"Krav Maga has been a wonderful experience. I've learned how to defend myself and fight back. Michael and Sean are great instructors and easy to talk to. They take the time to make sure everyone understands each move. I love every class! It's not just a full body work out but also technically challenging."-Joy
I have been studying martial arts for ten years. I have studied many disciplines and trained in three countries. The Krav Maga and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes at the Silverback academy are the best martial arts training I have ever had. The methods are practical, the techniques are sound, the instructors are top quality, and we are a family. You will not find a better place to train. Hope to see you on the mats!

I started Krav Maga training this last January because I wanted to be able to defend myself and family. It was great because both instructors (Michael and Sean) completely understood this line of reasoning. After a few months of training I realized my core strength and flexibility had improved, and my stress levels had decreased significantly. This has been an amazing change in my life because I have had lower back surgery and have shoulder issues also. Krav has not only increased my ability to defend myself, but has helped me heal from these past injuries, and has improved my character because of the discipline required, and how humbling it is to realize how little you know. I look forward to every class because the people I train with are fun, and because Sean and Michael are solid individuals as well as amazing Krav instructors.

I’ve been training in martial arts my entire life and used to think I knew how to defend myself. It wasn’t until I started taking Jujitsu and Krav Maga at the Silverback Academy that I realized just how impractical my experience in Karate, Taekwondo, and wrestling really was. Over the past year Sean and Michael have changed my entire outlook on self-defense. For anyone who is serious about learning practical self-defense or just getting into great shape I would definitely recommend trying both Krav and Jujitsu at the academy.

Upon my first visit to the Silverback Academy, I had almost no grappling experience or knowledge of ground fighting. I quickly realized when it came to both, I was a fish out of water. Through the months of training with both Sean and Michael, I gained new skills in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and other grappling arts, as well as refining and correcting techniques learned from previous martial arts experiences. Supportive coaching and practical, easy to follow instruction from both of them has helped me reach my goals in both BJJ and Krav Maga. The other students here are also really great people, who take the time to help newcomers out. .
