If you are looking for an opportunity to learn self defense than look no further. Juan the head instructor/owner will teach you how to deal with everyday situations, real life situations. If your looking to show off or be fancy than this isnt the place for you. Now if your looking to seriously learn how to defend yourself in the most practical manner, then your in the right place. Ive been training at Elite Combatives for about a year and a half. Ive met some of the most awesome people that walk this earth. Everybody that trains there pushes each other to be better, youll come to train and add many new friends to your list. Juan offers a free first class, yes its free no gimmicks, he also wont lock you down on a contract. You pay up front month to month. He also provides optional training courses like firearms, trauma courses and more for a separate fee. Almost forgot the best part, he holds morning and evening classes so it will be easier to work with your home and work schedule, you dont have to train everyday. Two to three times a week will be enough.

I rarely rate local businesses, but Juan at Elite Combatives is phenomenal. His skill level is unmatched and his teaching abilities are unbelievable! His high intelligence shines through when he helps learners understand the “why” in all of the skills they are learning. I could not be happier learning with him and highly recommend his facility!!

No theoretical rubbish here, just practical training for real life scenarios. I have been training here for over a year and the instructors are great. While the training by definition has to be stressful at times, the instructors deliver the training in a comfortable and safe environment - especially for beginners and kids...my 10 yr old and 7 yr old have also been doing the Krav for Kids class and they love it. The instructors make the classes fun for the kids to the point the kids dont even realize they are actually training hard, staying fit, and learning discipline and essential self defense skills.

Juan is an awesome instructor and coach. He pushes you but recognizes that everyone is at a different level of fitness and helps you to set just the right pace. Every class if very comfortable and never threatening. Juan is also really good at fostering teamwork where everyone helps everyone else. I have been attending classes for a few weeks and can already see a marked improvement in my overall fitness level. I highly recommend Elite Combatives and Juan for anyone that wants to improve their fitness, learn self-defense or both. He is an expert and a really nice guy.

Elite Combatives has been a great way to build my confidence and help me be more prepared for anything. Juan helps you to work the details, so you know what to do and how to do it. Cant wait for my next class.

Took the SHE is Strong course and highly recommend it. We learned effective techniques in a positive environment. The best part was getting to test those techniques on the last day of class - I wont ruin the surprise but definitely takes this course to the next level.

The classes I have taken at Elite Combatives have been outstanding. Juan is an excellent Krav Maga instructor. Every class is taught with great knowledge, attention to detail, patience and a sense of humor. In addition,. Juans students are instructed to help new trainees feel comfortable and to learn the proper techniques of Krav Maga with encouragement. In addition, Juans assistant instructor, Manny, is a wonderful person and an equally skilled Krav Maga instructor. I cant recommend this school enough.

I initially began training here in pursuit of an activity to get active everyday, and I will say that I have received so much more in the experience I had with Juan and the Krav community. I had tried a few other Krav places in the area but this one stuck. It stuck because I saw that the head instructors, Juan and Manny, genuinely take thier time to make sure you understand self defense to the most minute detail. It is a well paced class and at first I was intimidated by all the movements and techniques as I had no experience of any fighting previously. However, most people in the class are willing to assist each other to fight for the same goal: to be safe. With this comes a true sense of a welcoming environment in which you can learn and assist those around you in an effort to reach that main goal. The class built my confidence back and has given me an activity that I genuinely could see myself doing for the rest of my life. Juan and Manny really have a passion for this and it shows. They are both respectful, welcoming, and most of all the best instructors. Thank you Juan and Manny and to all those in the community who helped me and made me feel welcome! 100% go here!

I consider myself very lucky to have found Elite Combatives. It has personally been a tremendous help for me both physically & mentally. The instructor Juan is a very personable & intelligent trainer. His extensive knowledge & passion for his discipline make for highly effective training sessions. he keeps things positive & high spirited thus fostering a friendly & helpful culture among trainees.The place offers self defense training, which is great for building self reliance & confidence.They also offer a program called striker fit, which builds conditioning & gets the body in shape. There are different levels of training ranging for the novice (beginner) to the experienced practitioner. (There is something for for practically everyone).I highly recommend anyone looking to improve themselves to try this out.

Elite Combatives has excellent instructors who really care that you learn the techniques to properly defend yourself in a wide array of real life scenarios. Anyone can train here, its a good workout, but its not necessary to already be in great shape to get the benefits. Not only have I learned a lot in the 6 months Ive been training here, but attending a class in the evening has become something I look forward to all day.

I started training here a few months ago because I wanted to get some self defense experience and give myself a tool for survival. It was the best decision I have ever made, not only because I had always wanted to try it but because it turned out to be so much more than I expected. The benefits from taking this class are numerous and include boosted self confidence, self assurance, and getting in better shape. I have trained under Juan and Beth and I love both of these instructors. Each has a different style so if you attend sessions with both of them you will gain new perspectives. I highly recommend this class, especially for women. It is the best tool to make you feel confident enough that you could survive an attack situation. Other than the personal aspect, the studio is very clean and comfortable to train in. A million thumbs up.

Juan is a fantastic instructor. He is both patient and encouraging. I love the small class sizes (the striker fit classes). I think its great that a free class is offered so that potential customers can make an informed decision about which class is the best fit. Great endorphin high.

Ive been attending striker-fit at this facility for 2 months. The atmosphere is warm and the instructor, Juan, is personable, knows his stuff, and makes everyone feel welcomed. The work out can be challenging, but Juan motivates you and makes sure you are doing an exercise the correct way to get the full benefits. The classes are fun and encouraging . I definitely seen a difference with my strength within a few weeks. I highly recommend this facility.

I have been training with Juan for nearly six months. Working with him has given me the confidence to know I am prepared to protect myself, my friends, and my family members if need be. Krav Maga is all about leverage; it is not about strength, and this class is perfect for women. Beth runs the Thursday evening sessions, and she teaches with incredible intensity. I like that both have taught us to be aware of our surroundings, and I feel more comfortable taking the train or working late.

Tried a free class (StrikerFit kickboxing) here on Monday. Cant wait to go back. Very fun, but also challenging and a great instructor. Seems like a friendly place. I recommend trying a class there.

This place and the instructors made me feel really comfortable and feel as if I could on the world if I wanted. In a short span of time, I learned more than I ever thought I would. I would love to come back and learn more!

Took the SHE strong self defense class and it was amazing. Great people. Highly recommend.

Elite Combatives Is the best place around to learn proper self defense. The instructor Juan is very patience and gives great easy to follow directions. Every is really friendly and helpful and very welcoming. If you are look for some Krav Maga Awesomeness you should definitely check this place out.

I have been working with Juan for a little over 4 months learning Krav Maga and have enjoyed every second of it. Juan is incredibly knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. He will teach you to defend against all variety of attacks including guns, knives, and chokes. He will teach you to counter in the quickest and most efficient way.Juan will teach you to expect the unexpected, fight past what you think the limits of exhaustion are and keep a cool head in extremely stressful situations. You will walk out with the confidence, the tools to defend yourself and your loved ones. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I have been attending the StrikerFit Class for approximately 5 months. I feel amazing and have noticed a huge difference in the way my energy and over all Health has improved!! I have dropped 2 solid sizes in clothes, lost inches and weight over the last 5 months. I have received compliments left and right about how great I look :-).I only attend two to three 1/2 hour classes a week. The instructor is amazing and sets a workout tone where everyone that attends is respectful, kind, motivating and friendly to one another. We are ONE BIG happy family. I enjoy and look forward to attending class!I encourage any and everyone to give it a shot, the only thing you have to lose is weight and gain is energy and great health while in a positive atmosphere!I am so pleased, I signed my 8yo up for the kids classes and she loves it 💜...Juan is an Awsome Instructor!~April F.~

I started training with Elite Combatives about a year ago. I had no prior martial arts training and was looking for a self defense class. Im a runner that wanted to know how to protect myself on solo runs and also wanted to learn something new and useful in my day to day life. I met with Juan and he explained Krav Maga, the history, and principles prior to taking my first class. After my first class, I was hooked! The staff is well versed, trained, and patient. I have been a regular with the school ever since and Krav has become a central part of my training. I was extremely nervous about taking the class but as I mentioned; Juan, Jeff, and Manny are wonderful instructors that take their time to explain why a certain move is necessary and how the body works. You get an A-Z breakdown which is really helpful especially for someone like me who has never done any kind of formal training. For anyone looking for realistic self defense training with knowledgeable and well trained staff; I highly recommend Elite Combatives. I also take Elites StrikerFit class which has helped immensely with my strength and cardio not to mention helps with the basics of Krav. Im super appreciative of the time the staff has spent to help me understand and navigate Krav Maga. Absolutely love Krav and Elite Combatives!

I enjoyed every single class I attended and learned so many new techniques and skills in a short time that I never knew were simple but effective in defending yourself. Definitely plan on joining full time soon. But highly recommend this class and my trainers Juan and Cheramie were just amazing.

Juan and his wife were very helpful in thoroughly going over gun safety and werent shy of going out of their way to offer help and their free time to ensure their students got the maximum amount out of their gun safety course. Would highly recommend them to anyone interested.

I have been taking self defense classes taught by Juan for a couple weeks now, and it has been a great experience. Im taking the classes because I live in NYC and will be riding the subway to & from school. Juan is teaching me very useful techniques such as what to do if you are choked, if someone pulls a knife or gun on you, et cetera.Learning these techniques have given me confidence that I will have an idea of what to do if something dangerous happens, and Juan has made learning these techniques interesting and enjoyable. He is really down to earth, nice, humble and a great teacher. 5 stars!!!

LOVE striker so much fun time goes by so fast feel like you want to keep going

Training there is a great experience.
