harm their business. I must remove the post BEFORE payment. If I agree to their new, additional terms, then they will full-fill their contractual obligations and refund me the money they owe. First you would not be letting me out of a contract, when your contract states you will refund half the deposit after a Dr note is provided stating you cant continue in the program. That is YOUR terms in the contract not a favor you are doing me! Second, I should not be silenced and not allowed to share my story and experience. I am sorry if it is negatively affecting your business but that is NOT my fault. EVERYTHING I have said is completely factual and can be backed up 100% with text messages, emails, etc. I have NEVER said anything false or untrue. Yes, the facts may not be what you want people to know but the fact is that is exactly what reviews are for! If you didnt want it to come to this then maybe you should have just sent me my money, replied to an email, the BBB complaint or handled our personal interaction differently. The negative affects are caused by your companies choices to ignore your obligation. Till next time....

Awesome workout! Awesomer people!! The culture here is very friendly and challenging at the same time. The only drawback is that there aren’t showers but that’s how it is at CrossFit, so nbd

I started working with TKM through the 6-week challenge. The journey was long and hard but I am happy to say with the great support for the TKM coaches and commitment to a nutrition plan, I was able to lose 22.4 Lbs in only 6 weeks! Coach Erik is awesome and the classes are truly fun, interesting and effective! I was able to lose weight, make friends and gain confidence. I would highly recommend TKM if you are looking for something new in your workout routine to keep you motivated and engaged!
