Why Students Choose Forge Krav Maga — San Francisco’s Most Complete Self‑Defense School
If you're searching for the best Krav Maga school in San Francisco, you’ve probably noticed a lot of gyms promise fast results. At Forge, though, we do things differently. Here's why students choose Forge over other options:
1. We Lead the Pack in the Bay
Forge is the only Krav Maga school in SF that teaches Pekiti Tirsia Kali, a top-tier Filipino weapons system specializing in knives and sticks. Add that to our Krav Maga, Kickboxing, Boxing, and focus BJJ fundamentals, and it’s a full-spectrum self-defense system engineered for the real world.
2. Expert Instructors You Can Trust
Our coaches aren’t part-time assistants—they’re graduate-level certified and battle-tested instructors, including multiple women leaders who bring to the mat both elite skill and diverse perspectives. That depth of talent isn’t common in SF Krav Maga studios. Don’t just take our word for it—read what students are saying about their training and the instructors at Forge.
3. Real‑World, Pressure‑Tested Training
We don’t do pad work for instagram likes. Our drills are built around stress, surprise, and fatigue, mirroring what could happen on a train, in a garage, or when a life changes in seconds. Staying standing isn’t just a drill—it’s a mindset challenge, and we train accordingly.
4. A Strong Mindset That Sticks With You
Forge isn’t just about technique—it’s about discovering resilience. Our community is built on the principle of fighting through discomfort, learning from mistakes, and bouncing back harder. That grit stays with you well after you leave the gym.
5. A Supportive, No‑Ego Training Community
From your first roundhouse kick in a P1 class to grappling drills in P4, you’re training with classmates who want you to win. Forge is family, not competition—and that safe, supportive vibe helps beginners feel free to learn.
6. Flexible Schedule That Fits Your Life
7 days a week, morning-to-night classes in Krav Maga, Kickboxing, Boxing, Kali, BJJ, and Fitness.
Busy schedule? No problem. Forge fits your life, not the other way around.
