  Spartans Academy is THE BEST Krav Maga school to boost your confidence and learn self-defence form incredible, approachable instructors who have got practical knowledge & years of experience. I’ve been training for as little as 3 months and I have already learnt SO much..didn’t expect Krav Maga to be so efficient and fairly easy to comprehend which is down to amazing instructors! Thank you☺️!

  My children have Krav Maga lessons here at Spartans and it's fantastic. The instructors are brilliant and classes are well structured and interesting as well as educational. There is a real focus on inclusivity and the class participants are very welcoming to new students. I would definitely recommend Spartans to anyone looking for well rounded self defense lessons for their child

  I love Krav Maga Spartans Academy's training methodology, I can feel the beauty of it: straightforward, effective, and understandable. I trained in Kickboxing and JiuJitsu before, I think they are good but could be intimidating or complicated for beginners, but Krav Maga is very novice-friendly, it contains many techniques you can internalize when you warm up and train in this training ground. I really admire the instructor who designed the training process. The genius point of the training process is, even a person who has no experience at all can still learn a lot in a very empowering way. The best teacher could be one who can make students have a great understanding of what they learned.

  I have been training with Spartans Academy of Krav Maga since 2018 ( I think! ). I am a fairly active, what shall I say, middle aged woman, who likes the cathartic nature of the sessions - who doesn't like hitting things hard after a day at work! Alongside the stress release, the sessions also provide invaluable training in how to respond to various situations where you might feel threatened. We are trained systematically, thoroughly and safely. That's not to say you won't go home bruised on occasion, that's just part of it. If you don't mind getting up close and personal to other people who are trying to get you in a head lock, and you like being with individuals of various ages, fitness levels and backgrounds then theses sessions could be for you!

  This is the easiest review I’ve made. From the trial on the first night, I was impressed by the level of skill and could immediately see how to integrate Krav Maga into daily life. This is not a martial art, but a system that will help you escape and survive should you find yourself in a difficult position. The instructors are very skilled and friendly. After 2 years, I am still as impressed and still learning. Thank you Spartans!

  I would absolutely recommend the Spartans classes! The confidence I gained was like nothing you could get anywhere else. Gheorghe who instructs the class is incredibly professional too, yet also very welcoming. You can tell that there is a lot of passion when it comes to teaching and improving all students. It was also really easy and straightforward to book. Quick and informative replies to a lot of questions I initially had. Thank you Spartans!

  I purchased a 6 month membership with The Spartans Academy of Krav Maga and I found the experience life changing. The confidence I established within myself due to the exposure and teachings of this course will be with me for many years to come. (Side Note - I can no longer attend the course due to clashing schedules, if I could I would) If you're considering this as a new hobby or otherwise, it is challenging but within that challenge is something profoundly impactful and life shaping. I took on this oppertunity as a means of getting some more exercise into my routine, what I found was much more than this. The classes are engaging and alive and the tutors work to constantly rework and reimagine their approach to teaching, leading to a consistenly evolving environment.

  If Carlsberg did a self defence Academy this would be it....... Dedicated, humble and expert instructors sharing a self defence system that is based on real life situations and real life techniques. Having a good time with a good bunch of like minded people from all walks of life. ALL helping,learning and sharing well spent time. Thank you Carlsberg (and SPARTANS Academy)!!

  People have all kind of excuses for not joining a martial arts or self-defence school, and I had all of them: inflexible and stiff, injury-prone, very uncomfortable with violence. Having trained with Spartans for more than a year, I can say it's one of the best thing I have done for my self. It's not complicated or fancy stuff, but simple moves that can be registered with muscle-memory and, thus, can work in real life. Perhaps even more important than the moves are the things one learns about situational awareness and how to foresee and avoid a danger or a fight. The instructors are experts who live and breathe Krav Maga. What has really impressed me is that, as opposed to traditional martial arts, they are not afraid to re-evaluate and even change a move if experience or 'field reports' from real life indicate that it won't work in an optimal way. Also, the environment is friendly and welcoming, and I have made friends with other Spartans. Overall, Krav is a humbling and empowering experience, and Spartans Academy is the best place to train. Thanks Gheorghe and Orjan!
