    My 6yo son has been a student at KMHR for over a year now and we’re incredibly happy with his experience there. He’s able to learn self defense with an emphasis placed on respecting himself and others. His instructors there teach and demonstrate a high degree of discipline, while maintaining an age appropriate atmosphere of fun and patience. We tried another program in the Williamsburg area, but prefer the approach, space and student to instructor ratio at KMHR. We have every intention of continuing his training there for years to come, realizing the full benefit of their program. I would highly encourage anyone considering a martial arts training program, for either themselves or their children, to try one at KMHR!

    Our son has been attending classes for almost 3 years. The instruction is age appropriate yet challenging and has improved his body control and strength over that time. More importantly however, he has gained respect for adults and we love the positivity and life lessons weaved into the training.

    The Krav Maga Hampton Roads Dojo is amazing! The instructors are really professional, experienced, passionate and provide a training environment that is safe, controlled, and encouraging for all students no matter your level of experience.

    I am a retired Army Veteran with 22 years of service and have tried various types of training to help stay healthy, physically fit and help navigate life with PTSD. I knew nothing of Krav Maga but decided to try it and see what it was all about. I have been a student for 6 months now and I can honestly say that these classes have not only empowered me to feel more in control of my physical abilities but also mental and emotional abilities as well. The basics, movements and combinations I have learned for self defense have helped me build a level of foundation with self confidence and motivation in my every day life.

    I would recommend this class to anyone no matter their age, or level of experience; it provides a unique experience for every individual and can be life changing.

    I started training with Instructor Shorts and the awesome team at KMHR September 2021. The training program run at KMHR is excellent and second to none. All members of Instructor Shorts team are top notch and great to work with. The KMHR team has helped me navigate my training goals, kept me motivated and encouraged me to expand my training into BJJ and sparring. I highly recommend Krav Maga Hampton Rhodes for anyone looking to better their self-defense training through real world application.
