Davide's Yorktown Total Fitness

User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

This is another version of a review I’ve written elsewhere online. I’m very thankful so I’d like to let others know about this business.

I drive far to get there because the owner (and head instructor) is the only man I trust with my particular situation. I have family members I have to keep safe. I take private classes myself also. Our instructor has gone out of his way to help us, and amazes me with his concern for our safety and well-being. He is also dedicated to teaching us effectively and quickly - more quickly than others because of our circumstances. He happens to be one of the rare instructors who has a Black Belt in Krav Maga. The staff is also kind, caring, and considerate. They specialize in Krav Maga, Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and classes for Law Enforcement officers. The facility is spacious (15,000 sq ft) and modern.

When I first arrived, I could see immediately that this was a place for serious people. Our instructor made the kids feel safe, was sensitive to their trauma, and very aware of what it takes to protect them. After a few lessons, they were surprisingly able to hurl a grown woman across the room. (She regrets volunteering!) This may not be enough to stand up to a big, burly attacker but for children as frightened as they once were, it was a fantastic start. (It was also very relieving.)

About my own classes - I have physical limitations due to previous injuries. Krav Maga is adaptive and ever-advancing, so he has used my inabilities to help me realize what I can actually do. He modifies certain moves to make them work for me. I've learned a tremendous amount and am encouraged not to give up. He's fast, sharp, very intelligent, a great person, and I don't trust anyone else. I have my children's safety at stake.

I highly recommend Davide's Yorktown Total Fitness and I absolutely recommend our instructor above anyone else.
