Sifu Brown is an incredible teacher whose enthusiasm and over 35 years of experience makes for a great class every time. The people that attend the school are great partners no matter what size you are or what shape you are in athletically. We take classes with all adults but they have kids classes as well. Beyond learning to defend myself in rigorous classes that not only engage me physically but mentally, I have learned the benefits of meditation and have seen a positive change in myself and my life overall. Let's be honest, going to the gym sucks! If you are looking to get a great workout, feel inspired, learn to defend yourself and/or improve the quality of your life - I highly recommend it!

He came in early to give me a lay of the land, and kept in contact with me when I fell off the face of the planet.

It's a top notch and very clean space, and the class times are some of the most convenient I've seen.

I look forward to the years to come and can't wait to see all of the skills my kids will acquire. My kids loveee Krav Maga and are so excited for each and every class. I'm very confident that my kids will have the knowledge, skill & confidence to defend themselves if ever need be. I can truly go on and on.... from start to finish each class I'm just in awe. My only regret is not starting sooner! The staff is incredible and the owners are such genuinely good people. You can tell they love what they do and are very good at what they do!! I love love love being a part of Krav Maga and I would without a doubt recommend Krav Maga to any adult or child! Thank you Krav Maga - Christina & family

Their weapons defense class looks like something out of a comedy, and they don't teach you how to throw a proper punch. their courses look like they're designed for 50 year old moms, learning self defense. If you are a young guy that wants to know how to fight better for whatever reason join mmt in Rochester hills instead of your nearby. Krav Maga has always struggled to gain the same recognition as other martial arts. The only positive thing I can say is they have weights and the cancellation process was easy.

Lots of other places have a 30 minute time, but this class is between 45-60 minutes, depending on how long it takes to finish the lesson- not when the time is up. I really like and appreciate that. The instructor, Steve, is awesome and very patient with the kids. And I love how he always relates the Jiu Jitsu lesson to the real world. Can't wait to continue our journey here.

They are upfront with what they expect from you and are a constant helping hand in taking you to places you never thought you could reach in your training. As someone who works out regularly I am still able to get a great workout every class. At no point have the classes got "easier" and I leave just as exausted as the first class I took. It is a training where you can push yourself every class and expect results, both mentally and physically. Working an office job, karate provides me the perfect stress relief from a corporate position. I can clear my head and focus on myself for an hour or two. I can go on and on of the benifits that karate has provided to my life and well being, but each person is different. Come on in and see what karate training can provide to you.

I've used reviews literally hundreds of times in my purchasing decisions, yet I've come to the…read morerealization that I never write them. In an effort to pay it forward, I decided to start by reviewing a place I feel people need to know about. The dojo in Clawson MI is a place you must check out. The instructors there (Sensei Rob and Sensei Laura) are top notch and have all the traits you could possible seek (highly skilled, passionate, knowledgeable, patient, and just really good people). I've known them for the better part of the last 15 years and can honestly say few people have made more of a positive impact on my life than they have. Aside from the great instruction, the fellow students there are truly a joy to train with. It's humbling when you see them show as great of an interest in your development as they do with there own. You find yourself growing/developing within the group and new friendships are one of the many results. I feel very fortunate that I have gained some great friends over the years through training. You should expect the same. In addition to getting some good exercise and learning/developing self defense techniques, I personally find this place a great mental refuge and a way to get away for 90 minutes from the daily grind. When you train you don't think of that project at work, class you might have a test in, lawn in need of being mowed or your cable/phone bill....you just think about the training. You may, like me, find this to become almost essential to a healthy life. So you've read this far, isn't it about time you just go up there and try a class out for yourself? One of the first things Sensei Rob ever said to me was that the hardest part of training is walking through the door. Once you are there it is easy. While I wasn't sure about that comment at the time, I found it to be very true (in other things as well). Some of you may have driven by the dojo already....contemplated coming in. My hope is that this review will give you the motivation/desire to take that toughest step and walk through the door to give this place a try. I am sure you will thank me later!
