I visited here on October 19th I believe as a free trial class.
It was a 40 minute drive but I was willing to give it a try because its the only licensed Krav Maga studio here in Toronto.
When I went in, I was warmly greeted by the receptionist and she made it very welcoming for me. I was a petite young woman and there was hardcore men everywhere I was so intimidated. She assured me that everyone here is a beginner and that its okay to feel nervous. I finally met a girl there and we decided to be partners for the entire session.
We started off with really intense warm ups..omg! The coach paid attention to us, and he didn't push us beyond our limits. He was able to change up the routines so he made sure we were REALLY getting in shape.
When we began to learn KRAV MAGA, he was very specific about how to do everything. He watched every single group do it, and he even paid attention to another girl who was struggling so badly. He really cared that we understood the whole thing.
He showed us the moves and explained why they are good defense techniques which helped you get the hang of it a lot faster.
I definitely liked this experience. No rudeness, coaches and fellow students help you. Definitely FEMALE FRIENDLY atmosphere.
