Fantastic Krav Maga School – Highly Recommended!

My wife and I have been training at AMK Krav Maga for a while now, and we couldn’t be happier. From day one, we felt welcomed into a friendly and supportive environment where everyone, regardless of skill level, is encouraged to learn and improve.

Ben and Gemma are excellent instructors—highly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. They create a great balance between effective self-defense training and maintaining a fun, inclusive atmosphere. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have experience, you’ll feel right at home here.

We’ve gained not only valuable self-defense skills but also confidence and a great sense of community. If you’re looking for a top-notch Krav Maga school, this is the place to be!

Ben and Gemma run the most well organised and amazing classes and facilities I've ever been in. They are knowledgeable and super friendly and very welcoming. If you are not sure if you should go along, I would definitely take the plunge. They are the real deal and would be glad to meet you.

I’ve joined the club about three months ago, and it has been an incredible experience. It’s a perfect combination of learning practical self-defense skills while staying fit and active. The club members are very friendly and create a welcoming environment, regardless of your skill level. Everyone trains at different intensities and is always ready to adapt to a newbie partner, sharing tips and guidance along the way.

The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully managed, with noticeable efforts to improve continuously. Overall, it’s an amazing place to train, grow, and meet like-minded people. Highly recommend it to anyone considering starting or continuing their Krav Maga journey!

I started training at AMK Krav Maga in October and I’m really enjoying it. From day one, Ben and Gemma have been incredibly welcoming, making sure everyone, no matter their experience feels comfortable and supported. The training is intense but rewarding, I feel I am learning real practical skills that I may need one day, and they are already boosting my confidence.

The atmosphere is amazing, everyone pushes each other to improve There’s no ego, just a great community of people working together!

If you’re on the fence about trying it, don’t hesitate as It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made.

See you in training

I was here for a one-week course and had a great time! The gym is well maintained and well equipped. The trainers are very competent and create a great atmosphere and Ben and Gemma are incredibly helpful and friendly.

I’ve been doing Krav Maga for about three weeks now, and with every session, I fall more in love with the practice, the people, and the whole experience. In such a short time, I already feel like part of the team, and I love how friendly and supportive everyone is! The high-quality, well-structured classes with awesome music in the background make it even better.
I started on a whim after a friend mentioned it, curious to try something completely outside my comfort zone. At first, it was challenging since I had never done anything like this before. But I decided to stick with it because I wanted to become stronger and more daring in life- and because Ben and Gemma were incredibly kind and encouraging. I’m truly happy and grateful that I joined! I didn’t expect to experience so many amazing benefits so quickly- not only am I learning how to defend myself and my loved ones while getting fit fast, but I also feel more empowered and fearless in other areas of my life and part of a wonderful community.
This gives me happiness, strength, and a sense of belonging- and as a single parent far from home, I needed this! 💜

Fantastic. Look no further. I spent 1 week training with Ben and Gemma, the best mix of professionalism and friendly environment, here you learn reality based self-defense skills and feel home from the very start. Not to mention the state of the art equipment and the cleanness of the facility... what else to say.. try yourself, you will love it and you will be grateful to me for the suggestion.

I love training at AMK Krav Maga. I had always wanted to start training in a martial art, and I finally took the leap in August 2024. I’m so glad I did as the instructors and students here have really enriched my life. Like most people, I felt quite nervous on my first session, but everyone made me feel immediately welcome and supported as soon as I stepped through the door. I love the way the sessions are structured and the way that Ben and Gemma walk around and interact with every student, giving personalised feedback and guidance. I really like the way Ben models and demonstrates activities from a range of angles and explains techniques with a sense clarity and real-world application that really helps you to learn and understand how and why the techniques and principles of Krav Maga are applicable to real-world situations. I also love the way that every lesson is varied and different, so you always come away having learned something new and having pushed yourself in a positive way. There is a lovely sense of community in the club; everyone is friendly and there is a really supportive atmosphere. I really look forward to every session and the self-defence skills have definitely boosted my self-esteem and self-confidence. I’m really excited about continuing to learn and grow with AMK Krav Maga.
