I've been training at KMMD for a little over 6 months now. First things first, its the best gym/training center I've ever been to. In fact, it's more than a gym, it's a family, it's the first time in my life that I've felt excited about a workout. All the instructors are exceptionally knowledgeable and take a personal interest in my progress. They've encouraged me to overcome any physical or mental barriers that I had and I have achieved such progress in my strength and abilities which I never deemed possible. Even the support staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating to anything that one might need. And if you're having a really bad day, there's always Gretchen who cheers you right up. To anyone who's thinking about Krav Maga or just training to be fit I would say don't hesitate even for a moment. It's the best investment I've made so far.

Re: Virtual Academy- I recently completed the 6 week virtual academy through Krav Maga Maryland. During this 6 week period I had the opportunity to work with Jeremy & Evelyn. Their knowledge and way in which they are able to transfer this knowledge is beyond reproach. It was an honor to have the opportunity to work with and interact with both Jeremy and Evelyn. If you are even the slightest bit interested in Krav Maga, I highly recommend this virtual academy. Krav Maga Maryland is not just a Krav Maga Worldwide school. They are a Krav Maga World Class school.

What a great place and training environment! The staff is amazing!!! They are very knowledgeable professionals who are passionately committed to making your training and self defense classes exceed expectations. They genuinely support you in your goals and create a sense of community for all members. You will be encouraged, challenged and coached to overcome perceived limitations. I highly recommend Krav Maga Maryland as an excellent, safe and clean facility with a dedicated team of instructors!

I have trained at Krav Maga Maryland in the past, and I know Jeff Mount and Elizabeth Green personally. They are fantastic instructors and this is without a doubt the nicest Krav Maga location that I have ever seen. Great programs and great people. If you have any desire to get in shape and become safer (and why wouldn't you) you need to check this place out.

Scam. I visited this Gym in October of 2022. I paid a fee to take a class as a trial. While talking to the instructor Kyle, we discussed the steps to join the Gym. I had concerns about joining because some gyms use pretty hostile tactics to keep your membership active. I directly asked him if I could cancel at any time. The instructor Kyle said "Yes of course, we're not like that.". A week later I was in an accident and broke 3 ribs. I was not able to physically continue with the training. I let them know and they directed me to a website to fill out a cancelation form. Three months later, I got an email from them saying "We're going to charge your card unless you tell us otherwise". They then charged my credit card without my knowledge for $280. I only went to this gym one time 4 months ago from the date of this complaint. I haven't used their services and I called and filled out paperwork to cancel 4 months ago. What I have learned from their customer service since is there is no way to cancel it without a doctors note. Otherwise they will only "freeze" your account for some time and then continue billing you. This was not explained to me at all when I signed up (and who would sign up if they knew those terms?). When I spoke to their customer service, I was bullied and yelled at by a gentlemen named Thomas.

Krav Maga Maryland is a great school and I had a very positive experience attending classes. I attended classes here for a little over two years and it was one of the things I will miss most about MD. I stopped attending due to an out of state move. The school is very friendly to military and law enforcement, offering discounts for both. For a base price you can attend as many classes as you want, which is plus and very different from the other martial arts schools I have attended/researched. The facility is large, clean and well equipped. The instructors are friendly, competent and all trained to the same standard. The other students are encouraging and welcoming to new students. The instructors and other students motivate you to push through your limits to "get home safe". The self defense aspect of Krav Maga was very different from other training I had, with an emphasis on what works instead of a scripted response. I also shaved 45 seconds off my 2 mile run time do to the cardio aspect of the classes. Krav Maga Maryland is also part of a larger organization Krav Maga Worldwide, which allowed me to train at different locations while I was out of town on business. I told the General Manager I where was going and she would look to see if there were any affiliated schools in the area. If there were, she called and I was allowed to train while in he area for business. As a result I trained in Louisiana, Texas ( a different cities), Virginia and Florida while away on business, for no additional fee. I had to place my account on hold several times due to absences for work. I gave the admin personnel my documentation and never had any issue. Krav Maga became a big part of my life while attending this school and I will miss the instructors, students and classes. I appreciate all their efforts to help me "get home safe". Highly recommend for fitness, self defense and fun.

Though it has been a few years since I last trained there, to this day I still refer people interested in learning self-defense to Krav Maga Maryland in Columbia. The staff was always helpful, facilities clean, and instructors patient and competent. The workouts are challenging, you will improve your fitness! More importantly, in my eyes, you will come away better able to identify and avoid potentially dangerous situations on the streets before they escalate and be able to defend yourself/loved ones if avoidance is not possible.

This facility is run by great people that are very knowledgable and supportive. I was very hesitant to try something like Krav Maga at first, but Elisabeth walked me through everything and answered all of my questions patiently and clearly. Her help and the friendliness of the staff and instructors really helped me feel confident in my decision to train there. And it has been the best decision I have ever made! I cannot recommend training in Krav Maga any more highly and especially with Krav Maga Maryland in Columbia. I walked out feeling so confident in myself after just the first session! You also get a complete exercise and workout session in each class! I love attending the training!!!

Krav Maga Maryland is a facility that not only offers an excellent self defense system, yoga, and crossfit, but a nurturing and motivating environment. Their instructors care about each student that comes into their class, and they take the time to ensure everyone is doing the skill properly. Not only are the instructors wonderful, but the other students are inspiring as well. The people you train with quickly become your good friends, and motivate you when you have no motivation. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone looking for a practical and smart approach to self defense and fitness.

What I look for in a training center are great classes, friendly staff/students, and a clean and safe environment. Krav Maga Maryland gives you all of these things and more. You sweat and get a great workout like you would at any gym, but you leave this facility with the skills and knowledge that could save your life one day. Def contact them if you're looking for quality self defense training.
