I am a student in the Krav Maga classes and also took the recent Knife Combatives Seminar. Both experiences are incredible. Sean has a wealth of knowledge in all aspects of self-defense as well as having a traditional martial-arts background. He is very thorough with his introduction to new techniques and has a great teaching philosophy. He believes that with repetition you get perfection, so rather than throwing too many complicated moves at you he focuses on a methodical teaching practice that ensures each and every student walks away with a profound understanding of what they are learning and how to apply it in a real life situation. I could not be happier with these classes and with his instruction methods. You will not find a better instructor anywhere else. - Andres Quintana
As a Law Enforcement Officer I highly recommend Reno Krav Maga. I thought I knew self defense before the class and quickly realized how little I actually knew. I wanted to supplement my departments training and looked for a self defense style class to enroll in. I had completed research on many different styles of martial arts. I really liked the principles of Krav Maga due to the fact that it is not a sport but a true self defense. When Reno Krav Maga opened, I jumped at the chance to enroll. My wife and I quickly became members shortly afterwards. My wife I really enjoy the classes and the instruction of Shawn, the owner. He is willing to take the extra step if we don't exactly understand a technique. The classes are the perfect length in time, and there is a class to fit our busy schedules. As long as you have the will to survive, you can handle the classes. - RPD Officer
On a recent trip, my wife & I were robbed at gunpoint. I decided to take a self defense course to be better prepared to deal with situations like this if it ever occurred again. My brother is a 25+ year policeman with extensive martial arts and self defense experience. He highly recommended Krav Maga as THE best system for "on the street" self defense. I've been taking classes at Reno Krav Maga for 2 months. Sean, the owner and instructor, is an excellent teacher. He explains the various techniques in a thorough understandable fashion. As a 55 year old man with a bad back and the typical aches and pains, I find the classes challenging but doable. Sean knows how hard to push each student so you learn and develop. The fellow students, with varying levels of expertise, are all friendly and gladly help each other learn. I highly recommend Reno Krav Maga. - Google User I have been taking Krav for a little over a month now and am completely thrilled by its effectiveness. No BS. This is not your sport style comedy version of martial arts. Its raw, real, and can save your life. So please, come join and learn how to save a life, and break some bones. - Google User
I was mainly looking for a place to get in shape. I thought that with Krav Maga I would get the added benefit of learning how to defend myself. I was a little intimidated when I first looked at the classes. Being over weight and having numerous injuries, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to participate in the classes. After talking to the instructor, I learned that anyone, with any background and any physical condition, can learn to defend themselves. The only thing that I needed was the heart to do whatever it takes to walk away from a bad situation. Classes are great. We learn the different techniques, work one on one with other class members, work on the BOB's, and work in pressure drills. The whole idea is that we learn what to use and how to use it so we don't panic when it is needed. I have noticed that I have more self confidence. That I am more aware of my surroundings and don't freeze up when someone is yelling at me. I also have noticed more endurance and loosing weight. This is a great place to learn self defense.I recommend this to everyone. Check out the website, call the instructor, or check out a class. It is worth your time!! - Google User
I can honestly say I have never felt so good about something. Every day I leave feeling stronger and more energized, and I feel that everyone I am working with are closer together than many I have come to call friends in the past. It's a good working environment that needs 100% effort to succeed and excel in. Go in with half-assed effort, expect half-assed results! It's definitely a no whiners Zone, come in with positive can do attitude and you will fit right in no matter what, as long as you give YOUR 100%. And just now starting into my sixth week, I believe I am in the best shape I have ever been in a long time, If not in my life. If I'm not already in the best shape of my life, I wouldn't doubt its record being broken very soon!! - Google User
