    Me and my sister decided that we wanted to practice self defence (for the 1st time ever) to learn how to protect ourselves in case of danger. After an extensive search we found KMG and we decided that we wanted to go for a trial lesson. We were very nervous because we never did something like this before and therefore we didn’t know what to expect. I can totally say that choosing this club was our best choice and we decided on that same day that we were joining the team. The instructors (I have met Kelly and Matt) are amazing, their teaching style is very good and they’re always available to explain it again to you if you ever need to. The group itself is very supportive and it feels very good to be training with everyone without any kind of judgement. Everyone is there to help you if you ever need anything. I absolutely recommend this Krav Maga club!

    I’ve used 6 different martial arts gyms across Bristol over a ten year period. Each one different in its own way. Bristol Krav Maga city centre is by far the most organised, friendly and welcoming environments I have experienced. Martial arts gyms require discipline, which this holds as one of its values. BKM has 3 Elite level instructors with Kelly ay the helm and a warm and welcoming environment - I highly recommend BKM City Centre. I’ve just come back after a long break and it’s just as good and just as well organised.

    I’ve been training at Bristol Krav Maga for 2.5 years now and have loved every minute of it. The classes have done a lot for my overall confidence not only to handle self defence scenarios but my overall confidence in myself. Kelly and Matt are fantastic instructors, I find that the teaching style and the manner in which they run the classes to be very effective for retaining the content we are learning and getting the most out of each session. I was in a bad place at the time I started and the difference in myself as a result of these classes has been fantastic. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to better themselves and learn self defence skills that are effective.

    I can’t recommend this Krav Maga gym enough. The people here are incredibly welcoming, supportive, and always happy to help. The instructors are fantastic—professional, encouraging, and genuinely care about your progress. Since starting, I’ve felt truly supported both in training and personally. The sessions are already helping me build confidence and manage stress, and I always leave feeling stronger and more positive. A great place to train, learn, and grow.

    I joined the Bristol Krav Maga 1.5 year ago and I can't recommend it enough. The instructors are highly skilled and knowledgeable, and they created a supportive and challenging environment. I learned practical self-defence techniques that I feel more confident using in real-world situations. Not only did I improve my physical fitness, but I also gained a newfound sense of awareness, confidence, and empowerment. What I love most about the course is the friendly and supportive community. Everyone is there to help each other learn and grow, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a self-defence program that's both effective and rewarding. This course is best for those with an open mind and a willingness to learn and work hard, leaving any ego at the door

    I’ve only been a member for a few weeks and, at 64, I’m one of the older students. I find the classes challenging but it’s up to me how hard I push myself and my fitness, for a kind of exercise I’m not used to, is improving. Kelly and the other instructors are dedicated and professional but there’s also room for humour. As a beginner, I’m always paired off with someone experienced. They have all been really helpful, supportive and encouraging. I’m really impressed with BKM. I believe I’m learning highly effective self defence, it’s challenging, it’s fantastic exercise and I really enjoy the camaraderie of the group.
