Our primary focus is on the fundamentals, which is just as important for our black belts as it is our white belts! We find that having mixed-rank classes works fantastically, as our higher belts are able to direct the lower belts; you get one-on-one help, and your partner gets a more in-depth perspective by having to teach the technique!
This is the BEST training I've EVER had! Everything from the physical, to the psychological - even the emotional aspects of who I am are being developed in ways I thought would never be possible. Before finding Kirk's, I was on my way to train in ways that would absolutely destroy me as a person in the worse ways possible. Don't get me wrong, the training is absolutely challenging, it's not easy, but their philosophies help build you up in ways that it will have you reflect on some of your worse/traumatic times, and use it to be more than you could ever imagine. From day one, they treat you with respect. Day two, more like an adopted family member. Day three, you get a nickname. Day four, you're expected to be consistent. Day five, you personally feel like you belong. Day six, you feel like you're family! I'm getting more understanding and skill enhancement from here than I ever thought possible. Anne and Ernie know what they're doing!! Trust them as you trust the process! Lol and it's not "just" exercise!
My experience at Kirk’s Krav has been amazing. Great instructors with diverse/unique backgrounds create an experience that you can’t find somewhere else. The training is approachable and incredibly engaging, even to a non-athlete like me. Everything you learn has some sort of real-world application and it is much more than just combatives: You are learning how to avoid confrontation and deescalate when possible; how to be aware of your surroundings whether you’re going to your car at night or walking through a crowded city with your family; and of course, how to defend yourself whether you are carrying groceries or holding hands with your kid. It is also amazing cardio without the monotony of the treadmill. Best investment in myself I’ve made all year!
What a great place to learn how to safely defend yourself and get away from a bad situation. Practicing for "What if?" is the smartest way to protect yourself and the ones in your life you care the most about. Kirk's Martial Arts has something for any age and any skill level. Totally recommend!!
