Boise Cities Krav Maga

Fantastic experience: Best place In the valley to learn and train valuable techniques, also a great workout!

Fantastic experience: Our kids love the classes. The instructors are helpful, and supportive. Just an amazing group of people. Very family oriented. If you’re looking for a phenomenal instructor, this is the place. We feel better knowing that our kids are learning the skills and discipline to grow in self confidence and defend themselves.

Fantastic experience: ETA: I am changing my review of this business from 4 stars to 5 stars due to the professionalism in their reply, and also deleting my photo because of reasons stated below. I appreciate their straight forward reply, and their standards they enforce. It’s hard to find businesses that will do this today, which is one of the reasons I was bold in leaving my original review. I want women to understand their value, and I am glad to support this business because they are in alignment with standards and morality. Thank you for standing for conservativeness within your business. I am leaving my original review below so you know what I am referencing! Also- this was my first visit here, so this review below did not account for multiple visits. I was quick to review because of the nature of the subject, and because my children were with me. Love it- but some of the women dress so incredibly inappropriate. I shouldn’t see your butts! I wish the management would put some kind of rule in place to avoid this issue. Keep in mind, you are moving constantly and your clothes aren’t going to stay put. Bending, kicking, stretching etc should be accounted for when you buy your clothes.

Fantastic experience: Great place. The enthusiasm shown by the instructors and students is contagious. If you are serious about learning and improving yourself this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending BCKM for close to two months now. All I can say is that I've found my people! Beau and BCKM have welcomed me with arms wide open and it is truly a great community and family that supports you and wants you to succeed. Not only does Beau push you to get in shape and teach you the simple, yet effective techniques, he goes above and beyond to teach awareness and other life saving skills. You won't find another instructor that has as much experience and cares about your journey as much as Mr. D does. Come on in and try out your first two classes for free if you haven't already. You'll be happy you did and it could very well save your life one day. Train like you mean it!

Fantastic experience: BCKM is a welcoming, though thoroughly professional Martial Arts school capable of improving anyone from beginner to Black Belt. When CoVid hit, BCKM provided online self-study to keep students progressing during the shut-down. Mr. D is, hands down, the best martial arts instructor I have ever had and goes out of his way for his students 100% of the time. I gave BCKM 5 stars only because I could not give it 10!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I have been training here for 4 years and my daughter for 2, and my husband and I have taken several firearms courses as well. We love everything about BCKM! It is a business built on faith, respect and quality. When you come in be ready to work hard, sweat, laugh, make friends and be part of an amazing community!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Beau and the rest of the instructors are awesome. We looked into various martial arts class for our son. Everyone helped my son develop both MA skills and a good moral character. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for self defense for the entire family, THIS IS THE PLACE! The mentorship at all levels is unsurpassed and the workout is better than you can get at any gym. Beau (the owner) is amazing to talk to and you will see his passion to help others within the first 5 minutes of meeting him.

Fantastic experience: My 8 yo daughter has gained so muchself-control, respect & physical strength by being a part of Mr D's Krav Maga family! Can't thank him enough for all the decication he has for her and all of his students!

Fantastic experience: Great instructors! Lots of options for class times and days.

Fantastic experience: The staff and instructors at BCKM are knowledgeable and dedicated. They tailor the level of instruction to your physical and mental skills and fitness levels. The “regulars” there are welcoming and encouraging, and the whole experience is one of realistic positivity: they don’t sugarcoat what can happen if you’re not prepared and someone attacks you, but they give you the tools to survive the unthinkable.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The very best in self defense and fitness training in a family atmosphere. Everyone is welcome, you just have to come with a willingness to learn and have fun at the same time! Master Beau Durocher brings his lifetime of knowledge and experience to every class! You won’t find a better school in Idaho!

Fantastic experience: The family atmosphere, genuinely wonderful people and amazing staff are what any business should model themselves after. The quality of instruction is spot on, applicable and great for life. My health, stamina and fitness has increased, as have my quality of life because of Mr. D and his staff. If I could give more stars I would.

Fantastic experience: Our daughter (7) has been going to BCKM for 2 years now. It has been one of the greatest things we have ever decided to do for her. She absolutely loves going and has learned so much that she will carry with her for the rest of her life. I feel at ease knowing she will be able to protect herself and others with the knowledge and training she has gained and will continue to gain. Some of the greatest people run this place and make us feel so welcomed and love. Really everyone is fantastic. I cannot give this place enough praise for all they bring to the community!

Fantastic experience: Our son has been taking classes here for a year and a half and has absolutely blossomed (I know... That's a terrible term for a teenage boy, but y'all know what I mean)! He's grown in strength, maturity, and confidence. And we love the atmosphere there - it's family centric and fun!

Fantastic experience: Beau, Travis and the rest of the team have been amazing. Beau teaches in ways everyone can understand- Travis’ enthusiasm makes my son excited to be there. My 6 year old went from getting in trouble at school regularly to getting student of the week. I believe part of that is because of the things he is learning at Krav. The people (other students) are amazing. The instructors are fabulous. The skills you learn are invaluable. I love this place

Fantastic experience: Excellent training and education for all skill levels.

Fantastic experience: Incredible experience for both adults, and kids. These skills are incredibly important to learn, for anybody. This is why it's so important to have instructors who are professional, who are focused on safety and proper technique, who answer questions without making you feel inadequate, and at the same time make it fun to learn. This is exactly what Mr. D, and his team of instructors offer. This also shows on all the students, especially those in higher rank, who are always willing to help. Highly recommend BCKM. Thank you Mr. D, for all you do.

Fantastic experience: My son is six and is very shy. This program has helped him with his confidence! Mr. D and Mr. Travis have a god given talent as teachers. They are Born leaders. Its Such a positive atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: My 15-year-old daughter and I traveled from Coeur d 'Alene to take the handgun Alpha class and it was worth every mile of the drive! Mr. Durocher and his instructors could not have possibly been better. They created a relaxed but serious atmosphere that is ideal for learning and the pace and structure of the class was perfect for people of all levels. We will definitely be back for more. Great instructors, great curriculum, amazing overall experience. 6 out of 5 stars!!!

Fantastic experience: I love training here.... The environment and passion everyone has is amazing. We have fun we laugh and we get to learn valuable lessons that help you in everyday circumstances. If your young or old strong or weak all are welcome and no one will judge you. I love being there and look forward to each class!

Fantastic experience: The classes are top notch. Beau creates an exceptional atmosphere for learning and applying new skills. The culture is friendly, helpful, and supportive. Strongly recommended for anybody looking for self-defense training. I joined two weeks ago and I'm loving it.

Fantastic experience: I am so impressed with this business. The instructors went out of their way to great me and my child. The owners are top notch people and made my son feel welcomed. The training is exactly what my son needs I would highly recommend all children and adults take self defense courses from here. Protecting yourself and learning to respect others is a priority. Having your teen feel like they belong is important and my kiddo absolutely feels like he found his people. It isn't easy for him to make friends so this is a powerful statement. Thank you Beau & Rebecca for caring about our kids and providing such a focused and structured facility for them to learn confidence and self defense.

Fantastic experience: I can't begin to tell you how much I love this place! I have my daughter going 3x a week and she is in love. I love that anyone can go and be badass. So many age groups and skill levels. All the instructors are so amazing and work well with all the kids. Bonus for spectators who get to watch ! Thank you for being amazing and having a place where people can come and feel so welcome !

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality My two kids have been going there for several months now, their instructors are fantastic! worth the time and money to see my kids be challenged and grow in self confidence.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! Our family of 6 has been members since Jan 2018 and we love it. Great sport, great exercise, and great relevance for life in every way - physically (defense), mentally (focus & determination), and socially (LOVE the people!) - it is seriously our "krav" family. Beau Durocher & and his wife are absolutely amazing - raised the most responsible, involved kids who set a high standards for our children. The environment is extremely personable - even with the giant growth of his business, Beau knows every individual by name. He is there personally coaching and training us. He pushes each to THEIR level and still makes it fun! Highly recommend this for anyone, no matter your shape, size, or experience.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been training with Mr. D for almost a year now and we are extremely happy we took the plunge and decided to try it. The experience and knowledge of Mr. D is really amazing. The instructors are great, and everyone is very helpful. Not only do we plan to continue our training but eventually we'll enroll our little warriors as well.

Fantastic experience: My three girls love BC Krav Maga. They gained self-confidence, strength, speed, agility, focus, etc. The instructors are terrific and the girls had so much fun

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality My whole family has had the privilege of training in both Krav Maga and tactical guns skills under the direction Mr. D. His expertise is exceptional and his ability to teach all levels of skill and ability is second to none. I highly recommend not passing up an opportunity to visit BCKM and train under Beau and his team!

Fantastic experience: I LOVE this gym! My job can be really stressful. No matter how tired, cranky, or frazzled I am before class I always leave energized and in a great mood. This is an incredible workout with some really great people. Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with exceptional martial artists. Mr. D is one of the best practitioners I have ever met. If that weren't enough the Durocher family are wonderful people that embody what a family owned business should be. This checks all the boxes for me: Great workout, therapeutic, I get to support a true locally owned family business, oh and yeah... Krav Maga is one of the coolest forms of self defense on the planet. Ditch your excuses and stop in. It is absolutely worth it!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: This is the BEST self defense studio. Amazing, super knowledgeable and gifted teachers. The people who train here are really nice too and everyone is rooting for you. I took a women's self defense class there today and it was AMAZING. I have a teenager who trains here - Excellent! I feel so better knowing my teen is learning how to defend herself and getting a great work out

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Fantastic place to get a great workout and learn lifesaving skills!

Fantastic experience: Amazing group of people

Fantastic experience: This is an awesome Krav Maga school. Beau is a skillful practitioner and lead instructor. The other instructors are great too!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful, family-oriented gym! Beau is the best trainer you could hope for!

Fantastic experience: Krav Maga is the best self defense method that I know of. It's not UFC training; UFC has rules you must abide by. KM's rule is to live to fight another day - first strike is an acceptable defense. One of the things I like best about this KM school is the addition of dedicated fitness classes to further help its students self defense & general health. The kids classes remove much of the brutality from the instruction and focuses on technique still in a very useful way.

Fantastic experience: Unmatched pedegree of instruction! Mr D. Has been doing this over 20 years and learned directly from Danny Hazan In Israel. Extremely humble place of instruction for my wonderful wife and children. I am very grateful for the skill set and physical fitness this place offers.

Fantastic experience: BC Krav Maga is an amazing studio in all regards. True Krav with instructors who learned from Israeli instructors - no extension programs or watered down Krav here. Beau brings a wealth of marital arts experience and over 20 years of professional instruction to each student and class. If your just a beginner - he’ll make you confident and comfortable, if you’re intermediate he’ll guide to to become stronger, efficient and skilled, if you’re good - hell’ll make you great! If you’re great - he’ll help you find ways to make you excellent. I couldn’t image training Krav anywhere else with the exception of maybe Israel. If you’re looking for a skilled professional and phenomenal instructor - you’ve found it!
