ABOUT US

SPAR Self Defense was created for the purpose of teaching everyone regardless of age, gender, size, or experience the ability to effectively defend themselves.

SPAR is comprised of a phenomenal team of instructors who have come from all different backgrounds and walks of life. Each instructor brings with them life experience from all levels of reality training including military, law enforcement, SWAT Team, traditional martial arts, competitive fights and actual real life street experience. They have experienced what it feels like to be in life threatening situations, some of them in their everyday lives.

All of our Krav Maga instructors are high level Black Belts in Krav Maga with decades of experience. We choose to teach Krav Maga because it is proven to be the most effective discipline to learn and deploy quickly and efficiently in real life scenarios. We have built our reputation as being known to have the most authentic Krav Maga Program in The Western New York and surrounding areas. Our Belt Program is proven and effective. Our belts are earned not given out based on attendance. This also goes for our Krav Maga for Kid's Program. We are the only school locally to teach Krav Maga to kids starting at age 5.

It may someday save you, or your loved ones lives.
