While I was only able to attend twice due to foot and ankle issues (3 surgeries with a fused ankle), I felt like this program was well run, an excellent way to gain self defense skills and fun. The instructors and other participants were enthusiastic and welcoming. I would recommend it to anyone looking to gain confidence in self defense and overall fitness.

I attended an SKM trial class, unsure whether or not it was for me. I had absolutely no combat sport or martial art background and didn’t know what to expect. All I knew was that I wanted to learn self-defense. That was over two years ago, and I’ve been attending classes regularly since. Each of the instructors is incredibly knowledgeable and brings their own flare to teaching. The classes themselves are well rounded, and the learning environment is friendly and encouraging. My daughter attends their kid’s class, where they teach effective defense techniques in a kid-friendly fashion. Cannot recommend SKM highly enough!

Great instructors who teach effective no-frills techniques to defend and counterattack. There are no cliques nor pointless moves, and for a reasonable monthly rate (less than a gym membership) you can attend up to five classes per week. Be prepared to push yourself, it's well worth it. We highly recommend this for adults and kids.

Attended a women’s self defense class with my teenage daughters and their friends. We learned a lot and had fun doing it! As my daughter and her friends are heading off to college these are skills they need to have and hopefully will never have to use. Mark and Ken were great instructors. I would highly recommend this class for everyone!!!!

I've been training here for a few years now and have learned so much valuable information, not just in the self defense skills but also in what to be aware of in your surroundings and the kinds of situations that you may otherwise unexpectedly find yourself in. I always leave feeling like I've spent my time and energy on worthwhile training with instructors who are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what they're teaching. If you're thinking about trying it out, do it!

Great techniques and instructors. Not for the faint of heart, but that’s the point of having an aggressive workable defense technique. It’s a system used by the Israeli military - one of the best fighting organizations in the world.

I had been looking for a great fighting system like this for over 30 years, it’s aggressive, practical, and takes a little of everything from all areas of martial arts. You don’t have to be an athlete, you don’t have to be young - Krav Maga is designed for people of all ages and types. @Spartan Krav Maga instructors are patient, approachable, and knowledgeable without being arrogant and disrespectful - they teach for the pure love of Krav Maga and welcome questions and thoughts. It takes about 3-4 weeks to build up endurance and to understand how each fighting move builds upon another, but honestly this is such a good investment in yourself and you won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend SKM to learn how to defend and attack to protect yourself. 6 out of 5 stars!

I trained to learn and experience real fighting and defense techniques from armed attackers for a novel I was writing. I very much enjoyed the training, and I learned a great deal from the experience, which has provided me with great fundamental fighting skills. I can better defend my family, others I love, and myself. As long as my body can hold out, I will continue to train to get better, smarter, faster and stronger.

I feel that the class structure enables me to learn something. Even if the material has already been covered in an earlier class, I get the chance to coach a newer partner or have the opportunity to workshop modifications with a more experienced partner. I never felt like I was out of my depth if I was unseasoned and any outside training I had wasn’t insulted. Instructors never made me feel that I was lesser for being a student and didn’t let their superior position go their heads.

The environment is welcoming and friendly and the classes are challenging. Several instructors actively work in law enforcement so the skills taught here have proved effective in real encounters. If you are considering learning practical self defense or just want a good fun workout, definitely give this place a try!

SKM volunteered at a retreat I was at and I got to experience only an hour of what is offered at the facility. What I gained in that hour was astounding! After only one hour of learning just a few different ways to defend myself I walked out with a sense of empowerment and, quite honestly, freedom! My review would be too long if I went into the details of the healing that took place, so let me sag that I would HIGHLY recommend!!

The Spartan Krav team is so friendly while also making sure that you're learning what you need to and getting a great workout in!! I loved the skills that I learned while attending classes for 4 months, but sadly I moved away from the Lansing area and cannot attend anymore, or otherwise I would be. It's definitely a good workout, and I would recommend this class to anyone, especially anyone interested in self defense or just bored and tired of going to the gym and looking for a different kind of workout.

Great workout, plus you get to learn a little something. Not only the self defense, but also the legal stuff to do that you can protect yourself and not get into trouble..

Wonderful instructors! Justin, the owner, takes time to get to know his students, and is a very friendly person. Actually, all the instructors are friendly, but also offer hardcore warm up exercises, followed by lots of drills for learning the self-defense moves. I’m so glad Spartan Krav Maga is here in the Lansing area. If you live in the Lansing area, and are looking for ways to switch up your workouts while learning self-defense, try Spartan Krav Maga. You’ll enjoy it.

I attended the ladies Krav Maga class and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The information and physical training were excellent. All women in the area should go to this!

Spartan Krav Maga is a fantastic gym and style of martial arts. The classes are taught by eager, experienced, and very capable staff. Prices are more than fair for the training opportunities offered and the facility is very nice. I've 20+ yrs in different styles of martial arts and feel Spartan offers training that works In the real world and improves your physical fittness. It's physically demanding yet you won't notice the difficulty because it's fun, if that makes sense.

I’m new to Krav Maga but not Martial Arts. Spartan Krav Maga is a very good investment of your time and money. In each class I can get a workout that pushes me to my maximum and maybe an inch more and come away with very functional self defense tactics. The instucors have deep understanding of the curriculum and are passionate about what they teach and how it’s delivered. The students are welcoming and helpful when I’m not getting something. It’s a great place to train functional self defense and fitness.

I started taking classes here in August and it's the best thing I could've done for myself. Not only is it great exercise, but it's easy to learn, empowering, exhilarating, and all of the instructors and fellow classmates are helpful and friendly! It's good to know that I can protect myself with what I've learned in classes and I'm excited and inspired to push myself and reach my fullest potential physically and mentally because of Krav Maga.

The group of instructors are experienced and welcoming, each offering their own range of experiences (military/police/martial arts/etc.) and technical knowledge of Krav Maga. The class atmosphere is flexible when you can't keep up, and helpful to push you to keep doing better. I've been there for a year now, and I really appreciate that it's never 'sink-or-swim,' but 'push harder,' and 'here's what to work on,' especially with the level 2 sparring. I look forward to class for exercise, developing skills and seeing classmates.

Today I spent 4 awesome hours with over 75 women being empowered by Mark and Justin and crew! Thanks to Spartan Krav Maga for their leadership in helping women defend themselves. What a great way to spend a Saturday! My 16 yo daughter is hooked and will be headed to Midland on Wednesdays for more...! Thanks again SKM!!!

This class was awesome and taught me very practical and effective skills in self defense. I will be going again to the class in the fall. All of the instructors were great! It was fun and a good workout too. I recommend that moms take your teenage daughters with you. I definitely will in a couple of years.

I really appreciate the skills I acquired during the class that was brought to Putnam County, Ohio! Mark is an excellent instructor; I had taken a basic self defense class before, but nothing this extensive and informative-- it was awesome!! Thanks again!

Been doing Krav Maga for a few months now and it was exactly what I needed to break up the monotony of the week. More importantly it gives me even more confidence knowing I'm learning something that can help protect my family. The instructors know their stuff and care even more about your development. There's no egos just a bunch of close knit people who are willing to give advice and help along your progression. Great time and even better workout if you put in the work.

I started attending Spartan Krav Maga several months ago and can say that it was one of the best decisions that I have made. This self-defense system is easy to learn regardless of age, experience, or level of physical fitness. Additionally the practically of this self-defense system in potential real-world encounters cannot be understated. The instructors are knowledgeable and their method of instruction only enhances the class. Lastly, you will increase your level of physical fitness , since starting Spartan Krav Maga I have lost 10lbs.

Spartan Krav Maga is great for a work out, confidence and self-defense. The instructors are all talented, engaging and experienced. They take you through each move step by step and explain everything clearly...through example and then actual hands-on practice. It's also super close to Michigan State's campus, which is very convenient as a student.

As someone who has lived in rough areas of the world and has taken classes in mixed martial arts the transition into krav maga was something different entirely. Krav maga teaches not only the techniques an individual needs to protect themselves but also arms students with the mindset of a fighter. Krav maga acknowledges that fighting is not only a physical exercise but a mental one too and appropriately teaches students as such. I would highly recommend anyone to try it out and see for themselves.

This class is amazing. I look forward to it for multiple reasons. #1 The choke hold I endured as a kid that left me helpless that I now know how to defend against properly .#2 The work out that I receive that empowers me to out last a would be attacker. Weather it be physically , mentally or both. #3 My situational awareness that I thought was good is being honed to a new level. Instructors are all great, and truly have your best interest in mind. I'm grateful to have found Spartan Krav Maga. Look forward to every class. Often finding myself day dreaming of it the day before, excited about new material/techniques. This comes from a guy that's looking to protect his best interests...My Family. Do yourself a favor, check this class out!

First of all: awesome self-defense class. To be honest, this was the first time I really felt like I was learning how to defend myself, even though I have tried and practiced various martial arts for years before that. I'd also strongly recommend this class to anyone with no or very little martial arts background. The techniques and combatives are simple and intuitive, and most importantly the instructors are all GREAT!!! Without question I've learnt a lot, had fun a lot, and got into a lot better shape throughout the last year or so.

Thank You Spartan Krav Maga After years of Asian arts I wanted to try Krav but the distance to train was always to far. After one year of training with you I am totally hooked. Instinctive moves and mental toughness along with a great work out. It doesn't get any better.

There is not enough space here to give this class the praise that I feel it deserves. First off the system is simple and functional and real life. You can see right away that it will work and its easy to learn. Second if you push yourself to do everything that is asked of you then you will find that it is an incredible workout and will get you in great shape. The instructors could not be any easier to work with and are understanding of your particular challenges. I have been going for over a year now and hope to keep going absolutely as long as I can. I can not begin to convey the sense of confidence that this class has provided me with, and how good it feels to walk out of class after pushing yourself as hard as you can. Simply put I love this class.
