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!!
Had an amazing time at the women's self defense class! I was nervous & felt silly at first, but it didn't take long to get warmed up & find my inner strength. It felt great to dish it out & beat up the training pads & I was sweating like crazy, but it never felt like exercise. Everyone was encouraging & welcoming, it was awesome! My daughter loved the kids bullying class, called it "Wonder Woman training" we can't wait to go again!
This school is by far the best!! We tried several and are so thankful to be here. Our daughter loves class and the instructors...they are fabulous role models. She is working daily on self defense, leadership, responsibility, attention to detail, discipline, strength, health and friendships.
My daughter joined in February and it has been a terrific experience with some wonderful instructors. I have Evan completed some Kettle Bell training with Anne who is an excellent trainer and very professional and proficient. I highly recommend this karate studio it’s a great place to train and even make some new friends.
Attended my first class and got one of the best workouts I have had in a long time. The skills that I learned in one hour are far and above what I had expected.

My son joined Kirk's 6 months ago and we can't speak highly enough of this establishment. Miss Anne is not only a phenomenal instructor, but a great role model that teaches the children self-defense, structure and most importantly, respect. I highly recommend Kirk’s!
I absolutely love the classes I have so much fun, and it’s a great opportunity for anyone to learn to defend themselves . I highly recommend this school especially for women. Don’t be scared or nervous the community is great and I feel so safe and respected here. I can’t wait to heal up from surgery to be back and active again
Great place! The staff and owners create a great environment for kids to learn. More than just self defense, my kid is learning discipline, motivation, self esteem, etc. Since joining, we’ve seen our daughter be less shy, speak up for herself, be more independent and assertive. We are so happy to have become part of this family! Thank you Mrs. Anne and Mr. Kirk!
My 11 year old grandson will be testing for his black belt this December. He loves attending class and he enjoys working the other kids and instructors. He made some good friends in the process. The instructors really work well with all kinds of kids personalities. If you want your child to learn good morals, discipline, protection skills, and have fun doing it this is where you want to go. Thank you Mr. Ernie and Miss Anne.
My 5 year old son seems to really like it and is doing well. He has gained confidence and knowledge of self defense. The owners and instructors are great and very generous.
My son joined Kirk’s about 2 months ago. He loves it, and wants to go every day! In addition to self-defense, the classes promote focus, respect, confidence, and fun. I particularly like that they incorporate a different ‘theme’ each month, such as goal-setting and integrity. The instructors are incredible; they go above and beyond to the point it’s like they are running a family, not a business!
My son has been thriving ever since joining Kirk's in January. It's the first activity he is actually excited about! Anne, Mr. Shan, and Ernie are great with the kids, and provide interesting instruction to keep them engaged while learning self defense.
We started taking our daughter to Kirk's during the pandemic, and both my wife and I were amazed at how engaged Ernie and Anne (the owners) are with the children in their kids classes. They take subject matter that can be intimidating to children and introduce it to them in a fashion that gets the kids engaged and practicing foundational movements in their first class. And not only do the children who attend their classes learn about self-defense, they also take home lessons about leadership, self-esteem, and treating others with honor and respect. I cannot recommend Kirk's enough.
Great instructors, super-helpful staff, great kids, awesome environment! They’re “tough” on the kids yet are kind and supportive, really invested in helping the kids grow. My son has been there for over 2 years and loves Kirk’s!
I am so impressed with Kirk's. On the my sons first day the way they greeted him was so sweet. He is shy and they went above and beyond to allow him to come out of his shell comfortably. All the staff knew his name when he came in the door which is so impressive because there were other students there and it was busy. My very shy son loves it and I truly cannot say enough about how kind they are.
Awesome training. I have trained here for more than 10 years. My kids trained there too and got their black belts. Ernie is simply the best (in the world) at what he does and his team is awesome too. I highly recommend to people of all ages and skill levels.
I have been training here off and on for almost 11 yrs. After taking a long break it was great to get back into it with the enthusiastic instructors who are excited to pass their knowledge along, see everyone grow and have a good time doing it. It’s respectful, instructive and a great time. I would highly recommend it.
