From the reviews

Several years ago, my two sons were actively involved in karate at one of the local academies. But unexpectedly for all of us, the owner closed the Academy and went to Japan. This was a big stress for my children, and we looked for something else for a long time to continue, but everything was useless.

Excellent martial arts school. Both my children attend karate classes here . The staff is very kind and professional. I've seen great improvement in their personalities, both at home and school. I'm glad I chose this school and definitely recommend it to everyone. It's the best!!!

Your first BJJ class at Moti Horenstein’s Krav-Maga & MMA

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
