It all starts with an induction.
Seventy-five minutes. Beginners only.
You don't tour the building and get sold to. You train.
The induction is a proper first lesson, led by a head instructor whose job is teaching people who have never done this before. You'll learn real fundamentals, try them under light pressure, and leave knowing whether this is for you.
You don't get fit enough to start Krav Maga. You start Krav Maga, and get fitter. No experience and no fighting shape required. Everyone in the room was a beginner once.
Your $39 counts toward joining. Free to reschedule with notice.
Your first 75 minutes.
So you can picture the whole thing before you walk through the door. No surprises, and nothing asked of you that you haven't already agreed to.
Arrive
Come in normal workout clothes. We'll meet you at the desk, show you around, and introduce you to the coach taking your class. Get there ten minutes early if you can.
Meet your instructor
Your induction is led by a head instructor whose job is teaching beginners. They'll ask what brought you in and what you want out of it, then build the session around that.
Learn real fundamentals
Stance, movement, and your first genuine defenses. Not a demo and not a workout tease: actual technique you could use.
Try it under light pressure
Controlled partner drills at beginner pace, so you feel how a technique starts becoming a reaction rather than something you have to think about.
Ask anything
Meet the coaches, see the school, ask about programs, schedules, or anything on your mind. No question is too basic.
Go home
No membership decision required that day. If it felt right, your $39 credits toward your Foundation Month whenever you're ready.
Pick a time that works.
Live availability from our booking system. Inductions run several times a week at the TriBeCa studio and fill to twelve people, so everyone gets coached.
$39, credited toward your Foundation Month when you join. Life happens: reschedule free with notice. You'll get a confirmation right away and a reminder on the day, and we'll be expecting you at the door.
What to bring, what to wear.
Wear
Whatever you'd wear to the gym. T-shirt, shorts or leggings, trainers. No uniform, and nothing to buy before your first class.
Bring
Water and a towel. That's it. All the training equipment you need is here and included.
Arrive
Ten minutes early so you can change, meet your coach, and start the class settled rather than rushed.
The things people ask us first.
I've never done anything like this. Will I be out of place?
No. The induction is beginners-only, and most of our members had zero martial arts experience when they started. You'll train alongside women and men of every age, size, and level, and the coaches are hired as much for how they teach as for what they know.
I'm not in great shape. Should I get fit first?
Come as you are. Classes scale to your level, and getting fit is a side effect of training here, not a prerequisite.
Is it safe? Will I get hurt?
Training is intense but controlled. Instructors go through years of vetting, background checks, and supervised teaching before they lead classes, and beginners are never thrown in with advanced students.
What happens after the induction?
If you enjoyed it and we think you're a fit for the community, you'll be invited to start your Foundation Month: four weeks of unlimited classes built around a 10-class fundamentals curriculum, for $397 with your $39 induction credited, plus a free two-week extension if life interrupts. After class 10, you choose a membership, or you don't. Your call.
What if I can't make my booked class?
Reschedule free with reasonable notice. Just reply to your confirmation text or call the studio.
One class is all it takes.
You don't need to decide whether Krav Maga is for you today. Take one class and find out.
