This honestly is the premier self-defense gym in the Las Vegas metro area -- a great place to learn how to handle yourself in a potentially dangerous situation. Instructors are friendly; other students are very supportive; demonstrations are clear and thorough; workouts and drills can be intense cardio-wise, but theyre well thought out and structured to help ensure success. Im nearly 70-years old and really look forward to each class. Theyve helped me to get into some of the best shape of my life.

This is my first time writing a review I felt the need to briefly share my experience. First of all, this is a very welcoming atmosphere and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to teaching their students.The training I received was very effective during a recent attack towards me, and I was able to defend myself, the main objective of self-defense training is to empower you with techniques to handle an attack independently, and this place was able to equip me with that and even more. I definitely recommend this place to anyone. Thank you to all the instructors and a special thank you to Cynthia always so positive and encouraging.

Highly recommend! Im an introvert and was very nervous at first knowing Id likely be the weakest link in each class, but honestly I ended up loving it! The instructors are great. They are truly passionate about what they do & it shows in the way they teach their students. Unfortunately, I had to cut my time at NKM short due to my schedule, but when I am able to I will be returning! If you want a great work out AND learn self defense, definitely try Nomad!

This is one of the best MMA gyms in Las Vegas. I took my girlfriend here for a free session. She was very nervous to try martial arts. She fell in love with it and is now about to test for her blue belt in Jiujutsu. I was a member here until I had to relocate for work. Great training, instruction, workout, and family atmosphere. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a challenge!

I loved training at Nomad. Extremely knowledgable and friendly staff. Best workout Ive had since basic training and I learned some new and valuable self defense skills. They have a variety of classes for all skill and endurance levels. I highly recommend Nomad if you are thinking about getting into Krav Maga in the Las Vegas area!

Love this academy and blessed to have found it! Extremely quality & educated instructors that truly cultivate the family mentality so fundamental to good martial arts school. The whole community came together through a charity workshop for one of the member’s whose son unexpectedly passed away and Shannon stressed the same would be done should the need arise for any member. Top quality training by instructors and owners with amazing heart and skills. Everyone wants to help you improve- no egos or gym politics! Highly recommend!

Trainer, Shannon, does not pay attention to beginner kids. This supposed beginners summer class, was a joke. Proper form was not taught to ensure future success. Also, as an instructor is your job to pair children properly, not just Find a partner and have a little kid with a big kid more than a foot taller, who would be stronger too...obviously. This class needed to be divided into younger kids and older kids.There was another trainer who was there the first week, he was better. If he saw kids were doing exercises wrong he would take time to teach them. Thats what this was supposed to be a learning class. Would definitely not recommend.

Thank you Shannon and your team for welcoming me into your gym. It is simply high level training and loads of fun learning with you. Highly recommend this place for all your fitness, weight loss, martial arts and reality based protection training. Looking forward to the future catching up with you again soon.

I trained under the owner/lead instructor Shannon when he lived in Knoxville TN. He is one of the best instructors I have had. He is patient and explains every step he is doing. I hate he moved away but I am glad he is doing what he loves. I highly recommend Nomad Krav Maga to anyone in the area that want to learn self defense!

I’ve been training at Nomad KMLV for over 3 years now, and since day 1 it hasn’t been anything other than the best experience in martial arts I have ever had. Shannon (lead Instructor and owner) is an incredible martial artist with an extraordinary background in different disciplines. He is always looking to learn more and get better, but not just for own benefit but to bring that knowledge to his students as much as he can. Every single class is given with lots of power and is adapted to real life situations; that’s what Krav Maga is all about.They also do many different types of seminars every year with celebrities from the martial arts world.The class schedule is pretty intense with different types of classes and they are always looking to add more for their students.As a business owner, him and his wife Cynthia (co-owner) are very nice, friendly and respectful to all students; they are awesome people.If you are looking for a place where you can learn a very strong and useful self defense discipline, get a great workout, and be with great people, NOMAD KMLV is your place!

Truly an amazing school! For a long time I looked for a class and a teacher that taught and understood the value of discipline and defense. I saw the ad for a womens 6 week bootcamp type course. There I met Shannon and his wife Cynthia. Its been a long time since I have seen or experienced two individuals so passionate about what they do and how to help others meet their personal fitness and physical goals. I was able to loose about 4 sizes and 80lbs, while refreshing my martial art skills and improving my overall health. The course I took was intense and the classes I continued with afterwards was even more intense, but they were designed to make you work. Which is what I wanted and both Shannon and Cynthia were there encouraging and supporting me to keep going.Before every class Shannon would tell us to do the best we could, but to continue to practice to make us faster and stronger. Any person who has been in sports or this type of class knows, results are not instant and there is no way you can learn all the skills in one day or week. It takes time to properly train and learn how to use the skills and techniques in ways to help improve your life.Again I cant thank these two amazing individuals for their school enough! I found them when I needed it the most. I would and still do recommend them to anyone in Las Vegas, but I do say this... you will work hard.

Shannon is a dedicated Instructor and has created a premier school from the ground up in the same manner he approaches martial arts... with hard work and determination. Only down side is Nomad Krav Maga is on the wrong side of town. Still waiting for him to expand his growing empire out to Centennial Hills!

This is the best place for Krav Maga in Las Vegas, for sure. The instructors here are very approachable and really make you feel like you belong, unlike some other places Ive experienced. Every class is a GREAT workout, and you leave feeling like you really accomplished something. The techniques and drills taught during class will prepare you to defend yourself quickly. Its very challenging, but rewarding. I would recommend Nomad Krav Maga to anyone looking for quality real-world self-defense!

I walked into Nomad Krav Maga about 3 years ago, I’ve always wanted to try it.I got hooked from day 1, and never looked back.Shannon, and Cynthia made me feel welcomed, made me want to train harder, and it’s the best workout! Never boring , always evolving.You put in, what you like to get out of anything you do in life, and NKM has made me feel safer.Training is key, so the more you do it, the better you will get, and you will gain more confidence with your own movements.Highly recommend @Nomadkravmaga

Lets face it, we are living in trouble times .I wanted to learn how to protect myself and family. I turned 60 and this was on my bucket list. I am a peaceful man who never looks for trouble but if it finds me I wanted to be prepared !I did my research and Krav Maga was the answer. When I started at Nomad I was amazed how everyone pulled for each other.My fears of my age not fitting in were not valid .Shannon and Cynthia the owners have done a marvelous job creating such a warm welcoming environment. Im in my 9th month and discovered many new surprises from my training there .My confidence has soared and I am in fantastic shape! If trouble finds me it better be prepared cause I am thanks to Nomad Krav Maga!Hope to see you there!

Phenomenal training. I cannot say enough good things about this place but Ill try. Shannon and Cynthia are awesome people who arent just there to facilitate a business they have no qualms with jumping in right alongside their students for a killer workout or the sharpening of fundamental skills. Shannon is the only black belt teaching out of Las Vegas and his mentality when it comes to self defense is practical and informative. Their unlimited class rate is the best value for the quality of training they offer at 120$ per month for as many classes per week as you can handle there is nowhere else in Las Vegas I would rather train. Krav maga is a go to for military and LEO because it is easy to pick up and use effectively whether you are just starting out or you are an experienced self defense practitioner and in either case Nomad Krav Maga will get you where you want to be. Hope to see you on the mat!

If you are looking for a place that feels welcoming to learn self-defense, then look no further. This is a great place for everyone - beginners to advanced students. The classes are fun and practical and the workouts are intense. The gym is clean, everyone is very friendly and the class schedules make it convenient to train several times each week. Shannons enthusiasm and energy is very infectious. Catch you some today. Youll be glad you did.

I’ve been coming here for several months now and am so happy that I joined. In the beginning I was kind of intimidated, but Shannon (Instructor/Owner) and the classmates are very welcoming and more than willing to help out. It takes me quite a while to get a handle on the techniques and I always have a lot of questions, but Shannon is always willing to take the time to make sure I am doing it right and never makes me feel like an idiot. The classes make you work, but the environment and the people are so motivating. I think the biggest thing I have noticed is that these classes enable me to push through my physical and mental limits; something I almost never do when I used to exercise. Anyways, thanks to this class, I am in the best shape I have ever been in AND I also have a better chance of survival in the event of a home invasion (my biggest fear). So if you want to get in better shape and make it harder for someone to murder you, i recommend you try out this place!!!

Fantastic new Krav Maga location! Great workout with life skills to protect yourself and loved ones. I have not worked out in years and was nervous to join but after one class I can honestly say it was great and I felt comfortable, sure they push you but in a way that motivates you and nothing else. Keep up the great work! Thanks Shannon!

Shannon and his wife have literally traveled the world to bring you the best krav maga program you could ask for. I had the good fortune to train with them in an instructor certification course. I was very impressed with their knowledge, work ethic, and professionalism. If you live in the greater Las Vegas area you owe it to yourself to join their program.

I attended a free introductory class today, and it was great! The owner and instructor, Shannon, seemed extremely knowledgeable and skilled, and his teaching style was easy to understand. We went over a number of basic, but obviously very useful, self-defense techniques, including the proper stance, open-handed hits, kicks, knees, how to get out of a choke-hold, etc. Im definitely looking forward to attending another class!

The best decision I made in 2017 was joining Nomad Krav Maga. Without a doubt, it’s the best workout I’ve had. I’ve tried plenty of other ways (lifting weights, trying every cardio machine you can think of, group classes, fitness bootcamps, hiring personal trainers) and had memberships at a few places around town. But nothing compares to the intensity of the classes here. In the year I’ve been a member I’ve lost 20 pounds and I’m in the best shape I’ve been in in over a decade.The other added benefit is learning practical self defense techniques that could save your life or the lives of loved ones. The owner, Shannon, is incredibly knowledgeable. He’s great at explaining and demonstrating different skills, he’s encouraging, and he also knows when to push you to get better. The classes aren’t easy, but you’ll love the results. No matter what your fitness level, age, or experience level with self defense/martial arts, the team at Nomad can help you reach your goals.

Two years ago, I disliked going to the gym. I didn’t enjoy attending fitness classes as they bore me easily. But Nomad Krav Maga (NKM) changed my perspective on gyms and working out. Not only am I getting a 100% of intense work out, but NKM also knows how to empower the beast out of any individual that joins their classes. Each class is pact with drills, self defense skill training and a honest sense of camaraderie and respect among the rest of the group. If you want to be fierce, mentally and physically powerful and strategically smart in defending yourself, sign up at Nomad Krav Maga, NOW!Two years to the day I joined NKM, I believe on their teaching and principles in training so much that I am enrolling my tween daughter to their Kids classes and I am waiting for my son to get a little older so he can join as well. I’ve watched how Shannon conducts the kids class and it’s definitely simpler yet precise on the techniques in which children can easily understand and follow through. As a practitioner Krav Maga, parents must know that the training for the kids classes are more focused on how to build their confidence and alertness to their surroundings. Their kids Krav Maga class is highly recommendable.

I found out about Krav Maga about 6 years ago. I was always too intimidated by the thought of trying it out. I didnt think I had what it takes to be part of a gym like this (5 ft, 115 lbs girl) and no MMA background. Last year, I decided to start doing things I always wanted to do. So, 11 months ago I looked up Krav Maga gyms in Vegas and I am so glad I called Nomad. Shannon was very welcoming and encouraging to show up and take the trial class. I showed up and signed up right away even though I live on the other side of town. I am SO glad I took this step. The students at the gym were very welcoming, we still are. This is the best way to stay fit and get that confidence inside of you thats waiting to come out. I travel a lot for work and I cant come to class 6 days a week, but I would if I could. Shannon and Cynthia are very supportive and the instruction is great. Shannon’s teaching will blow your mind. It is evident he has a passion for teaching as well as Krav Maga. What you learn here will change your life for the better. We have people of all ages and backgrounds (and heights haha). Dont think about it any longer like I did and waste more time. Come and join us for a class and surprise yourself about what you’re capable of achieving if you continue training, you will not regret it!

Having trained in KM at several schools around the country, I am particular about where and with whom I will train.NKM has a great foundation that only gets better. There is clearly no complacency with Shannon Langwell the lead instructor as he is always striving to better his techniques as well as learning new ones.NMK often has guest instructors who bring a other level to training.I’ve never seen a school involved with the community as NMK.I hope I explained my 5 stars.Stay safe!

I have been a member since 2016. Usually I don’t stick with any type of gym or workout. Nomad Krav Maga has changed everything for me.

Ive never done any martial arts before and I hate working out at the gym. Krav Maga is a wonderful mix of working out and learning self defense. The instructors/owners the Langwells, and everyone that goes here, are always very supportive. Its tough but you feel satisfied, and youve learned skills that could save your life or those you love.
