I train at a sister Warrior Krav Maga school out of state. I was going to be in the area for a few days. So, contacted Master Bertling to see about training with him a couple nights while I was in town. He was very encouraging and enthusiastic to have me visit.
I was a little nervous to come, having never trained at another school. Master Bertling was incredibly welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away. The regular students were also very friendly, welcoming, encouraging, and fun to train with. I felt like this was my regular school after just two evenings.
The facility is a nice size, very clean, and well equipped.
Master Bertling followed the a Warrior Krav curriculum & structure well, kept the class moving at a good pace with smooth transitions, and did a great job of keeping the class feeling fresh by changing up the drills and bag work just enough to keep us on our toes and engaged, but not confused. The 40 minutes flew by!
Definitely better and more fun than the workout I would have done at the hotel gym by myself.
I will also mention there was a Kickboxing class going on one of the night I was there. While I didn't participate, I did sneak a peak a couple times. Mrs Patterson seemed to be motivating and kept the class focused and moving at the fast pace one expects with Kickboxing. Very solid workout! Expect to earn a good sweat!
