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. Gheorghe 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.

What Our Students Say
Read verified reviews and success stories from men, women, and children who train at Spartans Academy across the UK.
Jacob (nearly eleven years old) really loves his Self Defence lessons, and as a parent I love him going. It’s a great hobby but more importantly Jacob has already used what he has learned to defend himself against a much bigger and older boy in school, who got my son in a very dangerous headlock from behind. Jacob goes to what I would describe as a “very nice” school (not like my old school!!!), and the teachers handled the situation appropriately afterwards… I however think Jacob handled the situation better. I am very pleased that he was able to look after himself, he has showed a bully that he won’t be pushed about, that he can and will defend himself. Thanks to the team Jacob came away with a few bruises rather than a serious injury. Thanks team! From Jacob and his parents.

Although some people see Krav Maga as a way to learn self-defence, it is much more than that.
I have seen people gain a lot of self-confidence, getting fitter, more determined, be able to focus better, lose weight, learning life skills and getting in a good strong mental state.
Spartans are people who train hard, help each other to surpass their perceived limits and push you on when you want to give up.
Personally, I don’t know many other communities that are as close-knit and inclusive. I am proud to be part of this bunch of people.
To experience this magnificent world you just need to join it, so come on and take that first step towards your new life and happiness!

Xtreme Krav Maga and Newcastle Class
I’ve done five different martial arts over ten years, and your class of Krav Maga, in my opinion, is the most practical, and I’m the fittest I’ve been in years. Love Krav Maga.
Chris
We all really enjoyed the session and everyone got something positive out of it. We all feel better prepared should something happen. Hopefully it won’t!
The session was pitched at just the right level for us all and physically everyone could participate which was ideal.
The team also said it was great that the information we learned could be used in our personal as well as work lives!

I absolutely love going to Krav Maga. It is the best part of my week. It’s changed my life and made me feel so much more confident within myself and in everyday life. I feel that everybody should know how to defend themselves. The Instructors are first class and there are no egos in the club, just like minded people who want to be able to protect themselves in different situations. Everyone is made to feel welcome.Thank you so much all for your help and support.
