Who We Are

At Krav Maga Cleveland, our programs are based on an Israeli hybrid system that draws from boxing, wrestling, judo, and more, taught as a complete approach to staying safe rather than a handful of disconnected techniques. Our students in Warrensville Heights, OH, learn to handle distance, close quarters, ground fighting, and weapon defenses through a structured curriculum that adds new variables as they progress.

Our classes go well beyond a single discipline. Alongside our core Krav Maga program, we offer Muay Thai for stand-up striking, hybrid grappling for the ground game, and strikefit kickboxing to build cardio and confidence at the same time. Resistance training rounds out the mix, helping you get stronger and more durable so your technique holds up under pressure. Younger students have a place here too, with youth Krav Maga and youth Muay Thai classes designed for their age and skill level.

We have a large staff made up of some of the most experienced and skilled trainers in the field, each with a different specialization. That range matters, because good self-defense pulls from many places. We are the only Northeast Ohio affiliate of Fit To Fight, the only Ohio affiliate of Blackout Grappling, and we are also affiliated with the World Thai Boxing Association. Those relationships keep our coaching sharp and our methods current.

Progress here is something you can see and share. Trainees showcase their growth during quarterly showcases and productions that are open to the public, so friends and family can watch how far you have come. Whether you are stepping onto the mat for the first time or looking to sharpen skills you already have, we would love to meet you. Schedule an appointment to find the class that fits you best.
