I absolutely love this school and the community it fosters!!! My husband talked me into trying a class over a year ago and I never looked back. No matter your fitness level or background in martial arts, this school will welcome you with open arms and show you how to effectively kick groins (among so, so many other techniques). In addition to the awesome community, there's incredible instructors. The main instructor, Jesse, is supportive and very knowledgeable. His lessons challenge you and you'll leave class sweaty with a head full of new skills. I give this place a perfect 5/7.

I Highly recommend KMCD to ALL! They offer a Free 1st trial class. I took it, loved it, & signed up! I’m a wife, mom, homeschooler, and work in the aviation industry- KMCD was exactly what I was lookin for. I get the physical exercise needed & also gain confidence in learning how to protect myself and my family, any time any place. KMCD provides a safe, welcoming atmosphere. My kids always feel welcomed to come sit learn & observe, or participate. KMCD KEEPS IT REAL which sets this place apart!! I’ve tried another local KM which was a different vibe. I love and appreciate the real, raw, and encouraged aggressiveness here. They make it all realistic; create real life scenarios to practice and put to test the skills & techniques we’ve learned. Jesse and all instructors are absolutely Amazing! They set great examples as instructors teachers leaders who are passionate, living, loving, & doing what they teach. Through their own lives, they reveal their hunger, dedication, intensity, uniqueness & personal growth in KM, which naturally sets high standards & compliments their respected leadership and how they care, facilitate, and train each one of us for success at KMCD. KMCD has the training equipment to help us practice and grow; weapons, pads, materials etc needed to combat partner to partner and an awesome full suit protection for high intensity full contact. I greatly appreciate the photos and videos taken in class, because it provides me the opportunity to see, watch, learn from, take note and work towards improvement. This helps me process, learn & grow. I need flexibility in my schedule & I like that they offer a variety of classes, times, seven days a week, and offer opportunities to seminars & specialized trainings throughout. I really enjoyed Krav Street week- self defense scenarios in our cars, and the dresses & heels class. I look forward to trying more and encourage all to give it a try & Join!

When I started casually attending KMCD a few months ago, I didn’t have any kind of background in martial arts or the like. I was a little self conscious of this in the beginning but quickly realized it didn’t matter. Jesse, the instructor, is extremely warm and inviting, and the students are friendly, down to earth, and helpful. I wouldn’t have kept coming back if there was any sense of gatekeeping, condescension, or general egoism. The diversity of students and their backgrounds speaks to the approachability of Jesse and the classroom vibes. Classmates maintain a great camaraderie, and I am now fully addicted to Krav. I love that I get to learn, laugh, and grow with this wonderful community of folks. Thanks for cultivating such a welcoming atmosphere, Jesse!

Excellent self defense classes! Welcoming, diverse group. I learn practical skills every class that can be applied to real world scenarios. Also a great workout! Jesse, the owner, is an excellent instructor who's cultivating a great community and passing on some very valuable skills. Highly recommend!

The instructors are cool except Jesse, the owner. Very fragile ego, and all about money, pathetic and poor business practices.
