Longitudinal studies have consistently shown that even small improvements in physical fitness are associated with a significant reduction in the risk of premature death from any cause. For previously sedentary individuals, modest enhancements in physical fitness can lead to substantial improvements in overall health status*.


At our self-defense academy, you don’t need to “get in shape” before starting our programs. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, our Krav Maga and Fitness Kickboxing classes are designed to align with your fitness and health goals. We believe in progressing at your own pace and adjusting for your body, accommodating a wide variety of body types and fitness levels.


Research supports the notion that incremental increases in physical activity yield significant health benefits. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, even moderate levels of physical activity can lower the risk of early death by 19-30%**. Additionally, the Mayo Clinic emphasizes that regular physical activity, regardless of the starting point, can improve heart health and decrease the risk of chronic diseases***.


By integrating our Krav Maga or Fitness Kickboxing programs into your routine, you can begin reaping the benefits of improved physical fitness and overall health. Join us and take the first step towards a healthier, longer life.
