Think you're ready to TEST?

Quick word about testing - DON’T You read this right. You would have to be more than slightly insane to willingly put yourself through it so ask yourself WHY? Better have a strong answer too because if it’s a weak ass one like “well I’ve been here 3 months and I feel I’m ready” you will get creamed. The test at Krav Maga Detroit has a purpose. We don’t see Krav Maga as a martial art where from day one you are on a schedule to get your black belt. Guys who one day might want to take your life don’t care about your belts or patches or diplomas and neither do we. The test is here to simulate one of the worst days of your life. It’s ....

Krav Maga – A Lesson in Spiritual Warfare

Krav Maga – A Lesson in Spiritual Warfare Embarking on any course of self-improvement or self-development takes a lot of hard work, honesty, self-reflection and a great deal of introspection. Krav Maga is no different. Sure, you can learn all of the strikes and self-defense moves available and be relatively well equipped to handle yourself in a physical altercation. Or maybe not. There are no guarantees with learning Krav Maga. That’s why it’s important to train every part of you - not just the physical. You need to also train your spirit. And awaken that warrior within you. Warriors are not born. They’re made. As Sun Tzu put it, ....

Krav Maga MINDSET

In Krav Maga we stress mindset. The correct mindset is defined as "a fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines a person's responses to, and interpretations of situations" So what does this mean and how does it relate to Krav Maga? Well, that goes back to a when and why we would use Krav. Specifically, situations where tensions are high and potentially escalate to physical confrontation. Someone wants to hurt you. Their reasons are irrelevant. If a situation escalates to you needing to defend yourself you need to be able to switch your attitude or disposition appropriately. When we instill and reinforce mindset in class its because this helps you 'respond and ....

Fighting Fit

Fighting Fit
Why do we stress fitness at a self-defense studio? Aren't you just here to learn the techniques? Well, the answer is very simple. The better shape you are in, the better fighter you will be and the better chance you have to get home safe. Everything we do is for a reason. Sure, some instructors get creative and add their flare to the tried and true format of a Krav Maga class, but it all has a purpose. For example, when we do push-ups we like to keep our elbows close to the body. This is a tricep push up vs. the more common chest push up. The motion is the same as how we throw punches. Elbow down, straight out. A strong pushup means a meaner punch, so we do ....

Eating Healthy is EASY!!! Stop the madness of bouncing all over the place

It's 2020 and you are looking in the mirror wondering why your pants fit just a little tighter! So you deicide to "diet" by storming the kitchen and throwing all the "bad foods" away. Next, you hit the gym and do 50 min on the treadmill and call it a day. This lasts for about a week before you crash and burn. Why? Because eating healthy is NOT meant to be a quick fix! Training is NOT just running or moving on a cardio machine. It requires all the puzzle pieces in place and a working BALANCE to occur. Here are a few tips to get you on the right track: 1) DRINK WATER - Yes EASY! Start with drinking 1/2 your body weight in water. So, if you weigh 100lb, drink 50oz of water:) 2) EAT PROTEIN ....

What a great evening/event on 9-11 at Krav Maga in Troy, MI. Myself and 2 fellow firefighters have participated in the event on behalf of Troy Fire and hose down all the participants as they do their workouts. Owner Pawel is so motivating and knows how to push his class to get everyone to achieve their goals. We look forward to participating in this event every year and when you see all the smiles at the end of the evening, you can tell it was a tough challenging class but they are so happy of their accomplishments. We look forward to seeing you in 2021 on the 20th anniversary and look forward to a larger group of first responders supporting your event. Keep up the great work Pawel!!!

I just completed the 6-week challenge at Krav Maga Detroit and successfully lost a little over 25 lbs. I was looking for a different type of workout than just hitting the gym to lift weights. It has been a great experience! The place is clean. There are a variety of classes to choose from. The Instructors and Owners are friendly, encouraging and knowledgeable. The people that I have met from my classes have been fun to work out with. I have learned a lot in the short time that I have been here and I will continue to come even though my challenge is complete.

I recommend everything about this place. The staff and owners are all beautiful people on the inside and out. The curriculum is always spot on. All of the members are friendly. Everyone respects each other. Instructors will work with you if there is something you cannot do. You will refuse to do overtime just to make it to class!! I am so thankful that we found Krav Maga Detroit.
