Classes include martial arts workouts, fitness training, and seminars that use Krav Maga techniques as a practical self-defense system. Krav Maga training at this program focuses on simple, effective techniques for real-life situations rather than points or competition, and each student works at his or her own pace toward individual goals.

The kids martial arts program focuses on courage, confidence, focus, teamwork, and the ability to overcome challenges. Training is described as practical self-defense that builds confidence, awareness, fitness, and self-defense skills that carry over into everyday life. The school emphasizes life skills, character, confidence, self-esteem, discipline, and positive character traits in kids. Classes are described as fun and friendly, with a supportive, positive atmosphere and a sense of camaraderie and encouragement among students and instructors. The belt system in Krav Maga at this school is described as a source of inspiration and encouragement rather than intimidation, and student coaches work with visitors and new students as they improve. The school describes itself as more than a martial arts studio and as a family, and it offers a VIP Experience so prospective students can see how the school can help before making a decision. The training philosophy is based on being able to deal with physical conflict and go home safely, and the overall mission is to support each student’s journey to learn self-defense skills while getting in the best shape of their life.
