Basically it’s a mask like in the picture, that has an adjustable band around the back of the head, a strong wire for the nose, and a pocket for you chin. It’s amazing to me how much of a difference it makes. It doesn’t come off when I train or talk, and I can ever wear it in grappling and BJJ and it ....

    Good morning everyone! We are in the last week of January, so that means February and Kraventines is right around the corner. Those of you who have been with KMR for a year or more will remember Kraventines, a partner-attendance competition we run every year in February. Basically you and your "Krav spouse" (any training partner from the studio) will team up and come to classes together. Historically the competition has been that the Krav couple that takes the most classes in February before Valentine's Day wins a a gift card to a very nice Raleigh restaurant.

Best place to learn Krav Maga martial arts style for self defense and self discipline hands down. Great instructors.. great community.. awesome facility. Not only that boost up your confidence but you will get in a perfect condition physically and mentally.

Tianna Sanders

I love Krav Maga Raleigh. I have been attending Krav classes for almost ten months now and I am so glad that I choose KMR. The Krav Maga Raleigh community is fantastic. The instructors are incredible and really make sure to explain and breakdown the techniques. They are also very personable and easy to approach if you have questions or need additional instruction. You can tell that they are enthusiastic about teaching and really want their students to succeed. The other students are awesome, friendly, and supportive. They are some of your biggest cheerleaders. I was nervous about joining at first because it looked intimidating but everyone was so welcoming and my fears quickly melted away.

KMR also has a great schedule featuring krav classes, fitness classes, and more. You will definitely have a great workout. The facilities are kept clean and the staff at the front are very helpful if you have any questions.

If you are serious about learning Krav Maga, having fun, getting in a great workout, and meeting an awesome group of people I would definitely suggest training here.
