I was looking for a new club to join, liked the way Sid spoke in his articles.Been going for 1.5 months, feel fitter and more confident. Sid is relaxed, informative and keeps the instructions simple. Sid has taken time after the classes to provide tailored exercises.The other club members are good people who provide help and support.

It was serendipitous that I found Sid!I needed a truly tailored 1-to-1 programme — I'm a busy professional with limited time and availability, but in an increasingly uncertain world, I wanted to gain essential tools to defend myself, if and when that situation arises, despite my particular vulnerabilities. Sid provided exactly what I hoped for and to the icing is that he is 15 min drive from me!

A 40-something's honest take on Krav Maga at Alpha Urban Krav MagaLet me be upfront, I'm not here to instil good sense into bad people. I ain't no daredevil :) I came to Krav Maga to keep my body fit, functional, and frankly, to get my mojo back. If some solid self-defence skills come along for the ride? That's a serious bonus.If that sounds like your kind of deal, this is your dojo.A bit of context:I'm a 40+ male who has never trained any martial art in his life. Outside of tennis twice a week, I barely move. They say your 40s is the age where you make it or break it and I decided I wasn't going to break. I wanted to move my body in a way that builds real functional fitness for the long haul, not just chase aesthetics.Ten months in with Sid, and I genuinely feel great in my body.What drew me to Krav Maga specifically is that it's built around leverage, not brute strength. For someone who isn't powerfully built, that matters. Here you will pick up practical techniques that could actually serve you if something unexpected happens while you're out on the high street.Beyond the physical skills, it quietly trains your mindset too: stay aware, stay ready, keep your head up, chin-down :)For anyone on the fence, I'd strongly recommend starting with the 6-week Beginners Foundation Programme. It's a condensed, low-pressure way to build a solid base and genuinely figure out whether Krav Maga is the right fit for you. No obligation but well worth it.And a word on Sid: deeply knowledgeable, skilled, and one of those instructors who keeps the energy in the room alive. He's always a phone call away and makes every session genuinely enjoyable.!!! Best decision I've made in my 40s so far. !!!

I cannot recommend Sid and Alpha Urban Krav Maga enough.I found Sid after an interaction with a very aggressive individual in London when, in that moment, I realised I had not idea how to properly defend myself if it got physical. By the end of my second session with Sid I had learnt a number of techniques to give me confidence in similar situations and since then I have learnt, and continue to learn, something new in every session.The classes cater for all ages and all abilities and you really don’t need to be fit or strong to make urban Krav Maga techniques work.Sid is an extremely knowledgeable, patient and encouraging tutor who will demonstrate everything as many times as needed.The classes take place in a very relaxed atmosphere with a great bunch of people which really encourages learning.If you are looking to build some self-defence confidence, this really is the place to come.

I honestly found everything I'm looking for and I'm taking so much back from our classes. I was always concerned how combat and self defense classes could be intimidating and how I would fit in, but Alpha Urban have a strong group of folks that I identify myself a lot with.To be completely honest, I started my search for martial arts to help me cope with anxiety, and I found everything I was looking for:Encouraging master, nice group of people, beginner friendly, chilled atmosphere. The fact that you walk out of every single class feeling that you've learnt something new you can apply straight away is amazing for anxiety management.I can only thank Sid and the guys for everything.
