A great workout that builds both strength and endurance while you learn practical self defense skills. The classes are relatively small and accommodate men and women of all ages and skill levels. Scott and Mary are experienced, knowledgeable instructors that use real...

I first came to Krav Maga Raleigh through the 6 week fitness challenge. I was looking for something different to get me motivated and fit--and those fitness classes 3x a week did it for me! Cassie was my instructor throughout the 6 weeks, but after wrapping up the...

I recently took the Women's Self-Defense class and was thoroughly impressed at the instructor's knowledge, ability to offer individual feedback, easy-to-follow directions and the pace of the class. I think all of the women left the class with better knowledge of how...

Ok so march of 2017 I decided to start taking some form of self defense training. I picked Krav Maga Raleigh to be my spot. When I started I had zero experience in fighting, and I was 280 pounds. The staff is amazing at making sure they find ways to encourage the...

Triumphant at the end.

 

Welcome to the Krav Maga Raleigh Blog! Here you will get all the updates about Krav Maga Raleigh like new class announcements, test results, schedule changes, and upcoming events. You will also get self-defense and fitness advice, and links to relevant articles from around the internet.

There are several types of posts you’ll see here on the blog. The first is schedule announcements like new classes or holiday closings. We will also talk about our special workshops and courses like the handgun and other special weapon series, women’s self-defense workshops, and other special events.

After every test we post the results along with pictures and commentary from the test.

This blog will also post training articles, either written by Ken Richstad, the owner of Krav Maga Raleigh, or linked from outside sources. These articles could include fitness or nutrition advice, technical breakdowns of fighting techniques, or new training methods. We might post an article or video that gives additional perspective on something we covered that week in class. For example if we worked on head movement in sparring, then we might post a video of the famous boxer Sweet Pea Whittaker, perhaps the greatest defensive fighter ever to live.

Every Sunday we post the KravCast, Krav Maga Raleigh’s own podcast about Krav Maga, fitness, and more.

Finally we will post things that are not self-defense related but are relevant to the interests of people at Krav Maga Raleigh, like anything about bacon or Steven Seagal.
