The Alleged Shortest Month of the Year

I thought I was sitting down to write an "End of February," post, but there's actually quite a bit of the month still left. We had two excellent workshops this past weekend: There were so many people in both rooms they barely fit on the mats! It's great to see so much dedication from the students at every level. Our Women's Self-Defense Workshop is this Saturday: Those have been reliably busy lately so grab your spot now . March will arrive eventually, so here's the workshops schedule for that month. It's very busy, and we have a level 1 test. Remember to take a test you have to pass the review first. Also note the addition of a level 5 workshop on March 23. That should do it for now. ....

February!

Hello everyone! It's February 4th, which means this short month is almost over, and Kraventines is already underway! Kraventines runs from February 1st to February 14, and is a competition between Krav Couples to see who comes to class the most in that time. You don't have to be a couple OUTSIDE of the studio, just two people that train together all the time and want to take their training partnership to the next level! This is how it works: You and your Krav Spouse will check in on social media together each time you come to the studio. Make sure to tag each other, and Krav Maga Raleigh. If you don't use social media we can help you with an alternative. At the end of two weeks we count ....

Can I Give Up My Resolutions Yet?

Good morning everyone! Short answer to the headline: No you can not. It's another wonderful week at Krav Maga Raleigh! We have one very big announcement for one of our members, an important pizza update, and the usual housekeeping on workshops and such. Read on! CONGRATULATIONS CHARLIE BAREFOOT!
The first and most important news is that one of our members is celebrating his 10th anniversary with Krav Maga Raleigh! Charlie has been with the studio since January of 2019, and has trained consistently ever since. We celebrated our 10th anniversary of the studio last year, and although that was a big deal, I think it's a far greater accomplishment for one person to stay so dedicated, ....

2019!

Good afternoon everyone! It's the first full week of 2019 and for better or worse, we're in it now! One of the many, many things I like is that, working at Krav Maga Raleigh, I don't have the same dread for coming back after vacation. As much as I enjoy time off and long vacations, January is such an exciting time at the studio because everyone is coming in to change their lives. I know that New Year's resolutions probably get more scorn than anything else these days, but when I see the big classes and tons of new members we've had already this year, I think it's fantastic. I am very excited about the opportunity to help people change their lives for the better this year! New Year, New ....

The Last Post of the Year!

It's finally here: The end of 2018. You've probably noticed the year is over by all the "Best Of," lists cramming up the internet. For us I'll just say that 2018 was a great year at KMR, and even though we spent the whole year taking apart and rebuilding the space, all of our members didn't let that stop them from being awesome! On Monday Dec 31 we have a mixed level and a fitness class at 12:15pm, and then we are closed until January 2nd where we resume with our full schedule! Please note that on Wednesdays, starting Jan 2, we have level 4/5 at 5:30pm and level 3 at 6:30pm. The existing 5:30 fitness and 6:30 Fundamentals classes are still on the schedule. That's really all we need for ....

Holidays at Last!

I don't know about everyone else, but for me, this December is taking a long time to get through. Normally once we hit December 1st I only blink a few times before Christmas, but not this year. However at long last, it really is the end of the year! Thank you to everyone in the Krav Maga Raleigh family who made this such a good year for us. I know the studio was in a constant state of repair the whole year, and we're finally getting to the end of that, so I'm very excited for 2019 when we can spend more time focusing on the program and less time rewiring every single electrical component in the building. There will be one change to the schedule starting in 2019. On Wednesdays we will ....

Congratulations and Holidays!

Good morning everyone! What a weekend of tests we had! Thank you to all the students for working so hard to prepare for the tests, and for their great performances. We also had lots of other members, friends, and family show up to cheer, and it was wonderful to have so much community support. And lastly thank you to all the instructors for working hard and doing such a good job preparing the students for this event. The quality of instruction really showed in the performances. You can see tons of pictures of the tests at this photo album . Hopefully over the last couple weeks you've noticed that we are finally putting the studio back together, like getting the ceiling back up and ....

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Kravmas!

Happy Monday everyone! We had a great week and weekend leading into December, with all kinds of reviews and workshops. Everyone was looking very strong in classes and reviews on Saturday, and we're on track for a great finish to the year. December is the time of year when most people start slowing down, and putting off things for the new year. That's fine in a lot of cases, but not with your training. Whatever goal you're going to make for the New Year (lose weight, get stronger, graduate to the next level) you'll get there faster if you're working on it now! We have two more weekends of reviews and workshops, and it's time for Kravmas! Dec 8
11:30am Level 3 Review Round 2 1:00pm ....

A great workout that builds both strength and endurance while you learn practical self defense skills. The classes are relatively small and accommodate men and women of all ages and skill levels. Scott and Mary are experienced, knowledgeable instructors that use real life scenarios to teach. Everyone is friendly and supportive. Developing the knowledge and skills necessary to defend yourself or your family in a bad situation provides a tremendous sense of confidence.

Rikki Graham

Krav Maga Wake Forest is a great place to get fit and learn to protect yourself. Mary and Scott are not only supportive of your goals but give you excellent feedback to help you do your best during training. They are not only amazing instructors, they are supportive friends. The other benefit is my classmates are amazing and supportive as well. Going to Krav Maga Wake Forest is the highlight of my day! I cannot stress how much I LOVE this place. I am so glad I found Mary and Scott and I can't wait to meet my goals with them. Give Krav Maga Wake Forest a try, it will change your life for the better!

Mark Castle

Looking for a great workout? Looking for a sell-defense/martial arts that really works? Check out Krav Maga Wake Forest. Scott and Mary are both fantastic Krav Maga instructors who really know how to teach. They safely show you how to handle dangerous situations.

Not sure if it is for you? Give it a try. It is so much more fun than running on a treadmill for an hour and you will burn twice the calories at a Krav Maga class.

I have been a student for over a year and love the place. You can also use the downtown Raleigh school for the one membership. The students are all normal everyday people (not crazy MMA fighters) - doctors, office works, vets, real-estate agent, designers...etc.
