We focus on simple, effective techniques that don’t rely on size or strength—just strategy and execution. You’ll learn how to strike with power, break free from holds, and turn the tables on an attacker using real-world tactics. With repeated drills and real-life scenario training, you’ll gain the confidence to trust your instincts and take control of any situation.

I have been in the KM program for 7-8 weeks and it has been great, the instructors are very nice and really know what they are teaching, I have learned some really cool self defense techniques, I highly recommend the program to anyone!
Shannon Moses
I just joined a couple weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier. All of the staff is extremely friendly, fun, and truly want to see you succeed. Joel is always there to greet you with a smile, and pop in classes to tell people how great they are doing. There is always fun music playing, and you really get in the zone. You jump right into the classes, and people that have already been taking the classes, help you as well. It’s only been 2 weeks and I can already feel my body getting tighter, and have learned awesome self defense moves.
This is a great place- highly recommend!

I become increasingly more dangerous with every opportunity to refine my skills in self defense. Steve Sulze and Eric Isaac always help refine my skills. Being increasingly more Dangerous makes me Safer!

I’ve been attending the women’s self defense classes for about 2 months. I LOVE them! Alison is a fantastic teacher. There is no reason to be intimidated, anyone can do this. Great workout, empowering, and such important life skills. Every staff member is welcoming. Fenton location is convenient. The workshops are also a great way to preview the space and vibes.
Sarah Schaefer
Heidi and Joel at the front desk are very personable, and knowledgeable. They know everyone on a first name basis, and make you feel right at home. We love that the classes are flexible to our crazy schedule. My daughter loves Mr. Tims class, but all the instructors there are wonderful! She always has a blast in class. Highly recommend!!
Dennis Kiefer
Great program for learning self defense and getting fit. Staff is friendly and helpful - they make you feel welcome. I have been in sessions with several different instructors to include the owner, Steve Sulze. All are very competent, skilled in KM and truly want to help students learn properly. The Fenton facility is well equipped and maintained - very clean. There are several venues available for getting fit and advancing self defense skills. Would recommend to anyone looking for self improvement.
Holly Henske
The instructors are great. They push us to work harder and perfect our form. They break techniques down so we can practice them step by step. And the drills are fun, but more importantly, very effective for training muscle memory. There is enough repetitive from week to week that we get a chance to really learn the moves, but not so much that it vecomes boring. There's something new almost every class. And there are plenty of class times to choose from.

Stephanie Curtis Lacavich
I've been to several gyms that included Kickboxing or Jiu Jitsu and this is nothing like those. I love the intensity and the challenges of the all of classes and every instructor legitimately know their stuff. Krav Maga is by far one of my favorites. Plus I'm also marathon training and this is by far the best cross training I've ever done.
Sarah Gray
The atmosphere at X-treme Krav Maga is amazing. I felt so welcomed and such a sense of community and teamwork. I can't wait to come back!

Azin Kaiser
Awesome place and the people are fantastic! They make learning fun. It has been wonderful for my kids too. They are obsessed with this place. The athletic training has been really good for them. My son is 7 and he can do real push-ups with the perfect form thanks to this place. My daughter loves this place loves learning with the other kids. I love every class they have for me and the more I go the more I love the classes. My husband hates working out and even he loves this place.
Arnold Keen
The active Shooter Defense class was excellent and the staff doing the class were excellent and extremely well-informed. I think every church, business, and restaurant should take this course and be prepared for the unexpected. It can happen anywhere at any time. Better to be prepared and never needed than unprepared and it does happen. Unprepared means DEFENSELESS.
Rob Smith
Recently came into contact with the owner. Seems to be a stand up leader who respects both his team's and his students' time. I had an appointment with him that was running long and as soon as he realized he could be late for a class, he respectfully made it clear that his students needs come before his own interests. That's a business with integrity. I have family members who swear by his training as well. Worth checking out.
Michael Hall
Great Trainers, Excellent Environment for Learning, Been Training here for a few months and the experience has been wonderful. Top Tier Gym!!!
