Our School
This is not a martial arts academy where you slowly learn skills that take years to master. That’s not true self-defense. Most people don’t really know what to do or how they’ll react in a life-or-death situation. That’s where we enter. Everything we teach is designed to help you learn to stay alive and fight off any attackers. Our programs revolve around Krav Maga, weapons education, physical fitness, and more. Each is crucial in keeping yourself safe when threats arise. There isn’t anyone on their way to help you—YOU are your first line of defense. Sometimes we die, but we never tap!
History
Harrison Krav Maga was opened in 2024 to provide a safe, reliable home for self-defense training. Our training follows the teaching of the founder of Krav Maga, Imi Lichtenfeld. Imi’s focus with creating Krav Maga was based solely on self-defense. In the mid 1930’s, fascist and antisemitic groups in Czechoslovakia began attacking Jewish neighborhoods. Imi realized that sport techniques didn’t work in real, street violence – no rules, no referees, multiple attackers, and weapons.
Imi developed a system focused on survival, not competition. Imi also designed Krav Maga to be:
- Fast to Learn
- Effective under Stress
- Based on Natural Reactions
- Usable by Anyone, Not Just Athletes
Harrison Krav Maga embraces Imi’s vision and will always uphold his core Krav Maga philosophy: So That One May Walk In Peace. The system is now used by the Israeli military and helps many people stay safe around the world.

Programs
Our programs will prepare you to defend yourself when faced with life or death situations, what actually happens in your body when adrenaline is present, and what you should do after a self defense situation. We teach weapons defenses and firearms education. We focus your training around these factors, putting you through simulated attacks in an effort to prepare you to recognize and handle violent encounters. Find the program that best suits you and will allow you to walk in confidence and peace.
Young Warriors Krav Maga (ages 5-12)
Our YOUNG WARRIORS KRAV MAGA program is a fun, encouraging alternative to traditional martial arts classes for kids. Instead of forms or kata, our YOUNG WARRIORS KRAV MAGA program teaches tools and techniques tailored for situations that commonly confront kids at school, on the playground, and in life. In our classes we stress awareness, self-defense, fitness, and confidence. By focusing on these real-world needs, kids are engaged in the learning process.
Our YOUNG WARRIORS KRAV MAGA program is a self-defense system that emphasizes the importance of environmental awareness, based on first avoiding any physical confrontation which is an important lesson for kids to know when presented with potential risks. If the situation escalates, this is when Krav Maga teaches swift and aggressive reactions that allow the child to defuse the situation safely and quickly to get out of danger. In addition to teaching kids’ self-defense techniques, we also incorporated a fitness aspect into the classes. This combination of self-defense and fitness provides some of the best tools for defense for younger individuals to avoid physical threats.
The benefits of YOUNG WARRIORS KRAV MAGA are endless and will surely last your child a lifetime. Below are just a few:
- Improved focus and concentration
- Overall better health and fitness
- Vital self-defense moves and tactics
- Increased self-confidence and esteem
- Child safety and awareness
- Anti-abduction
- Anti-bully
And so much more!
Teen and Adult Krav Maga
Our only focus is Israel combat systems self-defense. We start at the basics and work you up at your pace and comfort level. We are affiliated with Krav Maga Association that is recognized all over the world. Our Chief Instructors, Larry and Missi, also continue their training with KMA to continue to bring the most up to date and most advanced techniques to you.
In a street fight, there are no rules or referees, an attacker can do literally anything. That means you need the skills to be able to defend yourself against kicks and punches, but also grabs, grappling, wrestling, ground fighting, weapons, and multiple attackers. Because well taught Krav Maga is so comprehensive in what it teaches, it makes it very effective in a street fight situation, where anything can happen (it’s also why you really need an instructor with a huge depth of experience and knowledge – you don’t learn to defend effectively against all of those scenarios overnight).
Another key part of ‘street effective self-defense’ is learning how to avoid problems in the first place, to diffuse problems and calm the situation down, so everyone walks away safely. This too is an integral part of Krav Maga teaching, as is learning how to deal with the stress of a street fight or street self-defense situation, including the adrenal response and how to control it and use it to your advantage.
FIREARM FUNDAMENTALS
Do you own a firearm for self defense? We offer Firearm Fundamentals twice weekly. If you dont train with your carry weapon regularly, you most likely will not be able to stop a deadly threat with it. We are here to remove the false sense of security people have when they purchase a firearm for self protection and replace it with confidence in knowing your weapon, perfecting grip, draw, sites, and combat accuracy. We do this with education, dry fire repetition, and pre-planned range days. We want you to be confident and equipped with the skills necessary to protect yourself and others.
Krav Force
Are you in a security position? Do you work in dangerous environments, such as a jail as a corrections officer? If so, you can’t go into your job with little training. It can be your demise! Krav Force works to train law enforcement and those in training taught through the Krav Maga Alliance affiliation. Join us to learn to be as prepared as possible for your own safety and those around you!
