Highly recommended!! Both of my kids age 13 and 5 have been enrolled. My oldest Has ADHD and this program has definitely helped his focus and concentration. They both have shown that they have gained self defense techniques, confidence, and respect for others from this program. Guru Tim is great with both of them!

Master Tim has a clear passion for his craft, and his skilled instruction has been very positive for my son. Thank you Tim for all that you do!

Great school, daughter has gone for over 5 years

This is an awesome school. Guru Tim is an outstanding teacher for kids and Adults

Stick fighting, Staff work, Knife defenses, bare hand against multiple attackers, it’s all here. Truely exceptional training at the highest level is available.

I’ve been studying from Guru Lucas for 7 & 1/2 years – and he is a person of high quality and great knowledge. I encourage anyone who has ever been interested in martial arts to take a class. You will not be disappointed.

I’ve been studying in martial arts here since 2008 I’ve learned a lot and have a lot of confidence in what I learn to defend myself I think it’s a great system to learn

Excellent, practical training. Guru Tim blends the training with street smarts so you really understand the “why” of certain techniques.

I now have two children in Guru Tim’s classes and it has been an awesome journey to see how far they have come.

Guru Lucas does an amazing job as an instructor. Everything he teaches is very practical, but it also maintains the traditions of the arts to give a good balance between theory and practice.

My grandson Anthony has learned so much from Guru Tim in the martial arts. He started at 4.5 years old and is reaching his journior black belt in Dec 2018 at the age of 8.5. He is self discipline and has matured over the years. Thank you to Guru Tim for taking out the time Continue Reading

After 30 years in the martial arts, I can honestly say this is the best school in Erie for practical self defense training. I’ve trained with different instructors over the years from New York to Los Angeles, and Tim is the most comparable instructor I’ve ever trained with locally.

My husband and I and our two children started with Erie Krav Maga in late September of this year. In just that short amount of time, I have seen growth and improvement in each one of us. This well rounded class covers not only the physical aspects of the art: kicks, punches, weapons training, but Continue Reading
