Train Krav Maga & MMA in Greensboro — No Belts, No Egos, Just Real Results
Self-defense, fitness, and confidence for adults, teens, and families in Greensboro, NC.
No experience needed. No pressure. Just show up and see what Octagon is all about.
Why Octagon
Most gyms give you a treadmill and a mirror. We give you a purpose.
At Octagon MMA and Krav Maga, you won't just burn calories — you'll build real self-defense skills, functional strength, and the kind of confidence that carries into everyday life.
Whether you're brand new to training or looking for a serious skill upgrade, our coaches meet you exactly where you are and push you toward where you want to be.
Our Training Programs Include:
Adult Krav Maga
A no-nonsense tactical self-defense system built for real-world threats. Learn situational awareness, fast reactions under pressure, and hands-on defensive tactics — with optional sparring for those who want to test their skills live, and armed self-defense classes covering how to respond to weapon-based threats.
Striking (Muay Thai Kickboxing & Boxing)
Sharpen your hands, feet, and footwork. Muay Thai Kickboxing brings the power of knees, elbows, and kicks, while Boxing hones speed, precision, and defense. Both deliver a serious conditioning workout alongside real striking skill.
Grappling (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Russian Sambo)
Master the ground game. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches control and submissions through leverage and technique, while Russian Sambo blends judo and wrestling for explosive takedowns and joint control — both essential for real-world self-defense and competition.
Women's Cardio Kickboxing Bag Class
A high-energy, all-levels workout built specifically for women, combining heavy bag work, bodyweight movements, and strength training into one total-body routine. No prior experience needed — just show up ready to sweat.
Kids Martial Arts
Designed for ages 6-12, our kids' program introduces Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, and Krav Maga in a safe, structured environment that builds confidence, discipline, respect, and real self-defense skills that last a lifetime.

What Our Members Are Saying
I trained at Octagon Gym when it first opened back in 2009 and after a few years, work and life got so busy i stopped…. over a decade later I started going back just over a month ago now with my family, and not only has the gym grown in both programs and equipment, but the coaches and owners have welcomed us back with open arms and it’s like no time had passed at all! I really can’t communicate how rare that is, and how amazing this gym is.
From a training aspect I knew from experience that I would enjoy it but have been blown away at how much my wife and daughter love it too!
There truly isn’t a better martial arts or combat sports school, gym, and training center around! Thank you Octagon Gym!

I’ve been going to Octagon MMA for years and I still look forward to going every week.
It’s like Cheers, everybody knows your name and it just feels like home.
Kim and David are very knowledgable and so fun to work with. I cannot recommend them enough. It’s excellent for stress relief too.
If you want to get into shape quick, this is your spot! I get compliments on my arms all the time and I have Octagon MMA to thank for that! I’m so glad I found them!

Great coaches! My two boys (ages 9 and 10) started kickboxing and jiu jitsu here with absolutely no experience. From day one, the coaches made them feel welcome, confident, and excited to learn. The level of patience and motivation the instructors bring to every class is incredible.
In just a few months, I’ve seen huge improvements! The environment is positive, structured, and fun, which keeps them looking forward to every session.
I’m beyond thankful to all the coaches for their dedication and for helping my boys. Highly recommend this place to any parent looking to get their kids involved in martial arts the right way.
