Krav Maga Elite - Self Defence & Fitness Training Reviews 

If you are interested in learning self defence then you have come to right place. Krav Maga is the most efficient self defence system in the world. No two classes with instructor Garry are the same, so you won't get bored. One lesson, it will be boxing skills and the next ground fighting, so you just don't know what to expect. It is also an intense workout that will get you sweating! I 100% recommend Krav Maga Elite and instructor Garry.

A very good adaptable self defence system that offers a structured learning experience. You are taught techniques that will help you in real world scenarios in today's society, not just techniques that look good!

Very down to earth instructors and fellow members who are always willing to help. Despite the fact that there are varying levels of experience in the class, there is no segregation. All members learn the same techniques at the same time throughout the class.

Enjoyable and fun, and most importantly it gives you the ability to be confident and self aware in today's world.

Krav Maga is definitely one of the best real-world self-defence systems I've seen. I've been involved with jiu jitsu and kick-boxing and neither really compares to Krav Maga. The unique thing about Krav Maga is that it considers how to avoid conflict in the first place, as well as dealing with it if the worst happens and in the most effective way possible.

Krav Maga combines a range of useful techniques from a number of disciplines and does away with the unnecessary techniques and traditions of other martial arts/disciplines. Krav is great for fitness and flexibility too.

Garry is an excellent and friendly instructor. He deals with serious topics in a fun and engaging way and always has time to show you something again if you miss it the first (or second!) time.

The people who train at East Herts are friendly and there's a good atmosphere in the classes. I'm really pleased I signed up.

I highly recommend Krav Maga to anyone regardless of age or ability. Gary is an excellent instructor and his lessons are structured, informative and a lot of fun .

I love this class! I would recommend it to all ages! I sent my son who was 5 at the time and he loves it! I then started classes and was very wary but all the participants are extremely friendly and Garry is very good with explaining anything and always walks you through things you don’t understand. I’ve had so much fun learning new skills and feel a lot more confident and so does my son.

An excellent self defence system taught by a very knowledgable instructor.
In the time I have trained with Gary I have never once seen any ego enter the training room. Just a will to help and teach people to gain confidence, fitness , health and to give them a logical and proven way of defending oneself in many different situations . A1 Training

I took up Krav Maga two and half years ago and it’s probably one of the best decisions I’ve made! My 6 year old son and I both train under Garry Estherby at Elite East Hertfordshire and absolutely love it! Krav Maga is a reality based self defence system that adapts to your natural response to a situation. For me, learning the system is like taking up an insurance policy - you hope you never have to use it, but if you need it, it’s there! If you want to learn a no nonsense, reality based self defence system in a club where there’s no egos, then Elite Krav Maga is the right place for you!

Excellent club, brilliant instructors who are giving of their time and not full of ego, who want you to improve. Their bring the art alive making sure that you start to think how you act, your own safety and that of your family. The club seems to attract students who want to help each other as well and want to work to improve the quality of everyone, all the way from those starting out to those more experienced. If you want to learn Krav then this is where you should start, just makes me wish i had started training with them a lot earlier.

I would highly recommend Krav Maga for anyone looking for fitness, self-defence or something just a little bit different. I started after becoming disillusioned with years of karate training. I’m now learning practical skills to deal with real life situations that hopefully will never arise, whilst getting fitter and having fun. The karate knowledge can be beneficial but it can also be a hinderance, so a lack of prior experience shouldn’t put anyone off! It is often utterly exhausting but everyone is always in good spirits, it’s a good place to be. My instructor, Garry (East Herts) is a great teacher, able to explain everything clearly and there is genuine respect amongst everyone, regardless of experience. I feel privileged to train with such a lovely bunch of supportive, helpful people and above all my confidence at being able to deal with the unthinkable is increasing.

Krav Maga is the only outside school activity I don’t need to drag my kids too.
My 12 year old daughter and 8 year old son love going to theses classes.
Garry Estherby (East -Herts Instructor) is great with all the kids at all ages, he makes the lessons fun while they learn sensible, realistic self defence life skills, he gives all the kids great advice about how to deal with all situations from inside to outside school. It has been a joy to watch not only my own kids but all the kids that train grow in self confidence with every class.
I can’t recommend highly enough getting you child to train in Krav Maga.

Garry Estherby (East -Herts Instructor) is a very knowledgable and excellent instructor. In his training sessions he will build up your skills in easy to understand steps. You will learn real life self defence techniques while having fun and getting fit. Everyone you train with is friendly and good natured, they will help you improve in every lesson by either guiding you with their experience or just by giving you encouragement to get the best training possible. I have been training for just over a year and a half my fitness has improved greatly in this time, I have learnt so much since I joined. I can’t recommend Krav Maga Elite highly enough.
Also as you may have seen form other reviews it can be highly addictive! I started training once a week and now I train a least 4 times a week when I can out of 5 classes everyone is welcome to attend.

I took up Krav Maga about a year ago and my only regret is that I didn't I take it up earlier.The East Herts club is full of very friendly people from all walks of life and our instructor Garry is an exceptional instructor. Not only do you learn self defence skills it improves your physical and mental wellbeing.It can as someone has already noted become addictive. Highly recommend it.

My son and I both train with Garry at East Herts and absolutely love it. The club has a great atmosphere and the members are all friendly. Real world training that WILL increase your confidence and fitness. My teenage son hadn’t found any activity he wanted to get involved with until he tried Krav Maga and had come on brilliantly in his first year and a bit and looks forward to training each week.
Be warned it’s addictive!

Krav maga is the training I've been looking for. Real life defences for real life situations. With the option to train up to 5 times a week or just one if that's all the time you have. I think all the people I've met here are a great bunch of humans.
I've finally found a class that is friendly, challenging and trains me to be a ninja.
5* stars

My son was so nervous about starting this class and was in floods of tears on our first class. He is now unrecognisable in his confidence and comes out of school asking if it’s “ninja class” time! It’s a highlight of his week and he loves the instructors and the friends he’s made here. It’s a very professional class with some serious skills learnt in a fun environment. Would highly recommend.

100% recommend Krav. My son has been going for about a year. It’s good to know he is learning how to defend himself in many situations. I thinks it’s brilliant for both boys and girls. He has made good friends and thoroughly enjoys it. All the instructors work really well with the kids and bring the best out in them.

Great exercise, great self defence, great instructor and great group in Colchester.
Thoroughly recommend!

Beautiful and Professional training!! I'm from Hungary,little speak English. IAlex very helpful end very good instructor!! Big respect !!!!Really self defence . Very nice team !! Alex

I'm only 6 classes into my training with the Krav Maga Elite class in Ipswich / Colchester and I have to say, it's by far the best class i've trained in. Clear, concise and confident instruction given by Alex, all in a friendly and safe environment and with no egos to deal with either. It's a great workout for me and a chance to re-sharpen my skills from years gone by in previous training. Looking forward to achieving my P1 grade later in the year and onwards from there.

I was going through a really tough time mentally and needed something physical but useful.
I had always like the idea martial arts however with thumb and knee injuries, arts like Judo and Jujitsu were just too much.
Krav though is something totally different.
It is the practical stuff that gives you the options for situations you read or see in the news and hope to never have to deal with.
I like that lessons are well planned and keep in mind the current trends.
My sincere appreciation and thanks to Paul, Aiden and Elite team.
