KRAV ZONE PROGRAMS FOR ADULTS
KravZone's kickboxing program is built on the foundation of full-contact karate, blended with modern Muay Thai, boxing, and the tactical striking used in MMA. Founder Shlomi Katz holds a 7th-degree black belt in full-contact karate. During his coaching career in Israel, his students competed and won at the highest levels of European Kyokushin karate and national Muay Thai. Today he and the KravZone team bring that same depth of striking instruction to Sunnyvale and the greater Bay Area.
walk confident. Walk brave.
UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL WITH KICKBOXING
Whether you're new to striking or an experienced fighter, our kickboxing program meets you where you are. Beginners learn stance, footwork, and the fundamental strikes — punches, kicks, knees, and elbows — through pad work and partner drills. As you progress, you'll learn to chain combinations, manage range, work the clinch, and handle pressure under controlled sparring.
THE ART OF STRIKING AND SELF-DEFENSE
Kickboxing at KravZone covers all three striking ranges — long range with kicks, mid-range with punches and combinations, and the clinch with knees and elbows. You'll drill techniques live, hit pads with experienced training partners, and once you've earned the rank to be ready, spar in a controlled, technical environment.
What sets our program apart:
- Coaching from instructors who have produced champion fighters at the international level
- Sparring that's tough but technical — no ego matches, no unnecessary damage
- Tailored feedback based on your body type, goals, and skill level
- A serious workout that builds real cardio, strength, and flexibility
You'll leave class fitter, sharper, and more confident in how to handle yourself standing up — whether your goal is fitness, competition, or just being able to defend yourself if it ever comes to that.
Practical self-defense for you

What your students say...
Great instructors, friendly people, teen and kid classes. Plus they offer strength and conditioning classes.
My daughter and I really enjoy doing the Krav and cub classes. My only complaint is that our class starts late almost every time and the time does not get...
Loving it. I've been with them for 3 months and every instructor is super helpful. Definitely recommending and continuing here.
Coach Tyler will show you world class technique straight from Caio Terra 10X world Champ, highly recommend his no-gi grappling class if you are a beginner or intermediate. Gym is super nice and Krav coach is really professional. Dont miss Tuesday, Thursday and Friday Grappling, imma be there!
Fantastic gym with some of hands-down the experienced and qualified martial arts experts I've ever trained with. There's punching bag/fitness classes for...
Efficient, professional, and very friendly instructors, all the equipment you need, and great students! On one hand I don't want to tell anyone about this gem because the parking lot will get crowded. On the other, I can't not recommend this dojo. First class is free, so come and see for yourself 🙂
This gym is perfect for anyone wanting to learn martial arts for what ever reason. Although they do not offer boxing, kickboxing or mma tournaments, they are ready and willing to help you find one. Or, if you choose to learn Krav for self defense purposes, the instructors are amazing about that as well. Overall one of the best places to learn martial arts and very highly recommend, with amazing instructors and facilities.
Amazing place. Love everybody here. Very useful class for REAL defense. I did taekwondo before and Krav is more for street fight scenario.
I have been coming here for four and a half years. I don't think I knew what real self defense was before I came here. Shlomi and Tomer, the two main instructors, both served in the IDF. This isn't the place where you learn kata or other techniques that only work in karate movies. Here, you're going to learn how to REALLY survive on the street. When I first came here, I had already spent 4 years in a Tae Kwon Do studio, but I eventually realized it was black belt mill. I can say with confidence that this is not a black belt mill. I failed one of my belt tests, which may seem like a negative thing, but it shows that they aren't here to take your money and give you a belt. This is a place where you earn your belts. There are also other classes you can take advantage of here, like kickboxing, BJJ, MMA, and fitness classes.
Shlomi Katz is an amazing instructor with high level teaching skills, great Krav Maga and a friendly and inspiring person to spend time with. Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for the best Krav Maga instructor and coach in Martial Arts.
I have been training at KravZone in Krav Maga and Jiu Jitsu for over a year. There are plenty of class options for both beginning and experienced students. Shlomi, Tomer, and the other trainers are professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Additionally the student community is helpful and inviting. I highly recommend KravZone if you're looking to try martial arts for the first time or looking for a new place to train.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any experience to start kickboxing at KravZone?
No. Most students start as complete beginners. Beginner classes focus on stance, footwork, and the fundamental strikes — punches, kicks, knees, and elbows.
What's the difference between kickboxing, Muay Thai, and karate?
Kickboxing typically uses punches and kicks. Muay Thai adds knees, elbows, and the clinch. Full-contact karate is striking under contact rules with karate's stance and timing. Our program blends elements of all three.
Will I have to spar?
Not until you're ready. Sparring is introduced gradually, and only with consenting partners at the appropriate skill level.
What should I wear to my first class?
Athletic clothes, MMA shorts or workout shorts, and a mouthguard if you have one. We provide gloves and pads for your first class.
