STREET FIGHTING SECRETS BY CHAD LYMAN

I joined Las Vegas Combat Academy two years ago and it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. All the instructors are professional, friendly and more than willingly to help you learn the techniques. The atmosphere of the school is friendly as well. There are no big egos here. Everyone that joins is here to train and help one another get better. If you are looking for an alternative or supplement for your exercise routine, this is a great option. You become fit while learning how to defend yourself. The school no only has Krav Maga but BJJ, Muay Thai, Judo, MMA and kickboxing as well. Oh and ladies, the females are a tight and welcoming group that really come together and support one another.

I can truly say this will be a life changing event for you. If your looking to develop yourself as a person, get outside your comfort zone, or become the best version of your self. This school will definitely help you pursue your goals. The instructors are very passionate about their job. Their main priority is your safety, and will make sure you understand the techniques. So if you're ever placed in a situation. You can counter any threat if your ever put in that situation. Overall, it's a welcoming and fun atmosphere. The students are good about making you feel welcomed, and the instructors are awesome.

This is a place you can walk into and feel welcomed. Great instructors, great people, and a place full of good vibes. Rarely seen in martial art schools out here. Also, a great self-defense system that prepares you for REAL LIFE situations (chokes, knives, guns, multiple attackers, etc.), especially for women. If you are ever in Vegas or live there, I highly recommend you stop by this place and check it out. I believe you won't be disappointed.
