Catalyst Krav Maga | Kids Krav Maga & Self-Defense Training

Kids’ Krav Maga & Self-Defense Training

Our Kids’ Krav Maga and Self-Defense classes teach children how to stay safe while building confidence, discipline, and respect. In a fun and supportive environment, kids learn age-appropriate self-defense skills, including how to handle bullies, recognize danger, and react quickly if needed. Training also improves coordination, focus, and self-control, helping children succeed both inside and outside the classroom. Kids’ Krav Maga is not only about defense — it’s about giving your child the tools to grow strong, confident, and prepared for life.
We have two different Kids' Krav Maga classes. Ages 5-7 and 8-12.

Kids Krav Maga 2-Lesson Trial

One private lesson plus one group class, so your child can get comfortable and see if Krav Maga is a fit. We have two age groups: 5–7 and 8–12.

What to Expect at Your First Session

  1. Meet Your Instructor

    Arrive, say hello, and get comfortable. Your child will meet their instructor in a supportive setting.

  2. Private Lesson

    Your child learns the fundamentals one-on-one with their instructor.

  3. Join a Group Class

    Try a group class with kids their age to see how training works with others.

  4. Talk Next Steps

    Talk through a plan that fits your child.

Who It’s For

  • Kids ages 5–7 and ages 8–12 — two age groups, each with their own class
  • Children who need age-appropriate self-defense, including how to handle bullies and recognize danger
  • Kids ready to build confidence, discipline, and respect
  • Children who could use more coordination, focus, and self-control

What to Wear & Bring

  • Your official Catalyst t-shirt is included with your joining fee and is required in class
  • Otherwise, wear what’s comfortable — sweat pants, BDUs, and trainers all work
  • Clothes sometimes get torn in training, so cheaper is better
  • Students under 18 need a guardian’s signature
  • Your first month is a “honeymoon” period — take breaks whenever you need them

What Our Students Say

My boys have grown physically and mentally in the last one & a half years they have attended Catalyst Krav Maga. Coach Brian is the absolute best and every game and session really teaches self defense. I’ve seen my oldest use the skills he has acquired here in a real life moment when he needed to defend himself. This gym is the real deal and worth every penny and moment spent.

We’ve had a great experience at Catalyst! The instructor's passion for Krav Maga rubs off on the kids. The way technique and fun are so beautifully intertwined it keeps my son engaged the whole class and excited to come back multiple times a week. The very first practice my son left knowing multiple different techniques which was very encouraging for him.
