Soma contacted me right away and answered all my questions. I went to my first class and the vibe was very welcoming and friendly. The instructor Matt Strack was very informative and demonstrated the techniques very clearly. The other students are nice and helpful and don't try to injure you when you roll. This Jiu Jitsu is a little different from what I was learning back home but it's very legit, practical and effective. Before I forget the gym seems clean and well maintained.

The kids chosen to be part of the Elite Team is a daily, monthly, years ...it's a working progress, the students earned with dedication, respect, growth, and challenges, that each of them had to encounter to become better. My son is now part of the Elite Team, and all I can say is because he wanted it...he earned it! & it didn't happend overnight. Sensai Demian pushes them to the next level and as a result they get better in Karate and personal determination to "never give up", In a healthy way. In conclusion, Karate is not for everyone.... it's a calling, the reason that I say that is because I lived it and live it daily with my Son. As an educator myself I belive in positive dicipline, respect, and structure at the environment our students are, and I see it daily at DBK Dojo.

I've been looking for Krav Maga classes for about a year now and wasn't able to find very much in…read morethe Dayton area, recently I found out that training is being offered and unlike other facilities in Dayton they offer only Krav Maga, not a blended form. For those of you who are curious, Krav Maga is a form of self defense / martial arts that orginated in Isreal in response to real world situations, it's still used today by the Isreali Defense Forces, law enforcement agencies, and military forces around the world, as well as for practical self defense for everyone. This particular training is held at the Dayton Jewish Community Center (the class is open to anyone however), currently sessions are on wednesdays from 7-8pm, a second training night is being considered. The founder and instructor Tim Tharp is very friendly and knowledgable, he made me feel very welcome. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I arrived but after the initial waivers were signed I was encouraged to jump right into the class and start learning (the first class is free by the way!). In just the one class I learned a few very practical techniques that I could use in real world situations, this is what drew me to Krav Maga in the first place. While there are many forms of martial arts to choose from, I wanted one that was more than just earning belts and strict technique, Dayton Krav Maga has satisfied that requirement very well. Don't hesitate to check them out, the training is for young, old, male, female, anyone could benefit!
