Premier Fight and Fitness La Mesa

First off, the instructors for the kids classes are very awesome! When my son first started about a year ago there were about 8 kids. Now there are anywhere from 14-20 kids participating by friends inviting them to join. My son loves that he is learning all the basic and advanced skills of Krav Maga- Self Defense. He likes the challenge of learning new things! The instructors are awesome for the kids and the adult classes as well. I have 5 family members that are involved and love the challenge! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! Thanks again to the awesome coaches.

AOS is a great school for anyone who wants to feel confident in being able to defend themselves in a hairy situation! I personally get bored at gyms and this has been a great way to get in shape and learn a new skill at the same time. All the instructors are very knowledgeable, kind and respectful. Coach David is great at explaining and breaking down techniques so they’re easy to understand. I’ve been training for about six months and I feel stronger than ever. Do it.

I've trained Krav Maga at 2 other locations and AOS seems the most geared toward actual street application. David, the instructor, pays personal attention to each individual so you don't feel just like another number. He makes corrections and gives advice and really cares about personal growth of each of his students. It's nice having a good mix of Men and Women training partners so the fight scenarios are more realistic. Krav Maga is great for Self Defense. Everyone should give it a try.

The classes at Art of Survival are both interesting and challenging. David is an awesome instructor, he is helpful, motivating and patient. Since I am a beginner he takes the time to show me the correct way to do the drills so I don't hurt myself or my training partner. He also works with the fact that I have a foot injury. Beyond the instructors, you'll find the people you're training with friendly and supportive and all around awesome. People with more experience have no issues pairing with a novice and will help coach. I recommend this studio to anyone looking for practical self defense, fitness, and self improvement.

I take the trolley to get around San Diego and it can be kinda scary, especially night. I would like to learn how to fight and defend myself so that I can feel confident walking home at night. Also, learning how to fight and be tough is a lot of fun and a great work out. People see me as a sweet, weak girl but I would love to surprise people with my fighting skills one day. Dave has been great at teaching us some basics of Krav Maga. He goes around the room to make sure we have proper form and is very encouraging. I've really enjoyed the class so far and look forward to learning more!
