The idea of learning self-defense seemed impossible at first, until I took classes at the Toronto Krav Maga Academy. Chris is extremely skilled and patient and walks you through each technique, step-by-step, explaining as many times as needed. It is very practical. You don't need to be fit or athletic to get started. I wished I'd joined years ago. The feeling of empowerment, is unmatched.

TKMA is a fantastic environment to learn and develop self-defence techniques for real-life scenarios. The head instructor, Chris, teaches in a manner that benefits all students at varying levels; regardless of previous experience. Overall, everyone is extremely friendly and it is a great place to acquire a skill that you can use the rest of your life.
What started off as curiosity has quickly metamorphosed into an activity that is now, the highlight of my week. I was concerned that I'd make a fool of myself because I knew absolutely nothing about KRAV MAGA except that I was determined to learn. It can seem intimidating at first but once you allow yourself to relax you'll find it is a warm, friendly and fun atmosphere! Yes, FUN!!! Who doesn't like an adrenaline rush? I have had the opportunity to be around Chris, Jean-Paul (a renowned, worldwide instructor) and Ray, who has been my instructor since I started. He has been awesome! I especially like that he is empathetic, patient and humorous! He is very accommodating of my awkwardness and encourages me and I find that, invaluable and equally, motivating. I plan to devote more of my time to mastering this! At the end of the day, no amount of money can compensate for having the ability to be able to defend yourself in DANGEROUS situations. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
I've been talking my kids to this Krav Maga gym since 2016 and they LOVE it!! Chris is an amazing instructor and he's very good and patient with kids. All the kids are having fun and I'm amazed to see how quickly they learn self defense techniques for real life situations and how they've developed their confidence and awareness. NO MORE BULLYING ISSUES :) It's unfortunate that there are no classes these days, due to COVID, but we can't wait for the gym to reopen. Maybe some Zoom classes, Chris???
I noticed 2 distinct things when I went to take a class at this place: 1. The instructor was welcoming and focused on creating a positive, safe atmosphere (he had a great attitude and good sense of humour). 2. The instruction & demonstrations were very clear and well detailed. The quality was evident. This scored high points with me because I work in an elite and physically technical field -right away I could see that Chris valued good, clean technique and made sure he explained all the details of the moves clearly with an emphasis on moving slowly at first to master the progressions. I also took a class with the instructor from France, Jean-Paul (I think). He was billed as former French Foreign Legion. Super nice guy -and ya, you can tell he's the real deal! I have continued attending because the way the classes are conducted keeps my skill level growing, the workout is good, and they're always supportive when I need help. Additionally, I saw Chris's young daughters in a class and was impressed with their technique. So I brought my young daughter to the kids class. She is learning quickly and loves it. As a dad I am so glad to offer her these important skills (along with a great workout!). Safe, comfortable atmosphere, good people, quality instruction, good workout -I would not hesitate to encourage anyone to check this place out.
