Warrior Silat is not only a martial art but a combat art geared more towards real world application that only sport, made to finish fights quick and fight up close (where we tend to be most vulnerable) and that is the beauty if you are fat, skinny, fit, tall, short, woman, child, man, young, old and even injured Silat is something which will help you defend yourself and others in an effective manner. the people who you practice are welcoming and not intimidating and the school has two of the best no only martial arts but all around teachers that I have met in my life

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!
