About
KravZone Kids & Teens Programs offers training in Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), kickboxing, MMA, Kids Krav, Kids Kravfit, and a no-gi grappling class. The programs also include strength and conditioning classes, parents and child Krav Teens sessions, and self-defense training.
• Ages: 5–17 years old
• Price: All-inclusive Membership Plans With No Hidden Cost; At KravZone, there are NO extra fees or hidden premium fees for belts and degrees. We don't charge for belt tests because payment is due.
The kids and teen programs are described as unique training programs specifically designed using both Karate and Krav Maga styles and theories, and for ages 5–12 they combine Karate, Grappling, and Krav Maga. Training includes systematic exercises and maneuvers, basic defensive skills, and a wide range of techniques including stand-up long range and close, clinch, and grappling. The program is described as fun and non-competitive, with several age groups (5–6, 7–8, 9–12, and Teens) so that students learn with others their own age, and most drills are done in pairs or groups. All games and drills are stated to have a technical purpose, and the program applies age-appropriate teaching methods as defined by sports education best practices standards. Kids get their degrees when they deserve them, and there are no extra fees or hidden premium fees for belts and degrees.
The stated goal of KravZone Kids & Teens Programs is children's self-development through martial arts, with a focus on mastering technique and control within a friendly environment and prioritizing skill over strength. KravZone notes that it focuses less on formalities, ceremonies, and “show,” and that beyond martial arts it offers specially designed fitness classes at no extra cost aimed at enhancing fighting capabilities through improved mobility and strength, with attention to injury prevention. KravZone reports that more than 1,000 kids have been trained since opening, with over 250 kids currently enrolled, and that the leadership brings 28+ years of teaching experience and 40 years of martial arts experience for Master Shlomi Katz.
Master Shlomi Katz is the owner and head instructor, and serves as program director. He has been training in martial arts for almost 40 years and teaching youth and adults, civilians and soldiers, for over 25 years, including serving as a fighter in special forces and as the head of Krav Maga and counter-terror training at the Counter Terror School (CTU), and as the representative and chief instructor of Wingate Krav Maga in the United States. He holds a master degree (black belt Dan 7) in Meijin Kai and a Black Belt Dan 6 in Krav Maga. Instructor Beth Mumford holds a Black Belt in Krav Maga, trained under Shlomi Katz, completed KravZone's Instructor Training Course in 2016, and teaches adult, kids and teen classes, the Krav & Cub (parent/child) program, and private lessons. Director of physical fitness Travis Latham is a KravZone black belt and Krav Maga certified instructor, leads the KravFit program, has over 10 years of experience as a certified personal trainer, and is a certified CrossFit trainer, NASM personal trainer, corrective exercise specialist, and performance enhancement specialist; in 2014 he was a CrossFit competitor ranked in the top 10% worldwide.
KravZone reports a 4.9 stars average parent rating. The program offers a free tryout kids martial arts class and states that the first class is free. KravZone also runs corporate workshops that use self-defense training to boost teamwork and communication for companies such as Big Panda, Intel, Google, Nova, Juniper Network, Survey Monkey, Space IQ, Uhana, JFrog, Applied Materials, and Accenture. One parent review notes “Great instructors, friendly people, teen and kid classes. Plus they offer strength and conditioning classes.” Another review highlights the no-gi grappling class and describes the Krav coach as really professional, and another simply states “Travis is AWESOME.”
