Class Descriptions
Krav Maga
All students must begin their training in Level 1. Krav. Level 1 focuses on the basics - your fight stance, kicks, strikes, and beginner combatives & defenses. Level 1 provides the baseline of techniques upon which to build and test into Level 2. With regular attendance (3x/week), students can prepare to test into Level 2 in 4-6 months. Level 1 students are also welcome to participate in All Levels, which has the added bonus of higher level techniques built into an L1 class. Our Krav classes go up to Level 5, and students must test into each level. Level 1 students are not required to purchase any special equipment, but we do recommend hand protection such as wraps or MMA gloves, and groin protection for the guys. Level 2 and above requires shin guards, headgear, and boxing gloves, all of which can be purchased at KMMD!
Weapons
Open to Krav Maga levels 2 and above, Weapons class focuses on all defenses against armed attacks. Stick attacks, edged-weapon threats and attacks, handgun and long gun are all addressed in a one-hour long hands-on format.
Heavy bag
Heavy Bag is an excellent HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) workout. A mix of punching and kicking combinations, bodyweight work, partner work, you name it. Think kickboxing, but better. You will need 16oz boxing gloves for this class.
Strength & Conditioning
High intensity, functional fitness program that focuses on whole body conditioning and strength training. The class is typically broken up into three parts - Warm Up, Skill or Strength, Workout of the Day. Coaches focus on building practical strength and endurance through the use of barbells, kettlebells, rope climbs, and much more. Shoes Required. Programming is posted weekly on our Facebook page.
Bootcamp
Great for beginners and experienced athletes alike. Bootcamp incorporates basic resistance and body weight exercises with an emphasis on human movement- Running, jumping, climbing and other explosive movements. High energy workouts that focus on the foundations of movement, agility, and explosivity. You will build endurance and coordination without the use of the barbell. Programming created by the coach that day.
Weightlifting
An hour long class dedicated to a single lift (deadlift, snatch, clean and jerk, ect) and supplemental work that would assist the lift. The class will be broken up into a Warm Up, Drills, Supplemental work, Workout of the Day. Longer time spent focusing on form, practicing with lighter weights, and reviewing the breakdown of each part of the lift. Finish will a shorter workout that has the lift of the day in the workout. Beginners and experienced athletes are all encouraged to attend. Lifting shoes recommended.
Conditioning
A class centered around engine work, building endurance, and remaining in the red zone for as long as possible. The emphasis is on high reps, low weight, endurance style workouts. Routinely testing distance runs and rowing to mark progress. Running shoes recommended. If the goal is to be faster and be able to workout longer, this is the class for you.
Thai Pads
Thai Pads provides all the workout of a Heavy Bag class but adds the camaraderie of partner work. Learn how to be a good training partner while mastering the art of pad-holding! Requirements for Thai Pads: 16oz gloves and willingness to learn something new.
KravFit
KravFit is a fusion of Krav Maga and metabolic conditioning. Think: Krav + Heavy Bag + Bootcamp in any combination. No equipment needed for this class – just a willingness to work hard!
This 30-min class focuses on the health of specific joints and areas of the body. Often ignored, joint health and flexibility is key to maintaining an active lifestyle and avoiding unnecessary injury! No experience or equipment is required for this class.
Fight
Fight class focuses on the fundamentals of striking, defense, and movement as applied to a competitive sport-fighting environment. If this will be your first time in a fight class, we recommend training for several months in level one Krav Maga before trying out a fight class. You’ll need headgear, a mouth guard, 16oz gloves, and shin guards in order to participate in this class.
