After training for 8 years at a family style MMA dojo nearby, I switched over to Bucks County Krav Maga and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. All of the instructors have years of experience training in Krav Maga, and that is the only style they teach. The instructors at the MMA place took a "weekend certification" course and call themselves Krav Maga Alliance but none of the instructors every had any formal training nor belt ranks in Krav Maga, and most of what they teach is still MMA. It takes years, not a weekend, to learn this well enough to teach it.

Would like to attend and learn more
