Starting Monday, July 19th, Krav Maga Maryland – Columbia will have a new schedule in effect, with loads of new training options and programs!  To access a copy of the schedule online, click here.  Here's an overview of the new features of this schedule:

 -In response to requests from many of our students, we have added additional Level 1 Krav Maga classes on Monday nights at 7:30pm and Saturday mornings at 11:30am.  All the previous Level 1 classes that have been on the schedule are still at their scheduled times.

-A new fight class, called Fit to Fight, is scheduled for Tuesdays and Saturdays.  Fit to Fight is a mixed-martial arts training program designed specifically to complement the skills developed during Krav Maga training.  Unlike previous fight classes at Krav Maga Maryland, Fit to Fight is open to students of any experience level, including Level 1 students.  However, students must have either an Advanced (Krav Maga + Fight) or Elite (Krav Maga, Fitness, + Fight) membership type.  If you’d like to upgrade your membership to include our fight programs, please contact Erika Kilchenstein, our membership director, at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .  All students who attend Fit to Fight class should have 16-ounce boxing gloves, mouthpiece, headgear, and groin protection. 

-Every Wednesday in August at 5:30pm, we will be featuring a 4-session class called “Prediction, Protection and Prevention.”  This class, taught by Krav Maga Maryland Chief Instructor, Jeff Mount, will focus on the “soft skills” of self-defense.  These skills include threat recognition, understanding predatory behavior, verbal de-escalation, and transitioning to physical self-defense skills.  The cost of this course is $79 per person.  For more information on this course, click here, or contact Jeff via e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it  

-We now have early-morning fitness classes!  Combat Fitness, a functional, circuit-training class, taught by Juan Ponte, will be held at Krav Maga Maryland – Columbia at 6:00am on Monday and Wednesday, and 8:00am on Saturday.  All classes are 1 hour long.  No equipment is necessary.  Anyone who has a membership that includes Fitness is welcome to attend. 

-For greater comfort, safety, and availability of our students, Heavy Bag Fitness classes will now be held in Room 2.  16-ounce boxing gloves are still required for all participants in this class.
