Masada Tactical - Severna Park, Maryland

I attended the Israeli Approach to Counter Terrorism and Active Assailant Response course this December. Bottom Line Up Front, this course was awesome. Having had prior small team tactics experience (U.S. Military), it was intriguing to be taught a different approach to similar training. I will admit the methodology of execution was slightly different to what I have been taught, but it was what made this course so unique. The instruction was top notch, with instructors BK and Silas expertly managing the different experience levels amongst our class. The course was well planned, provided sufficient validation of training, and was overall extremely professional. I would recommend this course to anyone that likes tactical training and has an open mind to how other tactical professionals approach combat application. Looking forward to more!

This is a great gym. I enjoy the classes because they incorporate real world scenarios into your training. I recommend Masada Tactical.

I have done two courses with Masada Tactical which are the combat carbine and the tactical pistol course. BK gave the best instruction on how to shoot compared to any other experience that I have had. I have an U.S. Army Infantry background and Masada Tactical was multiple levels above in how they executed the course compared to Army training that I have received. They work with your skill level and will push you to be better. You will not be disappointed with Masada Tactical.

I took the women's self-defense class and the basic, practical, easy to remember skills taught make me feel more proactive & in control of my personal safety. The instructors were phenomenal.

I have been training at Masada Tactical for several years. Because of what Masada offers, I was very willing to follow BK from Pikesville to his new Severna Park location, despite the much longer drive. Where else can you learn an authentic Israeli self defense system from friendly, knowledgeable, thoughtful instructors including an Israeli and former member of the IDF, and others with decades long experience in the military, law enforcement and traditional martial arts? Did I mention that BK is the highest ranking Black Belt in this self defense system in the US? At Masada you, as an average person, will learn the same real world, battle tested, self defense skills that BK teaches to law enforcement agencies nationwide.

You owe it to yourself, your family and those that rely upon you to see what Masada has to offer. From the very first class you will be challenged to get in shape. In that same first class you will learn potentially life saving self defense skills. As one of the gray haired older students who wishes I discovered Masada even earlier, I encourage you not to delay. Get started now. Plan today to observe, or, better yet, take a class to see if what I am telling you is correct. It is! You will be happy you took that first important step.

Paid to take the firearms class during Covid, took the class and never received anything. I never received my license and the State of Maryland never received anything from them that they were supposed to. Then I was told that my course didn't count and had to be retaken although the person I took my class with got their license in a timely fashion. I guess the course was fine but the procedure was disjointed in my case and resulted in spending money for nothing.

Great customer service! Jake and Scott made sure that a simple ordering mistake did not make for a bad transaction. I ordered the wrong shot gun, even though they could have let the purchase stand, Jake made sure I got the right shot gun. Very grateful for the quality of service and above beyond effort for customer satisfaction. Defiantly worth your business.
