In my short amount of time learning Krav Maga, my fitness, awareness and confidence have been boosted and I know that if a situation presented itself I have the knowledge to defuse it or if need be de-habilitate the aggressor. It is also very fun and you get to train with some great guys and George’s knowledge and the way he instructs is clear and easy to learn . I look forward to continuing my training .

Krav Maga is an all-encompassing system, incorporating everything from the most common street attacks to ground fighting. As a student, I am constantly challenged and conditioned to incorporate the techniques taught by this system into my muscle memory. Self defence has become an instinctive mental and physical reaction for me. I want to particularly encourage other women to join the Spartans Academy of Krav Maga brotherhood. The Instructor and students are friendly, focused and determined to help each other progress within the system.

Krav Maga is a great self defence to learn and even after almost two years I’m still glad I took the decision to give it a go. George pushes our physical fitness to the maximum and teaches us invaluable techniques while also ensuring the class is both interesting and enjoyable enough to want to go back for more.

For me Spartans Academy does exactly what it says : a self-defence system that is effective & directly applicable to all types of street, pub fight etc. scenarios. The system’s moves are not over complicated – like other martial arts can be – and as such they can be learnt over a relatively short time period. For someone who wants to learn how to defend themselves effectively (including how to avoid confrontation scenarios in the first place) I would recommend Spartans Academy. George is 1st rate Instructor!

I have recently started going to Krav Maga in Hull, and it’s a great physical workout with the added bonus of learning a realistic martial art. To make things even better everyone who attends this class is friendly and helpful. It’s the best thing I’ve done in years.

I joined Spartans Academy in 2008. At first I was just looking to try some “martial art”. That all changed after the first 5 minutes. It was immediately apparent that George Husar is great at teaching the techniques and making us train hard while having a good time. I have been very fortunate to have been able to train with such a dedicated and talented Instructor. Dana has us train in a variety of environments, from outdoors to the gym to a small crowded room. The training at Spartans Academy is top notch. I’ve had the experience of training martial art and they’re just not as good. George don’t let you get away with sloppy techniques. I have been able to use some of the techniques out on the streets which I’ve learned in class. I have been lucky enough to never have had to use any kicks or punches, but I’ve used the strategies to avoid the dangerous situations completely. Just by being more aware of what’s going on around me and my environment has helped me avoid potentially dangerous situations.

I’ve always considered myself to be a confident person and someone who would probably never be attacked. After my years of training I came to realize I was never as confident as I am right now. I feel confident that if I’m attacked or if someone I care about is attacked while I’m with them, I will be able to make a safe defense and get away quickly. This confidence I have has also helped me at my job. I am looked to as a leader by others and if I look like I don’t know what I’m doing, I will lose their respect. This is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Thanks

George, our Krav Maga instructor, has given me the confidence and the ability to understand and address the majority of difficult situation that may arise, effectively and quickly.
Unlike most self defence systems Krav Maga is quite easy to learn and adapt to and I believe is the most realistic form of self defence systems out there.
George makes every class as fun and active as possible and after every class you come out feeling that you have achieved and learnt something extremely valuable in the art of self defence.

“Had a brilliant time on the Transilvania trip. As soon as we’d arrived and sorted ourselves out we got straight down to the training in the hotel night club; completely out of the normal training environment and in line with the krav maga philosophy to always be prepared. We were taken through three days solid of technique and skill improvement for attack, defence, weapons training and improved situational awareness with the training taking place in full light, half light and in the dark. Adrian and George were available throughout the whole trip to demonstrate and discuss the fine points of any technique with constant reminders of “200% defence” and “CHECK THE AREA!”. After the formal training and a great evening celebration we saw Transilvania in the best way possible – almost 1000km on the road, with many stops to open our eyes to what a beautiful and interesting country it is. I completely recommend the trip and definitely want to do it again.”

I have just returned from an epic week training and touring in Romania. The week consisted of two days training under the instruction of George and Adrian and a further four days visiting the sites of Romania. This was my first experience of training in another country and I would recommend it to anyone looking to gain some experience of intensive training and take a step outside their weekly training ‘comfort zone’. George and Adrian made sure the group trained hard throughout the sessions and introduced some new techniques and training elements that we had not come across in our weekly training sessions. The training group was good, including mixed sexes and Practitioners from the Liverpool, Manchester and London clubs.
Touring around Romania was a great experience and it was obvious that George had put a great deal of thought into the tour, ensuring that we saw some of the best sites Romania has to offer. In addition to visiting Vlad the Impaler’s castle (a definite must see), we visited Monastries, Mines, different cities in Transilvania and toured the Romanian coutryside.
I would recommend the trip to anyone who is thinking about expanding their training experience and looking to visit an area of the world they might not otherwise visit. I am certainly looking forward to any future tours!
