Tiffini Glinka & Taylor Freeman/Pure Krav Maga

The training at Pure Krav Maga follows a structured curriculum that builds real skills over time, starting with foundational movements and progressing to advanced scenarios. Classes are designed to develop striking, defenses against common attacks, situational awareness, and the ability to respond under pressure. Each phase reinforces practical application, so students don’t just memorize techniques – they know how and when to use them.

The result is real confidence, improved fitness, and the ability to stay calm and effective in high-stress situations. Training is reality based, modern defensive tactics utilizing scenario-based training to offer predictable outcomes for striking, clinch fighting, ground and grappling defenses, weapons defenses, and close quarters fighting.

They are also a non-profit gym because they believe access to self defense and fitness training should not be based on anyone’s financial situation. They have a grant application for those who would like to apply for a free or reduced membership.
