IDF Krav Maga School

I'm considering myself fortunate to have access to this high level of Krav Maga training here in the Mid-Island region. The sessions are incredibly well taught and organized and as a result one can feel improvement of his/her skills every single week. Omri Serper is extremely knowledgable and genuinely committed to his students' success. If you want to learn real Krav Maga and with it the most effective self defense on the planet, then I absolutely recommend Omri Serper and IDF Krav Maga school.

Real street self defense!
Professional instructor!

Truly a great experience! I have attended both the group classes and private lessons. Instructor Omri’s approach to teaching and his knowledge of his craft is exceptional. The experience and value go so far beyond my expectations for self defence, fitness, and community. You must try IDF Krav Maga School in Nanaimo.

I've done both group and private lessons with IDF Krav Maga school's head instructor, Omri Serper, and thoroughly enjoyed both. The group lessons were great for the diversity of training and for getting exposure to more advanced level work, which was really fun.

The fitness portion is always tough, not just physically but mentally and, unlike fitness classes I've taken at gyms, I loved it. The workout was very strenuous but I felt very confident in Omri's experience and it was just enough to be very challenging without being dangerous (I had some physical issues and they modified the fitness activities to suit me and it actually improved my condition).

The 1-1 sessions are where my skill level really improved as I had personal attention to every technique; learning to do it properly and being able to practice it with an expert. Omri was able to correct my mistakes immediately and provide me with explanations as to why my technique was wrong and how to correct it myself and then perfect it. The extra attention of the 1-1 sessions made a big difference in the learning curve and was worth the extra money. I feel very confident in my ability to defend myself and my family, if I ever needed to, and actually believe that this confidence makes the likelihood of my being a victim less.

Omri's style is very no nonsense and tough but professional and I know I am learning from an expert who is looking out for me. As someone who hated to work out, I was really surprised by how much fun IDF Krav Maga is and find myself practicing and wanting to train all the time. I also really appreciated the fact that I was learning IDF Krav Maga from an Israeli who was certified by the Israeli Defence Forces.
