Our mission
Good habits formed at youth make all the difference.
Our Teens Krav program is focused on equipping teenagers with essential life skills through self-defense training. It emphasizes physical strength, mental resilience, and personal safety, helping them navigate the challenges of their changing bodies, newfound independence, and evolving social dynamics. The instructors teach practical techniques for personal safety while also fostering discipline, confidence, and awareness, ensuring that teens are prepared to protect themselves and confidently face real-world situations.
What people say
What started as a way to get exercise and positively direct energy was becoming a philosophy of life that made me healthier in all aspects and started to influence my academic interests and passions. Krav Maga has taught me focus, discipline, and patience, which have helped me grow as a learner and a student.

Why Krav Maga?
Confidence based on skills & awareness
Our Teens Krav Maga program is specifically designed to provide teenagers with the right balance of confidence-building and realistic self-defense training. While it’s essential to instill self-assurance in our students, it is equally important to provide them with a clear understanding of the challenges they may face in real-world situations.
Confidence Through Practical Training
We focus on developing both physical skills and mental resilience in teens. Our progressive approach introduces self-defense techniques that give students the ability to defend themselves in various scenarios. This process naturally builds their confidence as they realize their growing capability to protect themselves and those around them.
Reality-Based Scenarios for Real-Life Challenges
However, true preparedness involves more than physical strength. To counter the risk of overconfidence, our program incorporates reality-based simulations. These carefully crafted scenarios mimic unpredictable and high-pressure situations, demonstrating to teens that self-defense is not just about physical prowess but also about awareness, decision-making, and knowing when to avoid danger.
A Balanced Approach to Growth
By balancing empowerment with a grounded understanding of real-world risks, our Teens-Krav program helps young people develop a healthy sense of confidence. We emphasize the importance of staying humble, alert, and open to continued learning. This well-rounded approach equips our students not only with enhanced self-defense skills but with a greater awareness of their surroundings and a realistic understanding of personal safety.
This holistic training approach fosters growth, discipline, and a responsible mindset, equipping teens to navigate both everyday challenges and potentially dangerous situations with poise and preparedness.
Setting Boundaries & Reinforcing them
Learning boundaries during the teenage years is crucial for personal growth and development. As teens navigate new social dynamics and increase independence, understanding and setting boundaries helps them protect their physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Establishing healthy boundaries teaches teens how to communicate their needs clearly, respect the boundaries of others, and foster mutual trust in relationships. Developing this skill early promotes resilience, self-respect, and stronger interpersonal connections as they move into adulthood.
Help them define their space & own their strength.
Building Confidence, One Class at a Time
Confidence is the cornerstone of self-defense. But confidence doesn’t come from just knowing how to throw a punch—it comes from the knowledge that they can handle themselves in any situation. Our training focuses on building that confidence. With each class, they’ll learn not only how to defend themselves but also how to assert, set boundaries, and trust their instincts.
We create a supportive environment where your child can grow at their own pace. There’s no judgment, no competition—just a community of teens committed to building themselves and each other.
