New Students and Your First Lesson
New Student Trial Period
Jump in and train all three of our styles — Krav Maga, Kali, and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu — for two full weeks, just $20. This is your no-pressure chance to see if martial arts is for you… and if you want to do it with us.
Your First Lesson
Want to have your very first lesson in self-defense? You don’t even need to leave your chair. It’s knowing what’s going on around you – situational awareness. Here are the crime reports for Falls Church, Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria. Know what’s going on in your neighborhood, and then come train with us.
Your First Visit
On your first visit, make sure you’re hydrated, and have had something to eat, but not too close to the class you’ve decided to attend. Please come a few minutes early so you will have an opportunity to get situated. When you enter the academy, feel free to introduce yourself to any of the students or teachers that are already there. They’ll show you where The Fighters Garage Contact and Waiver sheet is. Take the time to fill out both sides of the form. When you train with us, you’ll want to wear comfortable gym clothing. If you need to change into your gym clothing we do have changing rooms for you to use. We do ask that initially you go barefoot on our mats.
How To Train
Here’s how you’ll want to train during your initial two weeks at the academy: first, see how you interact with the students and instructors. Ask yourself if you can see yourself training here with our students, and if you can learn from how our instructors teach self-defense. Let’s face it, you’ll only continue training consistently when it’s an academy that you enjoy training at. And remember, when you are training with us, always take care of yourself and your partners. Never train so hard that you’d have to take a few days off before you came in again. We are always aiming at training for the long term, and so we want you to take care of yourself and your training partners.

Where The Fighters Garage Is Located
Testimonials From Our Students
Whether you’re looking for a excellent cardio workout or to develop a self defense skill set, Krav Maga is the answer. I once read that the most important self defense skill is the speed in which you can change the shock of a surprise attack into an aggressive, offensive mindset. The instruction and practice at KravWorks help students work towards that end. The techniques they teach are proven to be effective and are not complicated to learn. You use your own reactions and natural body movements to your offensive advantage. I highly recommend it.
After turning 40, I found myself trying to find a fun activity that would get me back into shape. Two different friends suggested The Fighters Garage as a place to not only get a great workout, but also to learn self-defense at the same time. Six months after starting Krav Maga, I began to study Gracie Jiu-Jitsu as well.
I am now in much better shape and have discovered a love for martial arts that I never knew existed. My only regret is not starting much sooner!
As a woman, knowing how to defend myself has been very important to me. Both myself and some of my friends have found ourselves in situations where knowing how to use effective self-defense can make a difference. You would never wait till you got into an accident to buy car insurance, or for your house burn down before you got homeowner’s insurance, why would you wait to learn self-defense? I didn’t. And if you’re going to learn self-defense, while having fun at it, The Fighters Garage is the academy to train at.
Having been in a number of self-defense situations, I value quality training. It can make the difference between life and, well, a really bad day. I have found that The Fighters Garage provides excellent instruction and a full range of self-defense strategies. I highly recommend training here for anyone who is serious about their self-defense needs.
