Katalyst Krav Maga - Martial arts school in Virginia Beach - 349 Southport Cir Ste 111, USA

Amazing team and culture at Katalyst! The culture is amazing. Everyone is welcoming and helpful. David is a phenomenal Instructor who not only provides great training and techniques, but emphasizes safety first. I can’t recommend this school enough!!

I’ve been training with Katalyst for about 3-4 months and I personally feel like I’m making significant progress. I have no martial arts or combative background so I’m learning from the ground up. The Katalyst team is welcoming, friendly, and I enjoy the atmosphere. I can now throw punches, kicks, and put up a reasonable defense. I am also learning some grappling. Since I’ve only been training for a short time I know there’s a lot to learn. I would recommend Katalyst to the humble beginner. I can’t speak as an experienced martial artist but with time and persistence I feel like Katalyst can help me stay on track.

David and his team had the perfect balance of warm and welcoming and pushing me to my limits to better myself. Katalyst expertly identifies needs and teaches how to overcome them. Their focus on fitness doesn't require you to be fit to start, but motivates to that direction.

Great people, great culture! David is an excellent coach and makes the material really easy to understand. The students there a testament to he teaching abilities and everyone is so welcoming.

These people are professionals. The owner was more than helpful for a newby like myself. Very patient and meeting me where I am at. I also got to train with others from his gym and you can tell the quality of training that comes from them

Every woman and every teen needs to be taking classes here! I started over a year ago and my confidence in protecting myself, and loved ones, as well as my situational awareness has significantly increased. I’ve learned techniques that can take a man 2x my size down. Weapons week and grappling are my favorite, but grips and holds are by far the most important to learn for everyday situations. The instructors are AMAZING - although it’s a group class, they constantly give one-on-one critique because their #1 goal is safety first. I wish I was introduced to this studio sooner.

I have been coming to classes at Katalyst for almost 5 months now and I love it! I was interested in learning self defense, but had never done any form of martial arts training before. I was nervous my first class, but Sara, David, Tara, and everyone in class made the environment feel comfortable. Coach David is very knowledgeable and patient. The atmosphere at Katalyst is welcoming and everyone is supportive and encouraging. Classes are challenging but very rewarding. I love coming to Katalyst and am so appreciative for everything I have learned thus far in training. Thank you Coach David, Sara, and everyone at Katalyst!

David was very helpful and supportive in class and made sure all my needs were met. Great classes if you want learn self defense and shed some lbs.
