Its times like these that remind me how Krav is about so much more than elbows, groin strikes or any physical training. At the end of the day, every stress drill weve ever done shows us how deep we can dig to keep going. Hoping everyone is well, staying safe and staying strong through these crazy times. Appreciating this community and everything you guys are doing for your students right now.

My husband and I went for an introductory class here and really enjoyed the workout. We were given gloves to use for the class. At the end of the class, we sat down to talk to the sales team. My face started turning red and continued to do so as the night wore on. The next morning I woke up with a rash and swollen face. I wasnt sure what was happening but I later found out that I had contracted a staph infection. There was nothing that I had done out of the ordinary other than attend this class. This points to the gloves that they gave me to use not being cleaned properly. They are house gloves that the instructors tell you to wear for certain parts of the class.I spoke to the managers several times via phone and email until they turned me over to an insurance adjustor for their cleaning company. I had to give them personal medical records as this event caused me to go to urgent care and then the ER twice. I also had to submit embarrassing photos of my face. I was in so much pain and unable to attend meetings that I had scheduled to find work. It was a total nightmare.After several months of the runaround, I was sent a note that there wasnt enough evidence to show they were at fault. After talking to many that have trained in martial arts gyms and doing research, I found that staph infections are common. Now that free class cost me medical bills and time. Needless to say, I am incredibly disappointed and advise others to avoid this gym. My skin hasnt been the same since.

This gym has some intense classes! I was sore, but in a good way--woke up some muscles and I felt like I learned a lot in a short period of time.Tried out the Intro to Krav Maga class a couple of times using a free pass while I was visiting my friend in LA.The workouts were really fun, the class sizes were comfortable (Id say about 12-13 people with a nice mix of men and women), and instructors very knowledgeable, motivational, and attentive in helping improve my form for a more effective workout.The staff was really nice and helpful too; they gave good tips on my first day on how to wear my hand wraps, and what classes to try.The facility is open and big, and restrooms were generously equipped with things like razors, deodorant, body wash, etc. I had a really top notch experience.OH, and for those concerned about LA parking, this place validates your parking in the parking garage, so you get 2 hours of free parking while youre working out! :) Sweet! Plus, the parking garage is free with validation on the weekends for unlimited parking if you want to workout longer on the weekends.Overall, I would definitely recommend this gym if youre interested in taking your fitness to the next level and learning more about self-defense. Wish they had this gym where I live!

Signing up for KMW has literally been the best investment of my life, and its not even that expensive compared to other gyms. The schedule a flexible for many different kinds of schedules and the instructors are amazing! I look forward to going every time, and the days that I go are that much better! I strongly suggested to anyone looking for an awesome workout and an amazing environment!

Krav Maga Worldwide is an awesome place to practice, train and workout! The staff is friendly, the instructors are clear and supportive, and the centers are clean and well maintained. The early morning and evening class schedule at either center (West LA or Sherman Oaks) makes it possible to train no matter what happens with my varied work hours or location. Highly recommend!

Super Legit Martial arts instruction. Every single instructor brings it at a high level.Definitely check out Waynes Combative Class for an amazing Thai Pad workout and his bag class is by far the best workout in town.I cannot say enough about the quality of instruction @ this school.

Krav Maga is my go-to for staying in proper form while maintaining my ability to defend myself. Ray gave me a thorough introduction to the facility and what it had to offer...I signed on the spot. And Ruby at the front desk is always full of cheer and super helpful, especially at 530 AM! I love KMW!

Love it! It is the only workout routine that keeps me coming 5-6 days a week! The instructors are kind yet firmly motivating. I am approaching being in the best shape (literally) of my life at almost 60!

Spacious & clean gym with super-skilled instructors, diverse classes, and friendly & supportive people. Can’t recommend highly enough. I attend CrossFit, Fight, fitness/bag, and Krav classes... and I love them all.Special shout out to Ruby at the front desk, who always has a smile (even at 6am)!

5 stars, except for the hobo that building management routinely allows to sleep in front of Krav Maga. Results in unpleasant odors and third world conditions. Please enforce no dwelling on private property. There is a sidewalk across the street... since LAPD legally allows sidewalk encampments and dwelling.

Had a good experience until I referred my friend last year. Unrequested, he was promised an Amazon gift card to me for referring him. At this time he was also told he could just keep the gift card for himself if he wanted... Its been almost a year since and every excuse in the book from a bounced charge (a lie), owner hasnt approved gift card, an account default (another lie), we will call you to pickup in two weeks for sure, etc has been given to me by Juan over the phone. I was to return to training after my injury but this very shady and unnecessary episode has truned both my friend and I off. We will train somewhere else with staff and business practices with integrity.

I have been a member for more than 4 years. The staff is nice and helpful, the instructors are really good and very patient with all of us. Very clean. As long as I live in LA, KMWW will always be my gym.

Been with organization for more than 10 years and the people and instructors you will meet here are very good at what they do. Good place to come, get a good workout and learn some good self defense.

KMW is an amazing place that teaches you how to defend yourself and instead of going to the gym and working out they motivate you to defend yourself and get into shape and the best part is that you can take as many classes you want to take during the week(whatever you are eligible for) and my experience with the place has been amazing and I would recommend it to everyone that needs to get in shape or be able to defend themselves because they are smaller and not as strong as there attacker,which they teach you.But you have to be consistent and take every class you need to go to the next level.

Ive been training at KMW for six years and keep coming back for more. Standout instructors at West LA & Sherman Oaks include Todd Goldman, Mike Burton, Christian Medina, and Mario Alaniz. Also a shout-out to Paola Mendez at the front desk, whos always friendly, and who encouraged me to leave a review.

No words to describe how professional, charismatic and friendly everyone is from trainers to receptionists, if you come once, you will fall in love with krav maga in West LA, and will stay for good. Ive been waiting for that training many years. Juan Arredondo answered all my questions when I first walked in, and I enrolled the same day. Great job, guys! Keep it up! Cant wait for the next class!

Had my first Krav Maga class yesterday and it showed me how far I am from where Id like to be. We practiced stances, air pumches, partner light sparring and holding bags for our partners to punch.. Tip.. Pick a small guy or the punches will knock the wind out of you lol..first time Ive been punched and it was a light taste of the real thing which seems ingenius. Will join once I have the money..tons of classes and after the lvl 1 Krav Maga class my core and many other muscles were sore and I felt like Id just done a hard run, so aerobic benefits too.

It’s one thing to beat your opponent in the street, it’s another thing to beat father time and this will help you beat both.

I usually dont write reviews, but several one-star ratings have prompted me to do so. Krav Maga Worldwide, founded by Darren Levine (one of only two people to be given the Krav Maga Founder’s Diploma by Imi Lichtenfeld himself), is the best place to train in Krav Maga in California. Period. The instructors are well trained, experienced, friendly, and are always so passionate about their roles. Never, in my three years of training have I ever encountered a cool kids only club mentality. My fellow students are always humble, amiable, and open to criticism. You do occasionally come across people who are deluded into thinking that theyre going to be the next Bruce Lee, but theyre too far and in between, and usually get humbled pretty fast here. Unlike what one uninformed reviewer wrote, the curriculum at Krav Maga Worldwide is practical, efficient, and can be rapidly learned and retained. Some of the instructors here have attended Wingate Institute in Israel (where Krav Maga is taught to IDF soldiers), and KMW has taught over 500 law-enforcement agencies including the FBI. Having said that, any lack of confidence and progress is purely on you. As far as contracts go, I have one solid piece of advice for you. Do you have your pen and paper ready to take notes? If you dont like the idea of being legally obligated to do something, you probably shouldnt sign contracts. Weird right? Buyer Beware; no, you just need to look up the definition of the most common type of legal document in the world. But seriously, these people are simply doing their jobs. Pretty much anyone will not like it if you dont meet the terms of a legal document you swore that you could in writing. Simply dont sign a contract here (as well as anywhere) if youre not sure you can meet the terms.

Hands down KMW is amazing. The expertise and knowledge of both Krav and Crossfit makes this gym a truly unique experience. Each coach brings something different, from strength training, endurance, skill, and form. Additionally, the members become an extension of your family and really drive the energy. Expect huge changes from diet, flexibility, strength, form and lifestyle.As people go, both the coaches and the members are some of the most positive and encouraging people you can find on the west side. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to bring their best. There are a lot of members and I think most people know most of them by name and family.After spending over 9 months with the KMW family, I find it impossible to consider any place else. If you want to join a committed family of dedicated professional athletes, look no further than KMW.
