Jack ran a group session for a group of pre-teens. You could see the thought that went into the planning to pitch it at their level. They all loved it, thank you.
I have been looking for some self-defence training for a while now. Whilst both my children went to Karate class, I’ve never had any training personally. Now in my 60’s, I wanted to find appropriate training to keep myself agile whilst giving myself an ability to defend myself and my family in an increasingly uncertain world. I don’t really like the repetitive and performance based approach of a karate school - I’m not worried about coloured belts -I wanted something That would give me something more street defence based. I nervously applied for a recent workshop run in Norwich run by Jack and his team. I turned up expecting to be surrounded by youngsters and feel out of place. How wrong could I be - a great cross section of attendees, from late teens to several of us in our 50s and 60s. Every single one of us was welcomed warmly. The session was structured so we quickly partnered up and broke the ice, then immediately moved into practical techniques we could take away and use. This was all run as a FREE introduction to what the club can provide - which is a practical, immediately useable set of self defence principles that then get built on lesson after lesson - delivered in a welcoming environment by a very professional team of instructors. If you are thinking about trying AR Krav Maga, stop wondering and worrying and sign up for a trial session. I’m so glad I did.
Brilliant and very-friendly instructors, my son loves every training session and he has learnt a lot!
This is an absolutely excellent place to learn real life self defence whith amazing teachers that all have years of experience in all sorts of different martial arts givening you the most reliastic training to defend yourself great friendly people would highly recommend this gem of a place to start your training !!!!
I originally joined the foundation course in May 2025 to improve my fitness and saw self-defence as an added bonus. What I didn’t expect was how much I would enjoy it, the experience was so positive that joining the club afterwards felt like a natural progression and I’m still loving every session. The instructors are fantastic: skilled, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely supportive. There’s also a brilliant sense of community: everyone is welcoming, friendly, and not just focused on their own progress but on helping others too. It’s a great place to train and grow.
I’ve been doing Krav Maga for over a year now, and it’s been brilliant for both my health and confidence. The training pushes you in all the right ways, and the people are genuinely supportive and great to train with. Highly recommend!
I started training at AR Krav Maga in March. It has offered me a new and very effective way of learning practical self defence skills and a way to keep fit. I came in as someone with no real experience, but people there were really good at going at my pace and ensuring I understood what to do and how to do it. I’ve seen fantastic progress over the past 8 months. The team is professional, friendly and completely welcoming to people. Would fully recommend.
