Looking for a Martial Arts school in CA

Gents,

I am trying to find a Krav Maga school in or around Monterey, CA. If that is not available suggestions will be appreciated.

A quick google search shows a gentleman teaching two nights weekly at the Aikido of Monterey club. The gentleman is listed as a "level 2 instructor" of "Commando Krav Maga" - which I assume is the same as Krav Maga.

Classes M/W starting at 2015
Aikido of Monterey
1251 10th Street
Monterey
Across from the Naval Post Graduate School

Impressions from the Aikido of Monterey website - the dojo appears well established (been up for 35+ years) with senior instructors. The announcement of the Krav Maga classes was from 17May2010 so I am assuming they are still going on, but a quick phone call could verify.

You may want to vet him with someone for the organization - he is not currently listed as a certified instructor on the Commando Krav Maga website.

Thanks for the reply back. I appreciate you taking the time to look that up. I saw that and others when I did the google search. What I am looking for is info from anyone who has been stationed in the area and can give a good recommendation.

I've heard good things about the jujitsu school on lighthouse but it looks too "traditional" if you're wanting Krav. I haven't seen too many schools in the area that seem like efficient systems to me (mostly family dojo stuff) I'll ask around though

wish I could be more help...

When I ran this topic by friends and acquaintances I got the, "my instructor/art is the best" feed back that is virtually worthless. The commando krav maga web site that comes up on google makes me cringe.
I taught Kempo for 17 years and I tend to judge martial arts instructors the way I judge wine: the fancier the label, the shittier the content. Krav Maga is an excellent system if its taught by an excellent instructor. I'm afraid I didn't get any referrals in the area that were worth passing on.
Please let me know what you find.
