If you're looking for a place to learn self-defense, find a community, or step out of your comfort zone, you can stop looking now. I've been training here for three years, and this school does all of that and so much more. While some martial arts can be a stressful environment for those in the LGBTQ+ community, this place is starkly welcome to everyone regardless of identity and even offers special classes for the LGBTQ+ community (weekly) and for women (monthly). The people here are welcoming, enthusiastic, and want you to be the best version of yourself you can be. I was not paid to write this. I genuinely love it here.

I can't recommend this studio enough! The community and instructors are all incredibly supportive and genuinely invested in helping each other improve. This place has made me much more confident in my ability to handle myself. The studio is very beginner-friendly and welcoming, whether you come to learn practical skills, get an incredible workout, or just have fun and make friends!

Everyone there is friendly, do a great job instructing, and keeping me motivated to get a great workout. I always leave feeling much better than when I showed up.

Been coming since early 2024. I'm usually 6 wks here, 6 busy elsewhere, but I always come back. I joined unable to do a jumping jack, middle aged stiffness and the fear I was going to spend the second half of my life in a body that was awful. I stay because everything in my life is better when I do. Work, clarity, social life, confidence. Even composure. Wrestling with your own internal state around people who want that for you but respect your journey is amazing. The things that make you self conscious now become inspiration for the next folks to join. The things we do that build presence of mind, exposure to silly or icky things (i am ultra sweaty), where you don't have to do what you're not comfortable with until you're ready to push through it. On the other side? I've gone from embarrassed and self conscious to being able to spill hot coffee on myself minutes before a sales meeting, and stay chill while others panicked for me. How'd it turn out? Amazing! Why? Training Krav helps keep my head so clear and gives me a real baseline for how awesome I am. You don't need to do what I do, though. I had NO idea this was my outcome. Head over, invest in your mysterious future self. I'll punch you gently until you want it harder (see, silly).

Excellent enjoyable instruction as well as a great workout. Respect, community, safety, acceptance and support of diversity are valued and stressed in a welcoming setting. For me, each instructor's explanations of the various moves has been straightforward, approachable, and explained within the context of potential real-life scenarios. Additional activities such as kickboxing and yoga are also offered. I've continued to have a positive experience and look forward to learning more!

I’ve taken classes here for almost 3 years, and it’s the quality of the classes and their emphasis on building a welcoming and supportive community that has kept me here. For anyone like me who is unsure about whether this is the right environment for them (I’m a very small woman/vegan/pacifist) - I don’t feel pressure to do anything that makes me uncomfortable, but I do feel a strong support for stepping outside of my comfort zone to learn things that will keep me safe. My confidence and my sense of self (and values) have both certainly been challenged, but in good ways, so I highly recommend taking a chance. It’s always nice to join a group photo or Thanksgiving celebration with my classmates, too!

KMCD is a very special place. The owner, Jesse, goes the extra mile to create an environment where everyone feels safe and welcome. As a result, people of all sexes, genders, ages, colors, shapes and sizes work out together, enjoying the workout and growing together.

KMCD is a very welcoming place to train in self defense. Jesse, the owner, is dedicated to providing community involvement. His instruction is top notch, not just for adults, but for children and youth alike. My son started training at KMCD when he was just 10 years old and loves it. Jesse, and every other instructor really made sure my son was safe, comfortable, and not feeling intimidated, even while training with all adults. Kudos to Jesse and all the instructors for instilling confidence in myself and son.
