Been going for 8 months! My best take-away is they challenge you while wanting you to succeed. All ages and body types are welcome. Anyone can flexibly practice the moves---they focus on principles and practice---you do not need to be fit like Bruce Lee!
Classes are in groups. But the trainers rotate almost each time so I always learn something new and get an unexpected workout. The CDK team is always responsive by phone alongside emails blasts, so we always have proactive support. Gym is included as a big bonus.
I enjoy attending classes here several times weekly to add some fun cardio to my routine. The Krav Maga training is a great workout, and the instructors are excellent. I feel better prepared to defend myself in a crisis, both in terms of practical skills and physical fitness.
I joined CDK about 5 months ago and it has been fantastic! I was looking for self-defense classes that were based on practicality and to make one feel more confident in stressful situations. After checking out CDK, I knew it would be perfect. The instructors are awesome, the gym is nice, and the other students are great - the little community within CDK is amazing, overall. The instructors and classmates are super helpful and incredibly supportive. I learn something new each class and I would definitely say that (as a woman) I feel more confident when going out. I would highly recommend for everyone!
I highly recommend CDK to anyone who are seriously trying to learn how to protect themselves. DJ and his crew do an outstanding job training their students to learn how to properly protect themselves through effective drills that are designed to be stress-inducing so students can learn to apply principles in overwhelming situations. This school also offers sparring and ground fighting classes every week where you really learn how to handle yourself in a fight.
Not only will you learn how to properly defend yourself and how to build confidence at this school, but you will also develop great relationships with other students and instructors here as well. The atmosphere of support and collectivism here is second-to-none and there is no other community like this that I have been a part of.
If you're looking for a school that will challenge you and will seriously teach you how to defend yourself, look no further than CDK.

Very welcoming, skilled instructors, plus a great sense of community as everyone works together to improve.. highly recommend!! Also incorporates some strength and conditioning techniques at the start/close of class but largely focuses on technical curriculum. Love Cdk!
I love taking classes at Krav Maga CDK. All the instructors are so knowledgeable and helpful, and the classes are fantastic. It's a great workout and I am learning so much about self-defense. DJ is really dedicated to giving his students a great experience. I walk more confidently now than I ever did before.

CDK has world class instructors and an amazing community that will make you feel right at home. Also only two blocks from the Friendship Heights Metro and your membership also gets you access to a fully equipped gym facility.
If you are just looking for a place to get in shape and learn some practical self-defense techniques or want to become a certified Krav Maga instructor (and anything in between) you owe it to yourself to visit Krav Maga CDK. Your fitness level, age or prior experience doesn't matter. Come with an open mind and I guarantee you will get back 100% of exactly what you put into your training.
As DJ says, (Head Instructor...also check him out on his YouTube Channel) says, those who say they can and those who say they can't are usually right.

My wife bugged me for 6 months to try Krav Maga CDK and I'm so glad I finally gave in! It's an exhilarating workout combined with practical skills you can use to protect yourself. The teachers are terrific - the classes are interesting, vigorous and fun. The other students are friendly and supportive - there's a real sense of community at CDK.

I joined CDK about 6 months ago and it has been one of the best decisions i've made all year. DJ and crew are amazing instructors and even better people. The techniques you learn at CDK are literally lifesavers and the workouts are intense, but awesome. I can't recommend CDK highly enough.
Having done various types of martial arts and self defense, Krav Maga CDK is definitely one of the best places to train. DJ, the lead instructor is fantastic, knowledgeable, and very motivating.
It's worth checking out.
Krav Maga CDK is a great place to learn Krav, whether if its for exercise, self-defense, or just to learn a new hobby. In my case it was all three, and I really love being at CDK. DJ Stephens is one of the best teachers I've had at anything and he has a huge breadth of knowledge about all things martial arts. The classes also include membership to the attached gym, as well as access to several excellent Les Mills classes, like CX Worx for your core.
I would argue that if anyone is considering any sort of martial arts, Krav should be it. And if they are going to do Krav in the DC area, they must do it at CDK.
With CDK....
1. You will get in shape.
2. You will feel more confident
3. You will be able to defend yourself under stress
4. You will have fun
5. There is no pressure to join.
Sounds like an infomercial, but I promise it's not. After 1.5 years in the school, I would say that it is one of the best investments I have ever made in myself. Come try it out.
DJ is one of the best instructors I've ever had. He is great at explaining things and breaking techniques down. Everyone there is very friendly and fun to work with. It is a bonus that you get a great workout in while learning a practical skill!
