KravZone

Not only can you learn Krav Maga, Kickboxing, BJJ, and take fitness classes in KravZone, you will learn it in the cleanest, no ego, no bullshit way. The instructors have trained people who's lives hang on the instruction, and who must be able to function at the highest stress level.  Most zen place I go to in my life, owe these guys a lot.

WOW! Just Wow! This place is just beyond words. Professional staff. Dedicated instruction. Simple. Character building. Very impressive. You can do a free tryout to see if it's right for you and if you're local you're 100% going to come back. The only 'negative' is that they should have more classes, especially for teens (currently only 2 and 1 for girls I think....) but I understand that there are only that many hours in the day, space is limited, instructors are too. There are wonderful adult classes and this place is probably a must for every teenage girl and woman to learn to protect herself. More...

Both of my children take classes at KravZone. I'm very excited about the defense maneuvers they are learning, especially for my daughter as she is growing up. I want to ensure she feels great defending herself if something should ever come up in her lifetime. I take KravFit classes which I love - great stretching, movement and tacfit body work. My husband takes basically every class available at KravZone. He is working on his belts in Krav Maga and Jiu Jitsu and absolutely loves the training he does at this location.

I went to Krav Zone for 3 years with my then grad school roommate. Sadly I had to stop as I moved too far from Sunnyvale. I had no previous martial arts experience but still found Shlomi and Tomer to be patient and excellent teachers . They really care about their students. They do a good job of pushing everyone hard but at the same time adjusting to reach person's level.The CrossFit classes that are offered are great. I was in the best shape of my life here. There are folks who also were very serious about Martial arts, although I can't speak to that. For me, it was great for fitness, knowing how to fight to be more confident about my body, and a great community of students and teachers. Worth every penny and I want to one day go back! Highly recommend it! More...

I came on a Monday afternoon for a free class and today, on Tuesday evening I'm buying a 6 months admission. Don't let a dozen of brutal looking men scare you away! They all are actually very nice. Studio isn't big, but very welcoming, clean (yay! No sweat or dirty socks scents), with good air conditioning, exceptionally looking mats, very friendly instructors, extremely interesting curriculum (if you can name it that way). I don't think they have a changing room, but I am not 100% sure. There is a room where you can leave your belongings, there's also space where you can sit down and wait for your child or friend to finish the class. Long story short, I'm in love and can't wait to get back there. Try KravZone, you won't be disappointed. More...

My review is from about 3 years ago.  When I first moved to CA, I looked for a krav place that I could train at.  This place had great reviews on yelp so I decided to give it a try.  I went to their "tryout" classes and I actually had the chance to experience their level 1 krav, kickboxing, and grappling class (if memory serves).  I signed up and trained here for about 4 months before I relocated due to work.  It was very unfortunate because I loved this place.  Shlomi, Tomer, and Travis are all outstanding teachers and they are really able to identify your weaknesses and offer your individualized advice.  That's what I really enjoyed about this place.  Yeah, some of the classes were large in size, but it was still really nice to get personalized advice. I have a background in martial arts and this place is definitely legit. The workouts were great, the training was great, and my experience here has been exceptional.  My only caveat about the area is that parking sucks for the later classes, but that's pretty much everywhere in the bay. Luckily, I relocated back to the area and will be looking to start up training again at KravZone soon. More...

It's a rare and invaluable find when beginners are able to fully tap into the expertise of those who operate at an elite level. KravZone, and in particularthe leadership of Shlomi Katz, is one of those rare finds. With various schools and philosophies on self-defense, it was important for me to find a system that would truly work for my body if faced with a threat, and to find a system taught by those who are the best at its execution. Krav Maga means contact combat and is designed around our body's natural responses and reflexes; being that strength and size are not on my side, I personally could use all the help I could get! The system itself works. Shlomi's background in the IDF (and quality of experience within the duration he has trained) was the key seller for me, along with both his ability and appreciation for the art and science of teaching. His skill and training is of superior quality. He can quickly see, tweak, and critique. I'm a very thorough and particular person, and it can take a lot for me to be impressed -- he, his place, and his people have surely impressed me. I deeply appreciate my current instructor Beth who is an advanced student of Shlomi's (and others on his team). She is strong, dedicated, skilled, and motivates me every time we train. Both she and Shlomi have never failed to answer my many questions and encourage me in my progress. I highly urge anyone in the Bay Area - men, women and especially children - to visit KravZone and take advantage of its accomplished instructors, methodical training, thoughtful development, and overall rich experience. A note for my fellow females, we know there's nothing more concerning (frankly, scary) than being vulnerable in an unsafe environment. KravZone, thankfully, is a very respectful environment and I've noticed integrity within every member of its staff. It is a safe place to focus, train, work hard, learn, and watch great people who love what they do help others become equipped and empowered to live free from fear. KravZone gets my highest recommendation. More...

Working out in the gym or doing a crossfit training is all good, but having a good skill in self defense is far better and useful to have.  I google searched and found this place not too far from my house so I decided to go and check the place out.  From the moment I saw one of the classes taught by top notch instructors, I signed up that very day.  It is so fun to learn practical self defense skills. One caution though, you can get hurt if you have a training partner with a lack of self-control. More...

I've been in Krav 1 at KravZone for about 6 months now and I've continued to go to the classes there because the instructors are articulate, friendly, and best of all they don't waste your time. Going here is the perfect physical activity after work for blowing off steam and getting fit while learning extremely practical self-defense and fighting skills from pros.Each of the instructors has a unique teaching style and I feel like I learn an equal amount from each one of them, and I appreciate how quick they are in correcting me, adjusting subtleties in my form, etc. As a beginner I personally really enjoy David's pace of teaching and the way he articulates things and breaks down all of the motions. The classes I've taken with Tomer are awesomely intense - be sure to wear a cup and be ready to practice moves being on your back with someone pinned on top of you. Travis' classes for some reason make me feel three times more agile in both physical movement and thinking like a fighter. You obviously can't go wrong with Shlomi (the owner) in his classes and it's super helpful and fun when he incorporates weapons and disarming opponents (never thought I'd "play" with toy guns and rubber knives again once I became an adult!). I don't know if I'm missing any others, but the instructors I've had here are solid and seem like genuinely good people, and I can tell they are passionate in what they do and they want to provide all the necessary building blocks to see everyone they teach grow. I try to soak up and retain every bit I can from the classes and reinforce the muscle memory by typing out notes of everything I learned that day in my phone once I get home. I also practice as many moves as I can on my punk-a** brother (does he appreciate it? Most likely not, but he's a tough cookie). Besides him, I'm currently trying to get as many people in my large family to join. This place rocks! More...

After running into a few unsavory individuals while in the city, I decided I wanted (needed) to learn self defense. I've been coming here 3-4 times a week for almost 2 months now. This place is amazing and I wish I had found this place earlier!Contact them via the form on their website if you want to take a tryout class. They respond quickly and walk you through the routines on your first day (and make sure to pair you up with someone appropriate).Instructors: super knowledgeable and observant. They can easily notice where your form is off or where you should improve to make the move better and more effective. They are always willing to repeat the demo or answer any questions you may have - just ask!Classes: They offer a range of classes including krav maga, grappling, kravfit (krav-ish crossfit), kickboxing and some classes even incorporate MMA (full explanations and schedules on their website). They also have classes for children/teens and parent-children classes, which is quite a unique concept. In general, classes start with about 10 minutes of warm-up and stretching, then you split off into the specific class you want to attend. You get more of a workout in the fitness class, and focus more on technique and form in krav classes. There's a ton of different moves to learn so there's never a shortage of things to drill.Membership: different types depending on how often you want to attend class. Ask about discounts if you are a student, military or signing up with other family members. They also do private lessons - ask an instructor for info and scheduling.As a person who isn't a fan of working out for the sake of working out, KravZone is just what I needed to keep me motivated and engaged in physical fitness. More importantly, KravZone is not just a place you go to train - it is also a community of amazing like-minded people. For those who want to learn practical self-defense skills in a supportive environment, this is the gym for you.Tip - parking can be difficult for evening classes (which are popular) because it's a small lot, but I've never had any issues finding a spot. However, you can also park on the street behind the plaza if you need to. More...

I randomly googled a krav place near my house because I was intrigued to try it out. And was shocked to find a truly amazing facility. I thought I knew all the cool fitness places in the south bay, but I was WRONG. This place is like a hidden gem!After I had decided to give up competing in bodybuilding-- at least for a long time-- I really felt like I was falling apart. I felt empty and lost without that passion in my life that had provided me direction, purpose, motivation, identity, social connection, self esteem, and a sense of mastery. I was searching for something to fill that void, something to enliven me- and honestly I was searching for something like yoga to be the yin to my yang. However, whenever I tried a new yoga class I was filled with angst and torture, mostly emotionally. It just never felt good to me.But, upon a whim, I decided to check out Kravzone, and give me fighting and violence and yesss it felt like home. I turned over that credit card QUICK and was like sign me up!I have been addicted ever since.... I go there now 6 days a week, like a crack fiend. I wish I could go more, but alas, that pesky thing called work. I feel really fortunate to have found Kravzone, because I was stumbling through a dark cloud of depression when I dropped in. And really found something that gave me joy. That really helped to lift my spirits. Something that replaced bodybuilding for me. Something that is my favorite part of the day. And for this, I am truly, truly thankful. Thank you to all the teachers and peers for helping me to be a better practitioner. I hope one day to be 1/25th of the fighter that you are, Schlomi!

Edited to include info about equipment for classes and parking. I've tried the grappling, krav maga, and kickboxing classes so far and my first week was great. Staff and other students seem friendly and quick to answer questions as I'm a beginner in krav maga. You get a discount if you're a student, military, or have a family member currently enrolled. The promotion I got upon signing up was a pair of boxing gloves. FYI if you end up doing krav maga (higher levels) or kickboxing you'll need to get a mouth guard, shin guards, gloves, and a helmet. The fitness class and grappling did not seem to need equipment as far as I can tell. My only qualm so far was the parking situation. The 6:30 and 7PM classes seem to be quite popular and the parking lot is tiny (and shared with a Domino's and 711). However, you can park next door in the dental office complex (it's a big lot).

I love this place...addicted since day one. I've been going to KravZone for about a year now, 5x a week, sometimes twice a day (I am now known as one of the permanent fixtures). Shlomi and Tomer are hands down the best instructors you'll run into in your lifetime. This place keeps me sane and is one of the highlights of dreary old Sunnyvale (I'm sorry, Sunnyvale, but it's true!). They offer varying levels of membership based on how many times you go (once a week, morning classes only, or unlimited membership). As a starter, I began with mornings and became so addicted that after just a few months, started the unlimited and would go mornings AND evenings (granted, I live pretty close by, but I'd still go twice a day even if I lived farther away. I draw the line at Antartica though). Class offerings are split into "mornings" and "evenings", so you can either attend, say, Krav Level 1 from 10-11am in the morning, or go to the Level 1 class in the evening, at 6pm (times also depends on the day, which you can find on the website). They also offer kids and teen classes (I hope that by the time I have children, Shlomi will also offer infant-training - that'd be pretty fun to watch). And it's not just Krav Maga class that are offered - they offer MMA & kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and "Kravfit", a play on Crossfit, so you have access to a full-body workout (if you want). But what's perhaps the most important thing to know - and perhaps why KravZone is so special - is that besides being a great place to workout, and to learn from some of the best, it's a friendly, fun and communal environment, no egos. This place attracts some great people and for good reason. It turned a couch potato like me into somebody who enjoys exercising 5x a week. Zombies can't even chase me into a normal gym. More...
