Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a real, no-nonsense way to boost your confidence and master self-defense, Krav Maga is the answer. After spending six months in this course I can say it is one of the most practical and effective systems for today's world. The classes attract people from all walks of life, and the instructor, Luby, brings unmatched commitment, ensuring high-quality, realistic training that delivers results. Which makes every session worthwhile. ...Yes, it takes dedication, but the rewards are immense. I highly recommend giving Krav Maga a try if you are looking for the most effective form of defensive fighting for today's world. You won't regret it !

Fantastic experience: I did the intro course and most of a 10 week membership with Luby before moving abroad after I was recommended it by a friend and it was a great experience! Practicality-wise I liked how once you have bought a membership you can just turn up to whichever evening session you want, rather than having to book on in advance. I had done a bit of Muay Thai and boxing before but no Krav so Krav was totally new to me, but Luby and the other members made me feel welcome and safe. I really liked learning the de-escalation techniques in the intro course - useful strategies for general life I think! It was great to be able to learn some techniques in the sessions and Luby was great at explaining techniques clearly and then coming around and giving individual instruction, which I found really useful as a beginner. Even though I didn’t do it for long I have come away feeling a bit more confident in my physical skills and plan to continue doing Krav in my new city. Thanks Luby for giving me a great intro into the sport!

Fantastic experience: I attended a trial session and learned a lot of useful self-defence techniques. Luby the training director is very experienced and professional. Highly recommend for those interested in gaining more self confidence and self defence skills.

Fantastic experience: Krav Fighter offers a fantastic, friendly and supportive atmosphere , high quality instruction with clearly communicated techniques. This realistic self defence training will give you confidence that you could look after yourself if the need ever arises. The classes are very inclusive regardless of your fitness levels. I highly recommend giving a trial class a go. Thanks Luby

Positive experience: I'm sad to leave this review, but after a lot of reflection and being further on in my self-defence/martial arts journey, I feel it's important for other people to consider when training here. I will start by saying I trained with these guys for a couple of months and had a great time. Luby and the other instructors are good people with some useful tips and generally good philosophy. However, there were two very serious problems I think that ought to be considered by both the instructors and anyone signing up here. Firstly, one of my training sessions ended in a broken nose and a concussion. This was because my sparring partner was excused from wearing the required 16oz training gloves, which should have been checked and mandated by the instructors, rather than throwing a newcomer in with 16oz to fight someone with 4oz MMA gloves. Of course there are always risks with training Krav, but this was irresponsible on the academy's part and unnecessarily dangerous. What's more, I was left to drive myself to the hospital with a significant concussion, and told my nose would never be the same again. Secondly, I've come to realise how legitimately dangerous some of these techniques and lessons are for practical self-defence. Many of the scenarios taught are highly, highly unlikely (e.g. being held down on the ground, mounted in a particular way with a knife against your throat), although even in realistic situations the taught response is often an elaborate and specific 5-step manoeuvre to disarm someone with a deadly weapon. Not only are many of these trainings relatively pointless even if drilled perfectly, but I feel they breed false confidence for a situation that is more than likely going to get you hurt or killed in real life if you attempt these techniques. I've practised in karate, muay thai, BJJ, MMA, wing chun, studied knife attack scenarios, and dabbled in a smattering of other styles and courses around the world. I've been in street fights, boxing matches, had knives pulled on me in real life, and been humbled many times when I found out the hard way there is a big, big difference between skills in the dojo and being out there in the chaos on the streets. My experiences both good and bad at this academy will always stay with me, and for that I'm grateful, though I felt compelled to share my perspective and lessons here. For anyone signing up, Luby is a good guy and will do his best for you. Some of the training and techniques can still be worthwhile, but I think Krav itself inherently has a mix of both gems and bullshido. Just make sure you don't get pressured into dangerous forms of training (e.g. without proper PPE) or have high expectations for attaining ninja-like knife defence abilities.

Matthew joined us on 12/12/18 for only 2 months due to his pending trip abroad.While we take every injury seriously and continuously improve training safety, it is important to understand they're extremely rare. Any close contact activity carries a bit of risk, however our records show that majority of people that suspend the membership due to injury received it outside our training, at work, home, fitness gym, other sports etc.Matthew's injury happened on 23/01/19, at the end of Combat Striking, rather than Krav Maga class, during light sparring under supervision of instructor Charlie. Unfortunately the way Matthew and Tim moved ended in a bit more than light contact. In the email we received on 25/01/19, Matthew said he had a mild concussion and nose fracture, without mention of visit to hospital, which was just across the road within brief walking distance. Doctors typically advise avoidance of contact sport for up to 6 weeks after fracture, and 6 to 23 days after concussion, but we haven't been provided medical notes. Our records show that between 25/01/19, until the end of his membership on 11/02/19, Matthew attended 2 Grappling, 3 Krav and 1 Striking classes. It should be noted that person with serious concussion wouldn't be able to participate in demanding physical activity.We agreed with Matthew at the time that Charlie should have ensured parity in gloves, and spoke to Charlie to ensure this doesn't happen again. Charlie hasn't been teaching Striking Classes at Krav Fighter for few years now, and we've started a separate Striking Sparring class after Combat Striking class around mid 2019, which ensures only people comfortable with sparring attend. Hopefully, people viewing 16oz gloves an "unnecessary expense" when considering joining us will now understand why we insist on them.To train through our complete Krav Maga syllabus takes six months; at 3 Krav classes a week this is 78 classes, and you wouldn't be an expert at that point. Most people reach level 2, and only some can reach level 3, after training regularly for 6 months, provided they attend and pass their grading, where all their training up until that point comes into its own, under stress and pressure. We believe Matthew had good intentions reflecting on his training with us over 5 years ago, however he seems to have forgotten that he attended only 6 Krav Maga classes and intro course during his brief membership, while attending 2 Grappling and 5 Striking classes. If he trained Krav Maga regularly for few years with us, not just any place, and earned at least level 8 grade, then embarked on his journey where all the bad things happened, his impression of what Krav Maga is would be different.Due to 4k character reply limit, we can't get into specifics of Matthew's issues with a particular technique. Beginners often focus on physical part of technique, missing the enabling, behavioural part preceding it, which is an integral part of our training based on the study of criminal/victim behaviour. Some beginners also struggle with universal principles we explain during techniques, that are focused on minimising the damage and increasing chances for survival, with a goal of preparing people for the situations that are not exactly the same as in the technique practiced at the time. We can see how this can become an issue if only a small number of classes is attended.Our Krav Maga was specifically designed for the street chaos Matthew is referring to, and number one thing we teach anyone who wants to listen is not to get embroiled into the chaos, and to extract yourself from such situations as soon as possible, using Krav Maga skills if you have to, to survive, rather than 'win'. Nowhere either on our website, nor within our training do we promise 'ninja abilities', so we're confused where did Matthew get this from, as it certainly wasn't from us. However to reap benefits of training with us, you do have to commit to training, rather than 'dabble'.

Negative experience: Interesting experience and knowledge about the street situations and potential outcome. However low level of technical skills development, lack of equipment. There are no bags anymore since they moved to this new place. Also lots of hidden costs, like $90 for an enrollment class, buy gear, bad contract conditions, including the fact that they deduct money directly from your account, and they charge you one week extra after you terminate a contract with them, which I personally treat as a theft, but you can't do anything, as this a direct debit from your account and banks can't reverse it.

It saddens us that Nadiya Kovalova chose to make things up after all we've done for her. The only truth above is we do not use boxing bags any more. We find that muay thai and focus pads, shields and impact vests are far superior for striking skill development as bags don't hit back. For someone claiming boxing training in the past, making basic mistakes such as dropping hands, not retracting them back to the side of the face and not rotating hips despite our corrections, Nadiya is the last person we'd be looking for advice on the level of technical development. If she trained more regularly during her membership, she'd fix those bad habits.Contrary to Nadiya's claim, there are NO hidden costs when you commit to training with us. When people try a class, they get a full explanation of how we train, memberships and required equipment, and info sheet is given to them with all this information to take home. We have a range of memberships, and only people who prefer weekly payments are on contracts, which are pretty much standard including very short minimum terms and notice period. In any case, we do not hold a gun against people's heads to choose a contract; everyone has a choice, and contract is the last one out of three membership options offered.Our Krav Maga Basics introductory course is not $90, but $99; it is open to public and NOT by any means 'enrollment class' as claimed, as you can start training as soon as you join. However members do have to attend the course ASAP as it is fundamental part of our self defence system. This information is provided during the trial as well as on our website. Next course is scheduled for Saturday 06th of July 2024 9am-12pm, so make sure to book and experience it first hand. Let's get into why Nadiya wrote this vengeful review. She started a 3 month minimum term contract on 28/11/23. She advised us she doesn't want to continue training after minimum term, as she was hoping to leave NZ soon. We ensured the contract ends as requested. On her last day, 22/03/24, Nadiya changed her mind and said she'd like to continue. Why do this if you're not happy with training provided?On 11/04 Nadya sent us a termination email with 4 weeks notice, despite contract stating 30 days. We replied that notice has been entered into gym membership software and last weekly payment will be debited on 10/05. When asked for a reason for termination, including leaving NZ, Nadiya replied: "I am feeling unwell this week and not sure if I can come. Again, that's for you not to worry. I will take a sick leave and try to recover faster". She showed up for her last class on 09/05 and we wished her all the best in her future at the end of the class. To our dismay, we received SMS message on 10/05 accusing us of theft, demanding repayment of the last weekly membership. We tried to explain she was advised on the last payment date a month ago, and she didn't raise any issues all this time, that contract stipulates 30 days, not 4 weeks notice, and that her membership was payable weekly, rather than daily, which means even if her notice on the 1st day in the new week, the whole week gets charged by the system. Unfortunately, Nadiya wasn't willing to accept these facts, no matter how patiently we kept replying, so we told her that we don't consider further messaging to be constructive and left the conversation. She kept her harassment for few more messages, and we didn't hear from her until now. If Nadya behaved in respectful manner and asked for any clarifications of our acknowledgment of her termination notice during the notice period while she was still training, we'd likely have a different outcome as she could have amended her notice to take advantage of few sessions that last week. Instead, she chose to fire aggressive, accusatory and personally attacking messages after her membership ended, and when this didn't provide a result she was expecting, she stooped so low by writing a fake review.

Fantastic experience: Krav Maga saved me from a serious injury! Thank you and your teaching for helping me defend myself and avoid a horrible situation! Had it not been for Krav lessons where situational awareness and anticipation were drilled into us, I think I might have ended up with a nasty head knock and maybe had my possessions stolen. Thank you to the Krav Fighter team.

We have no record of any interaction with, or gym visit by "John". However, from time to time we do have people with criminal background or behavioural issues, with a bit of an attitude or self entitlement trying to get around our policies, and sure enough they do have a lot to 'criticise', especially the registration process (valid phone number required), trial class booking and cancellation policies that are clearly stated on our website and emailed for each online booking, and our club rules designed for safety of our members. We politely explain they are welcome to start their own self defence training centre and implement any rules they like, but to train with us, they have to follow our rules.

Fantastic experience: Krav Fighter is a excellent fighting and defence combat for rookies and pros. I did six months at Krav Fighter and learnt how to defend myself in a variety of sitiations while being realistic about approaching combat smartly. I reccomend Krav Fighter to anyone who is interested in learning how to defend themselves in real life situations from an instructor who is skilled, disclipined and patient with all his students.

Grace 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined Krav Fighter a few months ago with the intention of boosting my awareness, confidence and self defence skills before I head overseas. Having never done any form of martial art or self defence before, I was a little intimidated at first because other members were of course far more skilled. However, the sense of community here is amazing; everyone supports each other, and you feel like you're part of a family. Luby is especially lovely, patient and dedicated to helping you learn. Joel is also highly skilled and really helps you get your technique right. The basics training and gym sessions are all super informative and fun but equally intense - it’s a great way to get/keep fit! I've seen a significant improvement in my self-defence and fitness abilities in just a short time. I can't recommend Krav Fighter enough, particularly for women looking to harness their girl power A fantastic place to train and grow both physically and mentally. Gutted to be leaving - if I wasn’t heading overseas, there is no doubt that I would carry on training here. Thank you team, you’re all amazing ! ❤️

Lisa Bourgogne 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Attended the introductory course with Luby as the instructor who was extremely insightful in ways to react in social situations that may arise, very knowledgeable and friendly - clearly very passionate about teaching our group the basics of Krav self defence. The class was fun and I walked out more confident from just a single session and am excited to explore more with the trial classes. Definitely recommend.

Céline 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been training there for 3 months and I feel much more confident and aware in my daily life. Being a woman, I was a bit cautious at first but I found it to be a safe environment, the guys are kind and respectful. At each session you learn something useful, with the explanations as to why do it this way and not that way, in which situations to use it, etc. Any questions are welcomed and answered with details. This is helpful both physically to get in shape (which I was not) and mentally to feel safer and stronger. I highly recommend, even just to learn the basics, these are lifelong skills you'll be learning there.

Malia Reid 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This was the first self defense class I have attended and what a session! It was raw, Informative and just what someone like me needed to build confidence. I would recommend Krav Maga to any woman looking for their first taste in self defense to try it out you won't regret it.

Where safety is prioritised and prized by friendly and compassionate staff. Luby, especially has been kind and encouraging with a incredible breadth of knowledge and skill, but who is able to communicate techniques in a safe, empathetic and controlled environment.

Robert Grant 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I ❤️ KRAV FIGHTER! I first attended the KRAV Basics introduction course the a few topic specific workshops and the Level 1-4 two day intensive some three years back as I was unable to train during the week. Now I have finally joined and there is nothing like it. This is no nonsense self defence, with DEFENCE being the operative word. Luby makes it clear that survival and escape is the end goal. Never gratuitous violence. Safety is a priority too with protective gear worn or used when needed And what part of the technique to ease off on to avoid injury. The club has a welcoming inclusive environment. I highly recommend anyone to join. Rob Grant.

Nikita K 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was a female student at KravFighter and highly recommend this self defence class for other women. All instructors are very skilled, professional and facilitate a safe & welcoming environment for women to train in. I also found that people training in the class were very welcoming and respectful towards women; a testament to the values the instructors uphold. KravFighter is tough and you will be not given any special “exceptions” because of your gender, but I found that this was good to help prepare women with real world situations and even to help build confidence just walking on the streets or in the workplace. I trained in boxing for a short time years ago, but the techniques you will learn in KravFighter is unparalleled with boxing; unfortunately throwing a punch as a woman is not enough to get yourself out of a confrontation with violence, and Krav will teach techniques that are most advantageous to a woman’s smaller physique. KravFighter is not a fitness course, but is a workout in itself. I found a KravFighter class was just as gruelling but heaps more fun than a HIIT class - the time flies by so quickly as you’re not focussed on aesthetics but on trying to get yourself out of a dangerous situation. I personally did a mix of yoga and Krav classes and found that this balance of flexibility & functional strength was perfect for me! I had to leave KravFighter due to moving overseas, but will be back in a heartbeat if I am back in Auckland.

Desmond Crighton 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is a great place to learn Krav Maga...the instructors teach students to simulate real life situations and respond to them, starting from de-escalating the situation, to defence/offense and escape. If you're serious about taking control of practical self defense skills, this is the place to go.

Anna Brajkovich 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went in with no prior experience in any marital arts/fighting before and I was super happy to be trained to a level where I now feel much much more confident in being able to defend myself against an attacker. Also if you are a female worried about going- don’t be- when I did it was 50/50 women to men ratio!! Although its female friendly the course definitely pushes you to test your limits (but in the best way possible). Highly recommend krav maga for anyone looking for self training defence which is applicable to how an actual scenario would go down. Luby (the trainer) is lovely also, and its great fitness which is an added bonus!

Ralph Davies 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Luby and the team at Krav Fighter are very approachable and friendly in their training. Their classes are easy to follow and they ensure you are proficient and comfortable with any new techniques that you learn. Would absolutely recommend if you wish to learn self-defence, or want new ways to train your fitness.

Dvp Dvp 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you are thinking of joining this club, don't hesitate. I took a trail class and was immediately hooked. The trainers are all highly skilled and experienced and the club has a great atmosphere. The classes are well suited to those wanting to develop a range of practical skills and who are willing to step out of their comfort zone in a supportive and friendly environment. My only regret...I wish I had joined years ago!

FRANK RASCLAS 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Attended the Krav Maga intensive course with my daughter over the weekend what an amazing experience! Luby, our instructor, was very professional. He takes time to explain technique, willing to take it slow and work with you so that you learn everything correctly and safely. If you have any interest or are just curious I would highly suggest checking it out because these guys are awesome! If you want to learn an effective self-defense system, get fit, and train with a great bunch of people this is the club for you !!

I would recommend Krav Fighter to anyone who wants to learn self defence In a safe and friendly environment. Thanks Luby,Daniel, Clinton and all at Krav Fighter

Shaun McAuley 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Krav Fighter for five years now and love the intensity of the workouts that I get when I train here. This is real self-defence training rather than fitness only classes, however you will get extremely fit. I enjoy the physical contact during training that gives me and the confidence that the techniques I train will increase my chances of survival should the worst happen. In fact, I was randomly attacked few years ago and have successfuly used what I learnt at Krav Fighter to get home safely. Luby is an experienced instructor and is careful to ensure that safety precautions are taken during training. To maximise the benefit of training you should come as many sessions you can and participate in the variety of classes. I often train 4-5 days a week, but some people train only once to twice a week. I definitely see people who train more often progress much faster. I highly recommend training at Krav Fighter if you want to be challenged as you learn how to defend yourself and increase your skill, confidence and fitness.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking at starting a very practical and helpful self defense course, I highly recommend to try Krav Maga at Krav Fighter Club. Despite I wasn't new to Krav Maga (I practiced it for 2 years more than 10 years ago), I found this course extremely comprehensive and beneficial, more comprehensive than the course I've done in Italy. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and they explain the defensive reactions in a very good depth, showing all the possibilities that could occur during a real life attack/defense situation. I found this course very practical, as well as the physical preparation/warm ups included at the start of the class. Instructors and classmates are very welcoming and helpful. I'd definitely recommend to book the available double trial class and give this course a good go!

Fantastic experience: These guys are nothing short of great. After many years out of fighting, I joined this club and was the beat decision I made to get back in the game. Both Luby and Joel are amazing instructors, highly skilled and very patient and friendly. I’d leave a 10-star review if I could and everyone should really attend this club to get fit and get hard. Thanks for everything guys, always appreciated!

Fantastic experience: Awesome time training at KRAV FIGHTER. Realistic, streetwise self defense techniques taught in a safe and friendly environment with No ego, No judgment and No discrimination. The team of instructors are highly experienced and certified in multiple disciplines of martial arts and self defense and teach in a safe, relaxed and extremely professional manner. Contact the team and come along to a class to see for your self I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing place, where you can learn self-defence, get stronger, and have a laugh. The instructors are highly trained and genuinely care about your technique and safety. If you're thinking about giving Krav Maga a go, this gym would be a great place to start!

Positive experience: I have trained in many dojo's with many instructors over the years and I have to say that the guys at Krav Fighter rank as some of the best I've worked with. They combine a very strong knowledge and understanding of Krav Maga with a friendly, intense teaching style. Instructors also take time to work with you to correct where you're going wrong. A great place to come to learn this practical fighting style.

Fantastic experience: After deciding to step out of my comfort zone I got on touch with Luby from Krav Maga and any e mails I sent with questions I always got a prompt reply. The 3hr Introductory Course doesn't mess around. You learn skills that were well taught and would come in handy in a real life situation. The course does help with your confidence and the stiffness of my body the next day told me it was also a good workout. All in all I am glad I did it as I have now booked for the first Intensive Weekend. Don't think about it just do it. Cheers

Fantastic experience: Have had my first few classes here at Krav Maga. I have learnt a lot in just a few sessions - everyone is welcoming and it is obvious that the instructors are VERY knowledgeable and experienced in their craft. I would recommend going to Krav Fighter if you are looking to learn effective self defence and get in shape at the same time!

Giang Dang 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent instructors and training environment. I was really concerned in the beginning because the classes were challenging, however, the skills are definitely worth learning, especially for women. Krav Fighter's Instructors have helped me a lot to gain confidence in self defence skills and overcome my limits.

Fantastic experience: Loved my classes! Tried the trial package and already absolutely love it and joining! Even if you don't love martial art you'll get a great work out. If you're curious with the latest self defense tech or want a different style of martial art from the traditional ones this is for you! The instructors are very skilled and knowledgeable, top-rated and non commercial. very friendly classes - I really enjoyed my classes, thank you and keep up the great work!

Nathan Stone 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here for a long time. They have great coaches, great understanding of what they’re teaching and will constantly make sure you understand all the movements, breaking it down as needed. They always vary the sessions to ensure there is something different being taught. Great people and great specialised workshops. Constantly challenging you mental and physically.

G Skuzx 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Wow. I am definitely not what you'd consider the type to be in the class. A little chubby, very soft-hearted & someone who's quite terrified of threatening confrontation. However! I was made to feel like I could fit into the class just like the other members. I didn't feel excluded or discriminated against and I felt like they took me as I was without forcing any hard loads on me, but still ensuring I was not copping out. All in all, I would say if you definitely want to have realistic training from guys who truly care about you and you being able to de-escalate/eliminate a real life threat, you should try these guys!

Evil_ Rotary7 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Its been an intense and fun session with everyone Krav fighter, everything is straight forward and very relistic. This make a lot of sense to me as I do not need to think much in real situation, my body is already trained to react to it. Everyone made me feel like home although I am just a beginner, I will continue to work hard in order to protect myself and my family.

Kiwi Jace 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been wanting to try Krav Maga for some time & finally went for a trial class last night. I really enjoyed the lesson. It was professional & physical, & the camaraderie between students was great. I'll definitely be back for more.

Sanjay Patel 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Thought I'd use the free trial and see what Krav Maga was all about. We did some warm ups and got into the self defence aspect straight away. After the first session, I had already learned something valuable. I'd recommend it to anyone and just giving it a go. Even if it's just getting a taste of it.

Pratik Patel 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had my first trial at this gem of a place and I'm SOLD! These guys knows what they're doing and i had a great learning experience by picking up few new tricks just from my first session. This very first session gave me a glimpse of their passion in teaching this wonderful craft plus the practical self defense techniques that can be applicable in real world to keep us safe. I look forwarding to training with Joel and Luby again and would strongly recommend their expertise to everyone who wants to learn self defense to protect themselves and their loved one.

Enzo Dog 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Trained here for two months and return for the weekend intensive courses as I do not live in Auckland. Highly recommend this place and you will learn quickly that this is not a sport, it's a defence training centre. Loved every moment of it, has a range of great trainers and will put your fitness and skills to the test. Have trained in other martial arts but this is where I learned the most. The intensive courses are full on and well worth the weekend to test yourself. Am already missing my daily Krav class, Highly recommend!

Natcha D. 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Tried Krav Maga for the first time. Could not recommend enough. Instructors full of humour, skills, and were very attentive to every single one of us. Techniques were taught slowly, even added some extra ones for the more advanced people. Everyone in class was friendly and just awesome! A few new people too, so definitely didn't feel left out. Sweated heaps, rocking some sore arms!

Tatsiana 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Did my first Krav Maga class last Monday and I liked it! Everyone at the class made me feel welcome. Instructors are very knowledgeable and experienced, explain things clearly and straight to the point.They definitely know what they are doing :) I've found a lesson of self-defence and fighting techniques very useful and efficient, will come back again to improve my confidence, and skills, and learn more tips and tricks of how to protect myself and others.

Josh Matthews 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Attended my first free trial class of Krav Maga last Thursday and my first impressions are all positive. I was welcomed into the group as if I was already one of them. The instructors seem very passionate, confident and compitent with what they're teaching, and the other students were very supportive and encouraging of a total newbie like myself. If anyone has concerns about costs, I can vouch for the amazing staff at KRAV FIGHTER, that this isn't an organisation that's out to rip anyone off. They are on a mission to help keep people like you and I alive, and safe. Be warned, it's not supposed to be breezy. If you're not used to high intensity exercise, you may get an initial shock! I felt like passing out after the warm up but managed to get through the 90min session and I intend to go back for more. Whatever your reasons for looking into self-defense/martial arts/fighting systems, I would recommend giving Krav Maga classes with KRAV FIGHTER a go. Overall, great first experience. 5 stars.

Pablo Merino Veyl 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best Krav in Auckland. They have some of the highest trained instructors who push you each and every class. Course was informative, intense at times but structured so you can go at your own pace and enjoy. They also have a lot of equipment to practice. Massively multi cultural training team and a good social life as well. highly recommended, see you soon guys!

Oxford Lamoureaux 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Krav Fighter on Grafton Road is the best place to contact for anyone interested in learning Krav Maga. For anyone living in Auckland, they offer a free trial class which you'll take part in alongside their regular members, and I honestly can't recommend this place enough. The training is exactly what you'd expect, the classes and instructors are incredible in their knowledge, teaching, and ability to apply individual focus to every person taking part throughout the class. You'll get to train with a broad mix of people, men and women of different strengths and size, and every person I paired up with made me feel both welcomed and comfortable, without watering down their training just because it's your first time. Both the instructors and the students take their training seriously, without any ego and always with the attitude of helping each other and motivating each other to train at their best. If you're interested in learning Krav Maga, definitely take them up on the trial class - it'll be the best thing you've ever done in learning Krav, and you'll know within the first five minutes that you've found a community you'll love to be a part of.
