What is Kids Krav Maga? A Comprehensive Self-Defense Program
The Kids program is a unique training program specifically designed using both Karate, Grappling and Krav Maga styles and theories. Training includes systematic exercises and maneuvers to improve a child's mental and physical abilities. With Karate, students will learn discipline, focus and strength, while Krav Maga complements the training with a practical and realistic dimension.
The goal of this program is children's self-development through Martial Arts. The training program will teach basic defensive skills, and is not intended for or taught under a competitive environment. The Kids program has several age groups so that students can feel comfortable learning with other students their own age.
What Kids Learn
We teach a wide range of techniques (stand-up long range and close, clinch, grappling) to make our students well-rounded, and it makes our classes more interesting and develops all aspects of physical abilities.
Training Approach
All our games and drills have a technical purpose and contribute to the martial art skills gained by the young martial artists. Students are trained to complete challenges successfully and safely.
What Makes KravZone Different from Other Kids Martial Arts Schools?
Age Group
The KravZone differences in Kids' Curriculum are defined by kids' Age. At KravZone, we divide our groups according to age groups (5-6, 7-8, 9-12, and Teens). We apply to every age group the appropriate teaching methods as defined by sports education best practices standards. Each age group is taught different levels of drills according to their age.
Variety of Techniques
We teach our students just techniques that work! We teach a wide range of techniques (stand-up long range and close, clinch, grappling) to make our students well-rounded, and it makes our classes more interesting and develops all aspects of physical abilities. All our games and drills have a technical purpose and contribute to the martial art skills gained by the young martial artists.
Non-Competitive & Safe
Building Winners in a Fun non-competitive environment. We focus less on formalities, ceremonies, and "show" rather we develop self-discipline and self-confidence by working hard and setting achievable challenges for our young members. Students are trained to complete them successfully and safely.
Teamwork
There are many interactions between our students. Most of the drills in class are for couples or groups and fewer individuals. It gives the kids better social abilities, it brings the great values gained by teamwork, friendship, and sportsmanship. And again, more interesting.
No Hidden Fees
At KravZone, there are NO extra fees or hidden premium fees for belts and degrees. This became an upsell mechanism in most other martial arts schools for kids. We don't charge for belt tests because payment is due. Rather, kids get their degrees when they deserve them.

From Master
Shlomi Katz
“The unique nature of the Kids program at KravZone comes from my Master, who holds a Ph.D. in Kids Physical Education and is a leading authority in the Wingate Institute, Israel's National Center for Physical Education and Sports. I have endlessly refined this program through the vast number of kids I have instructed over the years. Many of my students that started with this program continued to learn and train individually in martial arts and have gone on to win various competitions.”

What parents say
Great instructors, friendly people, teen and kid classes. Plus they offer strength and conditioning classes.
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!
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.
Wonderful place empowering for kids, teens and adults. Great workout. Just go try it out.
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.
This place is awesome and vary legit!!!! ,hope to go back soon. It is vary tuff but fun!
