I am so glad that I finally signed up at Alpha Krav Maga after passing it so many times. I used to do Krav Maga years ago and finally decided to get back into it. Dennis and all of the instructors take the time to make a personal connection with all of the students and it really does feel like a family atmosphere. Krav Maga is amazing for self-defense, disciple, and an entertaining way to stay fit. I can't recommend Krav Maga enough to those of all ages and would encourage everyone to at least take a trial class to see what it's all about. Thanks again to Dennis, Karen, and the entire coaching staff for making Alpha Krav Maga feel like a home away from home.

I’ve loved every class at AKMB since I joined Dec 2023. The coaches are skilled, kind, and truly supportive. I’ve made real progress and built friendships with both classmates and staff. These fun, challenging classes have replaced most of my gym routine. Even after my knee injury from skiing in Feb 2025, the team has continued to support me - this place really cares! Highly recommend for anyone looking to train hard and have fun!

Great training. Met some really nice people. Learning something new and challenging yourself is what life is all about. A few hours a week is rewarding on many levels starting with commitment. There is no intimidation at the school as training progresses slowly together with folks in similar levels and some with no athletic background. Fellow students are from various professions including a nurse and white collar folks like myself but once class starts, we are all in the same boat learning a skill together and staying physically active for health and well being. Check in with Dennis or Karen for more guidance.

Having trained from LA to NY, I can say with no doubt, the team at AKMB is best of the best. Every coach is immensely skilled, friendly, safety-oriented, and patient. I train with my fiancé, but this studio is great for solo training, kids, or even families... and an amazing place to make new friends. Whether it's for self-defense, jiu jitsu, boxing, or general conditioning, you owe it to yourself to try it out at least once.

I joined this gym recently, I can't stress enough how good the coaches are! they make your training enjoyable, so you don't feel the time passing. The coaches are very knowledgable and very kind/friendly which adds to the motivation to follow their teaching. They explain every technique with great clarity and repeat it to you as much as needed, until you get it; one can feel that they care greatly about their students learning the techniques properly. The other teammates are great as well, no one comes here with any attitude besides kindness and humility, regardless of their experience. Finally, in this gym I see a clear focus on real self defense, no gimmicky staff going on, you learn what might work if it gets to using this skill (I put 'might' because in real situation one has to factor in many other things, such as stress etc., which they remind you of all the time in this gym, i.e., they do not lie to you ;)). Another plus, is that the gym is easily accessible via the orange line for T users (5 mins walk from the station). Overall, it's been a great experience, I love the choice I made by joining this great community! B.
