My only complaint is that our class…read morestarts late almost every time and the time does not get made up because another class starts right afterwards. I do agree that it's good to warm up before starting classes but I feel that there might be too much time running back-and-forth. Occasionally it feels like a way to keep us busy while they are speaking to other people. We've had a couple classes with Beth, she is very nice and patient with the little ones. Travis was our main coach for a few months and I can tell the older kids work better with him. They only have beginner and advanced classes. It would be nice to have an intermediate class as well. I think in general more classes would be helpful as you cannot graduate to certain belts unless you are taking two classes a week. We signed up for a year and will plan to continue for as long as possible. I do recommend this place. * updated to add that now that school has started, they just brought in another trainer (Shlomi) to teach the older kids since the class size has doubled. He is very good at teaching new techniques properly. I feel that he is the best match for my yellow belt 8 year old.

My experience with their kids' program has been nothing short of exceptional, hats off to the incredible instructor, Travis! From day one, it was evident that Travis was not only highly skilled in Krav Maga but also knew the knack of teaching and working with children. Whether a child was struggling with a technique or excelling at it, Travis was present very watchfully, providing guidance, support, and positive reinforcement. One of the things that stood out to me the most was Travis's ability to create a supportive and encouraging environment for the kids. Moreover, he has a unique talent for breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-understand steps, making it accessible and observable for children of all skill levels. What stood out to me in particular was his own values, principles and attitude which in my opinion are of paramount importance especially while teaching life skills to others. Beyond his technical expertise, Travis also instilled important values such as team work, discipline, respect, and self-confidence in the children. Through his teaching, my child not only gained valuable self-defense skills but also developed a sense of empowerment and self-assurance that extends beyond the mat. Beth, who is also an instructor and helps with the front desk, is extremely patient and helpful with any questions and a great teacher herself from the classes I've observed! If you're considering enrolling your child in Krav Maga classes, look no further than Krav Zone!

They are both more aware and more in control of their bodies, which was a big deal for my older girl, as she sprouted quickly and lost her confidence and her ability to control her new body in the same way that she had when she was younger. Learning the specific skills, as well as getting great coaching, meeting new friends and having fun has been a major confidence booster for both of my girls! They love coming each day and even continue practicing with their dad at home on new skills they are perfecting. They love sparring with their peers at different levels of skill and push themselves to improve daily. Triune has been a major positive influence to their confidence, their listening skills, and their attitudes towards everything! They absolutely love coming daily and plan to continue working towards more advancement. The coaches are phenomenal and pay special attention with the smaller ones and make sure the kids are pushed, but safely and effectively, so they learn and are eager to be able to do more. Every day is different and all levels working together allows the newcomers to gain skill while the more advanced practice and learn - it's a really good set-up that I was originally unsure of, but it works! My girls get to work with more skilled kids and it pushes them to want to be better! When working with the younger, less skilled kids, mine are better able to hone their technique of the moves and more skillfully apply that knowledge when sparring. No day is the same and they get bummed when they miss a day! Triune is THE best thing I've done for my kids!! They love it and it's helping them outside class, even when they don't recognize it!! 5 STARS AND THEN SOME!!

Caio invests so much time and energy into making precise videos for our learning. I really appreciate how much he cares about our jiu-jitsu. The academy is really the cleanest, nicest academy I've ever trained in. Caio even put ergonomic chairs and desks for us to study and places for families to sit. He cares about the environment very much. He even had the team create a wall after a truck drove into the academy, just to make sure that nobody missed training, which is so important for our mental and physical health.

I was previously focused on only powerlifting, and although I thought I was strong, I was massively out of shape. I was looking for a place nearby, and have always wanted to train Jiu Jitsu after watching the UFC. Professor Alberto and all the coaches are professional and instructive. At the same time, Alberto knows how to motivate each student to achieve their goals. He doesn't have a cookie cutter approach, and knows how to squeeze the juice out of each person. Whether your goal is to get in shape, be more proficient at grappling, compete, or just have a community, it's highly likely Daruma would be a good fit. If you're in the Sunnyvale area, highly recommend you check Daruma out.

Ilya's Hyrox and Fighter Flow classes are fun and a great workout! He also has a cook book that explains easy and healthy recipes! Manny's Boot Camp/kickboxing classes are always intense and will leave you sore. James' DEKA class was creative, hard and definitely worth a try! My son has enjoyed the Kids Krav classes....thank you James, Andrea, Anh and Marziya for teaching the big group of kids! I love watching him come home and practice and share what he learned. We often compare what we are all doing in class during the week. I can't forget Neal, the owner! And Carrie at the front desk! They always make us feel welcome and at home! I joined the Locked In For Summer Challenge that they organized at ASD. It has helped me stay focused on my nutrition and fitness goals. And has helped me meet some new friends!

What I really liked about this gym was the variety of classes they offer. You can try different types of workouts and figure out what you enjoy without having to commit right away. They also let you borrow gloves and other equipment for free during the trial classes, which I thought was a really nice touch. I ended up trying the HIIT and DEKA classes, which were my favorites, and most of the coaches I had were really great. Unfortunately, my experience with one of the kickboxing classes wasn't as good. I specifically asked multiple times beforehand if it was okay that I was a complete beginner, and I was told that it was totally fine. However, when I showed up, pretty much everyone else already knew what they were doing, so I naturally felt a little intimidated. I also wasn't given much guidance despite being a first-timer. What really bothered me was that the coach called me "silly" when I wasn't able to follow the instructions. I understand that a fast-paced class can be challenging for beginners, but I didn't think making fun of someone who was trying something for the first time was appropriate, and it definitely put a damper on the experience. One other thing I wish they had was a proper locker room or changing area. They have gender-neutral bathrooms, but they didn't feel clean or comfortable enough to change clothes in, especially if you're coming straight from work. I really liked the variety of classes and the generous trial period, and most of my experiences with the coaches were positive. I just wish the beginner experience was a little more welcoming and that they had a better space for changing.
