Top notch training with AMAZING staff & instructors! KMD offers a variety of classes depending on your interest and needs. I love the Krav classes. All of the students/members are fantastic and you get to train with some great people. No matter what your skill level is, theres a ton of respect in every class. Much respect for the owner, trainers and staff!
My daughter has been in the kids program for almost 4 years now and I have recently started level 1 classes. I LOVE this place! The instructors are amazing. Krav Maga is a hard, but fantastic work out. Its practical self protection and everyone should know this!! LOVE KMD!!!
KMD has been not only an amazing training center, but has provided me with confidence I’ve never had!Their staff is amazing, professional, and wants to ensure you are successful. They provide excellent training in each and every class to ensure you are doing the movements properly and don’t risk injury. If someone has an injury, they take that seriously and will adjust the workout for that individual.No matter how small or large the class size, each and every person gets the attention they deserve. If you put in the effort, you will not only get in shape, but feel great doing so!The team, everyone including the owners are like a family. There is so much love and respect, you will not find that anywhere else!They offer people to try a free class, so if you are curious - give it a try, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
I recently attended a six-week challenge at Krav Maga Detroit and it was an amazing experience that I would not hesitate to suggest anyone try. After coming off a medical restriction, where I gained 25 pounds, I was having a very hard time finding motivation even when I was going to the gym. When I found the six-week challenge I was happy to sign-up with the hope that it would kick me into gear. It is intimidating walking into any new gym but KMD and everyone there was very welcoming. The instructors are quick to learn your names. The other people in class that have obviously been coming for awhile are quick to introduce themselves. I was wildy out of shape when I showed up and couldn’t even do a push-up. I never felt judged and only encouraged to keep working and in the six-week I lost just over 28 pounds and feel so much better. There are all types of classes but the actual Krav Maga were my favorite. They were offered so many times through-out the day I was always able to find one to fit into my schedule. If you’ve ever wanted to try a different way of getting a workout that will add some real-world benefit to your life, try Krav Maga Detroit.
Great place, nice variety of classes, many instructors - all top notch.
I started off new about two years ago with just the Krav Maga membership. Being there, I wanted more. They had so much to offer and I also was enjoying my time there so I decided to upgrade to the VIP membership. I had no problem signing up or upgrading. It was all a breeze. Everything was explained to me via what I classes I could take along with prices from the beginning. They did the same when I upgraded. Not to mention, every change I have done to the membership along with purchases of events and challenges, the tablet will have a summary of changes for which you have to read and sign before you can sign in to classes. Fast forward to months later, I got an email for the 42 day shred with Lisa. I decided to do it. I couldn’t be more happier. I have had results in two week working with Lisa whereas doing it my myself, I wouldn’t see those results in even a year. She keeps up with me weekly and doesn’t just tell me what to eat and how much to exercise. She worked with me to get my sleep schedule better and so much more!! This is a family owned business who cares about their customers and their well-being. It’s not like a corporate owned gym where they just want to get paid and shove you to the side. I will always support a family owned business like Krav Maga Detroit because they care about everyone who walks through the door. They possess honesty and integrity. Not to mention, all their classes are kick a*s and each instructor is amazing in their own ways.
I have been attending classes for about 10 months now. I love coming here. At first, the idea of Krav was intimidating, but after talking with some people who have gone, I knew I had to try it. So, so glad I did. I am in better shape than I have been in years. Im learning useful skills. Im pushing myself with encouragement from the awesome staff. If you are willing to put in the effort, they are willing to help you succeed. Highly recommend!
I have been training here since 2016. I love the gym. There have been times I had to leave for months at a time because of work or life, but I always come back, and it feels like I never left. They are a great group of people.Classes are lead by instructors who are very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, whether its Physical training, Krav Maga, Kickboxing, or any of the other many classes they offer. Even a large class feels like an intimate group session with plenty of feedback from instructors. The lead instructors and Owners, Pawel and Lisa, are very passionate about their clients, the quality of the gym, and the instructors. They spend a lot of time investing in all three. For example, one of the instructors flew out of state for their Kaav Maga Black belt certification, and Pawel was their with him. Fantastic!You can usually find Pawel in the gym even when he is not teach, being present, building stronger relationships with client and instructors alike.They are welcoming and motivating. I cant stay away. I am always eager to get back! I spend an average of seven hours a week there training and I always look forward to the next class. I also do private training with one of the instructors as well. It is my one stop for my fitness needs.In addition to that, being surrounded by fun, like minded people makes it feel like a second home. I have forged new friendships that I honestly feel are life long.Thanks KMD.Highly... highly recommend.
My wife and I always wanted to do Krav Maga. One of our martial art teachers referred us to Krav Maga Detroit and mentioned it is the best place to learn Krav Maga in Michigan.So we finally decided to go and during our first class Ive never seen my wife smile so much when working out. At that time we knew Krav Maga Detroit was a winner.We wanted something that would be practical in case something were to happen to us and Krav Maga Detroit checked all the boxes for us. On top of that, there were a lot of woman taking the class too... my wife was very happy and empowered.Every instructor is very knowledgeable in what they teach and the owner is an all time legend! We would recommend Krav Maga Detroit for anyone who wants to feel more empowered, learn about self defense, lose weight, and be stronger.Great for married couples like us!
I have taken the Krav Maga classes at Krav Maga Detroit for the last two summers and I am glad to say that I loved every class. Krav Maga Detroit trains you physically and mentally in self defense in preparation to protect yourself against any potential attackers. The instructors are great and give positive feedback and critiquing when necessary to improve your developing skills. This community of people that train at Krav Maga Detroit is exceptional and encouraging, constantly bettering yourself and inspiring others. Krav Maga Detroit not only teaches me how to protect myself, but also taught me to be more confident in my day to day life. Everyone can benefit from taking the classes, young and old, male or female. So grab a friend and try it!
The staff is super nice, instructors are very knowledgeable, and members are so nice and helpful. Both my daughter and myself have been coming to Krav Maga Detroit (KMD) since Jan-2018. Since starting KMD, I have lost 20 lbs, lost 2 inches in my waist, and my shoulders are wider. I highly recommend KMD to anyone who wants to get into shape and … “walk in peace”. You honestly need to start KDM to understand what “walk in peace” really means.
This is a fantastic Krav Maga School.I am visting from out of town & I have been training in Krav Maga for close to 10 years. The Level 1 class is a fantastic program with a great instructor who understands how to teach self-defense. I highly recommend this school. The facility & the training room is top-notch, this would lead into better training overall.
Subash and Mallory were great instructors. Everyone from the instructors to the people taking the class were super nice and helpful. Coming in with no experience it was easy for me to to pick up and I look forward to coming to classes each week.
I attend the physical training classes and couldn’t recommend them enough! You can take classes with focuses on CrossFit type training, HIIT, marine style workouts, power and weight lifting, etc. The instructors are very knowledgeable so whether you are a beginner or advanced, they can tailor the workout for you within the class. They are always really fun and positive! I have always worked out but going here gave me the confidence to compete on a few spartan runs and tough mudders, which I never would have done before. I have gotten SO much stronger that it even surprises me. I can’t live without the workouts now- it is my happy place!
Would give more stars if I could. I tried the 6 week challenge, and although I did not beat the challenge, I had an amazing experience. In addition to the KM classes, I took advantage of Physical Training, Conditioning and Yoga classes. This place is top-notch. The trainers are great! I did get into shape and gained strength. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun and intense workout!!
KMD is GREAT. Awesome instructors- Every single one of them! No matter what walk of life you come from the trainers (and members) are there to support & help you in every way. I have had the privilege and pleasure of training there for over a month now and can see the strong bond between trainers and students. Only regret I have is not stopping in to sign up sooner! Pawel (Founder) assembled a great team!
Krav Maga Detroit will give you the skills we all could use to defend ourselves if we ever need to. Assuming we dont ever need to utilize these skills for real life self defense it is an awesome work out with many benefits. Classes are fun and the owners and staff are professional, experienced and enthusiastic about teaching their students. I highly recommend Krav Maga Detroit.
All of the instructors are great teachers! They focus on form and technique as well as physical fitness. The instructors also break down the moves making it easy to learn. It is also a great community of people.
Family owned business, great place to train & learn Krav Maga! Staff is extremely friendly & always willing to help. Pawel is an amazing instructor who takes Krav coaching to another level! If you are interested in Krav Maga, I highly recommend Krav Maga Detroit!!
Found Krav Maga Detroit (KMD) as I was looking for something new and different. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt welcomed and excited to try it out! Being a women, self defense classes can be a little intimidating but that fear went away the moment the class started. Let me just say, Krav Maga is AWESOME! KMD instructors are top in their game and it shows! The class was fun, energetic and I got an amazing workout with the bonus of learning proven self defense. I signed up that day and LOVE KMD Instructors and the family atmosphere this center creates! THANK YOU!
It has been roughly 6 weeks +/- since I started at KM Detroit and I have absolutely loved it. It has definitely been a motivating summer. I go about 4-6 days a week and try to complete 2 classes each time. The trainers and staff are incredible and very informative. It helps when a trainer comes directly to you to help demonstrate an exercise or coordination. FYI I have no coordination, lol. From Lisa, Pawal, John, and Trevor they have worked hand in hand to provide me with such a daring and fun experience. I am learning to loosen up and the fact that I can kick butt is pretty darn thrilling. :) Thanks KM Detroit, keep up the great work!
Recently signed up. It is something I’ve wanted to do for a decade now. Already it has been one of the best things I have done for myself in a very long time. Great classes, incredible instructors, very warm members. I knew instantly that this was the thing I needed to begin getting my life back on track. Can’t wait to see where this journey takes me and the new hurdles and challenges that await me. After all, I do love a good challenge :)
Krav Maga Detroit provides the best possible training in self defense. Instructors are extremely knowledgeable and the training is based on realistic scenarios in order to prepare you to defend yourself and your family. You will never find a better place to train. Not only because of the elite level of training, also because the community is so welcoming and friendly. If youre looking for self defense or fitness training look no further. Check out Krav Maga Detroit, youre going to love it.
My family has been attending classes at KMD for a couple of years now. The Team of Coaches are magnificent!! My 9 year old sons situation awareness and confidence has improved immediately. When confronted by a bully he didnt hesitate to stop the agression. With what is happening in this country a person should have the life saving skills that KMD offers. As a strength coach and a professional athlete for over 30 years I can honestly say that Pawel, Lisa and their team of top calibre coaches are the best at what they do. They are honest and a true professional in their field and I highly recommend that anyone that comes across this review should take a class.
KMD is my home away from home. I started my training here over 4 years ago after a client of mine threatened to kill me. I was scared, and had no idea how to protect myself. Since starting my training, not only have I gained strength, fitness and skill, I have also gained confidence and a belief in my ability to fight for my life.Training at KMD is now a part of my everyday life and I love to be there, improving myself. Pawel, the founder of KMD, is truly competent and holds his instructors to the highest standards. I feel lucky to live so close and to have such easy access these instructors.If you want to learn how to defend yourself, to improve your fitness, and to probably make some great friend and training partners, KMD is where it’s at. Highly recommended!
Awesome place to train. The instructors are very knowledgeable and work well with students of any skill level. Friendly environment and they really push you to be better than when you walked in the door
This place is awesome. The staff is energetic and knowledgeable, they help you learn and move towards your goals at a safe pace (if not necessarily your own), and, most importantly, they make it fun! I signed up for the 6 week challenge and thought that it was a good way to really check this place out. I wasnt disappointed and am happy to say that Im continuing my membership. Lets call it what it is. Im a lifer.
We are very Lucky to have an owner and Lead instructor that is a 3rd degree black belt and cares about all of us succeeding. Add to that all the other awesome instructors and people. Its a family with the best training around!
Great, down-to-earth instructors with excellent skills both technically and pedagogically. They know their stuff and are enthused to share KM with everyone that walks through their doors. They also provide so many services for a wide range of people and ages. Solid school for sure.
Great place to train! Awesome instructors and fun workout. Why go to some boring gym when you can go here to get your workout AND learn how to fight? Highly recommend!
The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and are sincere in their teaching. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming whether youre experienced or new to Krav Maga.
Family environment!! You move at your own pace but they push you to push yourself and that is so important!! I 100% recommend to anyone who is looking into a self defense class and to get in shape
One year ago I began my journey with KMD as a participant in the six week weight loss challenge. I was completely out of shape and needing an outlet for work related stress. The program was simple. Follow the meal plan, show up and work hard. Early on Trevor gave me some great advice that has been ingrained into my ethos. Just show up and youll get the results youre looking for. Sore, tired, hungover, unmotivated I showed up. The results came faster than I could of imagined and ended up losing 37 pounds and 10% body fat. I am excited about advancing with my KMD training for the years to come.
Great place to learn and train self defense for both young and old. Ive been coming to KMD for the last 10 years and Im in my mid 60s. Great people and fantastic instructors.
I was a little nervous to join at first, but everyone at KMD was so welcoming and friendly It was easy to get comfortable. Its a great way to stay in shape while also learning important skills and Im glad I could be part of it.
This is a judgment free and exciting way to get a great workout! I’ve gained lots of lean muscle and I love being there even when I’m tired. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an avenue to add confidence and be healthier and have a clearer connection with themselves.
My 14 year old daughter and I have been going to Krav for months and live it. Very friendly yet professional environment. GREAT father daughter time. Great workout and great skills to learn. Check them out, you won’t be sorry!
I joined the 6 week challenge program and had a great time learning new techniques and having fun while working out. The instructors were great and very motivating!
Truly an amazing and enriching experience. Welcoming environment, hands on teaching, and highly skilled staff makes KMD a must do for someone who is looking for practical self defense and a killer work out.
Ive been training at KMD for around 2 years now and have had a wonderful experience. I have primarily trained under Trevor and have found him to be very knowledgeable and concerned with my progress.
The 6 week challenge is a scam do not get sucked in by Eric. A membership is 99$ non refundable deposit, first +last up front, and 129$ a month. For the 6 week challenge you will be required to bet on yourself in the amount of 499$ up front. If you do not meet your goal you will loose that, if you meet your goal they do not want to give it back. Half way through the event you will be offered a discounted membership of 87$. In reality they will keep the 499$, charge your bank account 87$ a month and charge 42$ a month out of the 499$ resulting in a monthly fee of 129$ for a discounted membership. This is not diclosed in the original contract. For your discounted monthly membership they will however wave the 99$ deposit, but you will still pay 129$ per month. This is a shady way to make people feel like they are getting a perk for completing the challenge but still charging the same amount. My wife and I were going to get a membership until this unethical system was disclosed to us. Now I am upset about the situation and will be fighting to get my money back
Simply the best place to train! The instructors are extremely professional and have a solid understanding of their craft. I would highly recommend you check this place out!!
I love coming here , I look forward to every workout and krav maga class. Vince is a great instructor and always makes the class worth the sweat!!
An incredible, supportive community of people! The training at KMD is second to none! You will gain strength, stamina and confidence.
Pawel and his team are very personable and knowledgeable. When they teach they break all the movements down step by step, and then put it all together to make it easier to comprehend. Im glad I found them!
Honestly the most fun I’ve had being active in a long time and I’m learning how to properly defend myself and or someone else! The staff is incredibly friendly and you work at a pace you are comfortable with.
I have been going here for little over a year now. The classes and training are well worth it. And the instructors and students are all friendly and helpful.
I went for the 9/11 event and had a great time. Everyone was friendly and supportive. Also got a tough work. I just wish I lived closer because I would come a lot more.
Great instructors. Lots of classes to choose from.
Its an awesome place, you will learn good technique, you will have good training and people are great there!!!
I have been going there for a while. In the hopes of expansion, Pawel been ignoring this place. Teaching staff are new and inexperienced. Furthermore, this place is very overpriced compared to over KM venues
A great gym for building your endurance, toning up, and most importantly learning to defend yourself aggressively and effectively.
Your name is misleading and got my hopes up that there was a gym near me thats actually in Detroit. Yall need to go by Krav Maga Troy
Great PT class with Ruth. Always have a great workout at KMD.
This place has been amazing. From the teachers to your peers - everyone is so supportive and wonderful.
Amazing
Such a great environment. Any level of person can walk in and become a better human.
Theyll train you to be an awesome individual! I love it and its worth it!
Very friendly staff. They offer 1 free class if you want to check it out.
Enjoyed because it showed me a new perspective on tactics compared to Tae Kwon Do
Best martial arts classes and teachers for children.
One of the best places to learn an effective system which is applicable in todays real world situations.
The Instructors are encouraging ,supportive & knowledgeable.
Best gym in the city.
4.5 no one is perfect. we practice to come as close as possible.
The Best
Like a family. Always learning something new.
Awesome

2020-09-12What a great evening/event on 9-11 at Krav Maga in Troy, MI. Myself and 2 fellow firefighters have participated in the event on behalf of Troy Fire and hose down all the participants as they do their workouts. Owner Pawel is so motivating and knows how to push his class to get everyone to achieve their goals. We look forward to participating in this event every year and when you see all the smiles at the end of the evening, you can tell it was a tough challenging class but they are so happy of their accomplishments. We look forward to seeing you in 2021 on the 20th anniversary and look forward to a larger group of first responders supporting your event. Keep up the great work Pawel!!!

2020-04-22Ive trained at this location for a number of years and love it. The staff is incredibly approachable, the instructors are very knowledgable about the martial art they teach and their schedule offers a diverse awry of classes at a wide variety of times. It sounds cliche, but the atmosphere really does feel more like a community of like-minded friends than a simple gym. I cant wait to get on the training floor.

2021-04-18I have been training at KMD for four months, and I am totally in love with the system and also the instructors. The people attending the class are also very respectful and supportive as I get to learn from everyone around me. The instructors are very patient and generous to teach you the things and also work with you at a deeper level. By practicing this art, I have been able to make new friends at the school and this learning has given me a lot of inner confidence which is helping me to build my inner confidence. Thank You Pawel and Lisa for your efforts.

2019-08-21Ive been training at KMD for 5 years now and I love every minute of it. People here are very friendly and make you feel welcome from the first day. All instructors are highly qualified and consistently receive the highest awards on instructor training from other Krav Maga gyms across the country. Both Pawel and Lisa really care about their clients and will always go above an beyond to make sure that all questions and concerns are quickly addressed and resolved. If you are looking for a top-notch training with family-like atmosphere, this place is definitely for you.

2019-08-02I have been coming to Krav Maga Detroit for 4 years and my experience has been fantastic. Although I do not take Krav Maga classes, they look intense, productive and enjoyable. I have been working out with Trevor Nelson for the last 4 years and my experience with him is great, better than any trainer I have ever worked with. He makes the workouts very challenging but also very effective. Trevor is an unbelievable guy and an even better trainer. Being an athlete, you have to do specific training for your sport and Trevor has taken his time to do research on my sport so that he can help me get in the best shape that I can be in. At the start of every season I feel like I am stronger, faster and more agile then I was at the beginning of my training. Trevor is very intelligent when it comes to what exercises we do and writes a great workout program. Some of our workouts go well over our hour time slot but he does not care as he wants nothing but the best for his clients. Last year I had shoulder surgery and was very limited on what I could do in the weight room. He helped me rehab my shoulder while also making sure my other body parts were getting stronger, so I was ready to start my season. When the season started, I felt better than I’ve ever have and performed better than I expected. Trevor is a great trainer and I highly recommend everyone to work with him whether your athlete or not.

2018-10-11What an amazing place! I signed up for the 6 week program, not knowing how much would really change in 6 weeks. Wow! I got great results, and its actually fun to go. For me to get to the gym, I needed some exterior motivation, and doing Krav Maga was it!All of the instructors are amazing, and work with you at your level. For a place like this to work well, it needs good people, and they definitely have it! I feel great, I lost weight, and Im learning self-defense!If you were even slightly considering doing this, I cant recommend it high enough!

2018-12-05I just completed the 6 week challenge at Krav Maga Detroit and successfully lost a little over 25 lbs. I was looking for a different type of workout than just hitting the gym to lift weights. It has been a great experience! The place is clean. There are a variety of classes to choose from. The Instructors and Owners are friendly, encouraging and knowledgeable. The people that I have met from my classes have been fun to work out with. I have learned a lot in the short time that I have been here and I will continue to come even though my challenge is complete.

2019-08-29From the challenging workouts, the technical correction and proper execution, and love for its community, Krav Maga Detroit is relentless in their desire to help each one of us grow more and be more than we thought capable. The owners, instructors, and support staff create a positive environment that leaves you excited to learn more and work harder. People there work very hard and support each other throughout classes and tests. They celebrate your victories and help you grow. From the kids classes, to adult classes, and even to seminars and events one can expect a high level of knowledge, energy and support from everyone there.

2019-08-29Love this place. Was looking for a place to increase my fitness while learning combative tools and got so much more than I expected. From lifting to help gain muscle, to PT classes to build strength and stamina to a number of great combative classes like striking, weapons, ground, and well rounded KM classes. I’m in the best shape of my life and I owe a lot of that to Krav Maga Detroit. Great instructors! Highly recommend!

2021-08-23Do yourself a favor and come to a class today! My only regret is that I waited so long to try it. There’s nothing like training with incredible instructors and partnering in class with people who are so kind and focused. I look forward to the hours I spend on the floor and I’ve become stronger physically and mentally, and I’ve only been doing this for a month. This is thee absolute best decision and investment in my well-being that I’ve ever experienced. Your life is worth it, and I’m telling you that you will not regret it. Thank me later!
