Merci Roy pour ce super stage

I’m so happy I found REKM!! I just completed my first month and I’ve been having a blast. Classes are super fun and compelling. The Instructor Roy teaches all the classes - which is a massive plus because he originally trained Israeli Special Forces in Krav (like what?! So cool!!). Everyone in class are really friendly. Had the chance to make new friends and just love REKM. Excited for my second month. Yeah! 🙂

I love this place! I have trained in other areas of martial arts and contact sports and I get the best all around training at REKM. I started 6 months ago and this is the best decision I have made since I moved to LA. Sensei Roy is tough but it has made me stronger both physically and mentally. I am in much better shape working with him and I know that if I stay here I can only get better. I have met some great friends here as well. This is not a gym. It is a community. Everyone is working hard toward their own goals but has great attitudes and is very welcoming. I recommend joining the club....it will change you for the better.

What an amazing place to boost your skills, confidence and fitness level. The members here are kind, helpful and friendly. I went for a week-long vacation in L.A just to try out the classes. What a great experience! I learned so much in just a week and am eager to continue to train with Krav Maga’s system of training. Sensei Roy is an outstanding teacher, he knows when to step in to step in to challenge you, when to give feedback and when to support your confidence. I wish he was in Vancouver because he has sparked a lifelong change in me. I am so lucky my friend Adina took me there! I recommend everyone to try it out…you will love it and learn a lot about yourself!

Sensei Roy is amazing with the kids and our daughter loves him! She started on a free week long trial and was completely engrossed in it after the first class. When we came home that day she was practicing what she had learned. The staff is very nice and patient. What we like best is how Sensei is able to focus on each individual student in the class and how it's geared towards self defense and fitness not showy moves. If you want a great martial arts course for you or your child REKM is definitely the place.

Best Krav Maga dojo in LA. Sensei Roy is known worldwide as a master in Krav Maga. You learn a lot in a short amount of time because of Roy’s guidance. All the classes are intense and will satisfy anyone who wants to learn a practical and effective martial art or who just wants to get a good workout in. Highly recommend for anyone interested in fitness and martial arts.

I have been going to Krav Maga L.A. since 2010, when it was at the old building. The new building on Washington Blvd is very nice, and Sensei Roy is an amazing instructor that gives personal attention to his students.

I comute to Krav Maga L.A. from Orange County. Why... because Sensei Roy pays attention to detail and technique. I have an extensive martial arts background, and I firmly believe that learning the proper technique is extremely important.

If you want to learn real Krav Maga that you can actually use to defend yourself, I strongly recommend Krav Maga L.A.

Krav, REKM, and Sensei Roy will bring out the fighter in you. Been with REKM for 2 years now and have gained the confidence, the training, and the wits to handle myself in bad situations. This program is not for people who simply want to pay for a martial arts belt. Prepare to have bruises the size of grapefruits, busted knuckles, busted lips, and other badges of true, gritty hard work. The program accommodates every proficiency level and make no mistake--it will push you to work harder and be better.
