I've been a student at TKM for a few years. Given my son's interest from watching me practice krav, we were both excited when the school opened up the Hero Academy.
My son has been attending for a few months now and absolutely loves it. The instructors are top-notch, continuously learning from and contributing to the global krav community and cross-pollinating with other disciplines, and the community around is great and supportive.
Hero Academy focuses on qualities that are important for every child to learn: personal safety, self-improvement, health and well-being, and respect. This isn't a place where parents send kids into another competitive event to see how their kids stack up and brag about them. It's a place where children can simultaneously have fun and learn to be better people.
To anyone who discounts online reviews that are all positive, I'd encourage you to check out a couple Hero Academy and TKM adult classes, talk to the instructors, and then go do the same at a few other self-defense studios in the area. If you're interested in practical self-defense and self-improvement for your child, I'm pretty sure I know where you'll end up enrolling. See you soon! read more
