This facility is really a community of folks interested in all types of martial arts. The instructors are courteous but work you very hard - I lost 9 pounds in the first 2 weeks. For kids, it really looks like they have a well organized program from Jiu jitzu to wrestling, though my children did not attend these programs directly. I would encourage anyone who has driven by this facility to stop in and meet Master George. It's a bit intimidating meeting a world champion in anything, but you'll see this compound has evolved around his passion for the arts and his genuine interest in peoples' safety and health. It's a great experience.

Tried it based on the reviews and they are dead on. No nonsense place to train. Great instructors and great facility. Clean well equipped. Can't go wrong.I wanted to update this review. I’m military and have trained martial arts on and off my whole life. So I have trained at a lot of different martial arts schools. Even some in Korea. I can say without a doubt this is my favorite! The owner 100% runs it the way a martial arts school should be ran. He genuinely cares about teaching of the art above all else and genuinely understands how to take care of and relate to his students. I received orders to leave the area after only training for a short time and I failed to verify the status of my membership. Completely my fault and the owner was under zero obligation to fix my mistake but he did anyway up to the point he is letting me train my last few weeks in town for free. Schools like this with that kind of passion sharing knowledge and learning just doesn’t exist anymore. I’m really sad to leave and wish I could stay and keep training. I can see why he is so successful and why he has no negative reviews definitely 100% accurate!!!

Highly recommended to kids and adults of all ages.Real life threatening scenarios and how to get out safely are presented weekly if not every day. With Diana’s exceptional training skills, maser Geroge’s tremendous experience this is a place where real mental and physical skills are built.

This gym is exceptional!! We have only been a few times for private lessons but we are so thankful to have found George. It's rare to find someone so knowledgeable, skilled, and passionate about what they are doing. Can't wait to keep going.

My 15 year old son has been taking classes from Master George, Diana, and the rest of the team at Alpha Krav for the past 7 years. I can't say enough good things about the instructors (especially Master George and Diana) and the skills they have taught my son. I have no doubt that he can protect himself should he ever have the need, but more importantly taking classes at Alpha Krav has instilled in him an invaluable confidence. Master George and Diana are terrific instructors, and they are wonderful examples of how to be polite and respectful to others. I highly recommend signing your son or daughter up for classes.

What an incredible self defense training facility!! I have my children enrolled in their program and we love it! So much so that we commute 45 min one way to North Brooke from Logan square because we value the quality of their instruction.If you are looking for a facility that will teach discipline, and a realistic honest approach to self defense this is your place. The instructors are knowledgeable and excellent at what they do. I highly recommend.

They offer the best training in martial art that is very close to reality. The fitness program is also very good. The entire staff and facility are top notch. Everyone is very friendly and there is no shortage of advice you can get here from instructors or more experienced students. Master George rocks!

I start by saying, ignore the only negative review from Amy G whoever she is. The only yellings you hear from Diana are those of encouragement. She and her husband George, are the kindest and most authentic people you can meet. The facility they have built and the programs they have created are simply superb. That being said, they take your training very seriously and with the highest degree of professionalism. This is the most versatile and realistic teaching of self defence. Your fitness level will improve drastically as well. You are most likely to benefit from different approaches employed by different instructors here, e.g. from quite structured to a bit more free flowing. You can also choose the pure fitness program or the strictly self defence based one, or combine both. Whatever you do, you won't find better instructors and better environment for self improvement in both, physical and mental aspects. The latter one is especially vital when it comes to the self-defense realities around us, and Master George will make sure you get it. Alpha Krav Maga Compound, in two words, is superbly phenomenal or phenomenally superb.

The most realistic, real life training you can get. The instructors here are very patient and knowledgeable, and possess vast experiences in those situations you personally don't wish to be, but may want to be prepared, just in case. Learn practical, potentially life saving skills while getting superbly fit and acquiring some crucial mental toughness. The facility itself is fantastic, clean, airy and superbly equipped.
