    Memorial Day CFT: Why? Why bother? Why put yourself through this?

    Krav Maga Detroit crew paid tribute to all the fallen warriors this past Sunday by participating in the Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test (CFT) skillfully administered by our own Coach John Carra, a Marine Corps veteran. This annual event takes place o n the Memorial Day weekend and is combined with a fundraiser benefiting some of the finest charities supporting our warriors and their families. This year we collected $665 for The Independence Fund, a charity committed to serving the nation's catastrophically wounded veterans. But the impact of this event doesn’t stop here. Moved by the occasion and our efforts, one of KMD’s own stepped up and offered to match every dollar ....

  • Krav Maga and Motherhood: A Wonderful Combination!

    Krav Maga and Motherhood: A Wonderful Combination!





    I can remember like it was yesterday, the day when my husband and I would finally become parents. Our little girl was born on February 18, 2009. As the months passed and our daughter started to grow, I started to prepare myself to get back into the real world. I finally got the clearance from the doctor to start getting back in shape-something I always did even prior to getting pregnant. So, when I got the all clear, I told myself that I really wanted to find something different. I was born in a martial arts household. My dad was a black belt in Karate and he started my interests in all things self-defense early in life. Becoming a mom became an even greater motivator for me ....

  • “If you think you can, you will. If you think you can’t, you’re right.”

    “If you think you can, you will. If you think you can’t, you’re right.”

    “If you think you can, you will. If you think you can’t, you’re right.” For 28 weeks myself and 100 other recruits shouted that mantra every morning at 0530 as we started our day with PT. Every one of those mornings I prayed for God to strengthen me and push me forward. Some of those mornings that prayer was much more desperate than others. As difficult as the Academy was, it was still a bigger challenge for my wife, Jessica Ann . Jess CRUSHED things on the home front: staying on top of our finances, raising our daughter, and growing a new little baby who’s due in July. Without the strength and determination of my wife I would not have succeeded. ....

  • I AM NOT A VICTIM. NOT ME. NOT TODAY. NOT EVER.

    I AM NOT A VICTIM. NOT ME. NOT TODAY. NOT EVER.

    Let’s face it. Historically and statistically speaking, women have always been targets and victims of violent crimes. Whether domestic or public – crimes against women happen every day. Scientifically speaking, women do not have the pre-destined strength and size genetics gives to males, and therefore are unfortunately considered easier targets. Well, I’m not here to challenge science – but I am here to change statistics. While women may continue to be the TARGETS of violent crimes, they do NOT have to be VICTIMS. The threat is real. Michigan is ranked number 2 in the nation for human trafficking. SELF-PROTECTION is necessary in the world we live in today. I ....

  • No Mind in the Gym

    No Mind in the Gym

    No Mind in the Gym By John Carra So, I watched the LAST SAMURAI recently, a Tom Cruise Movie from 2003, and there was a scene where Tom Cruise’s character, Nathan Algren, is sparring with Ujio a Samurai Sword-master and is having difficulties. Then Nobutada, the son of Katsumoto the Leader of the Samurai, approaches Nathan and the following conversation ensues. Nobutada:
    Please forgive, too many mind. Nathan Algren:
    Too many mind? Nobutada:
    Hai. Mind the sword, mind the people watch, mind the enemy, too many mind… [pause] No mind. What Nobutada is referring to is the mushin no shin,
    a Zen expression meaning the mind without mind or “no-mindness”. It ....

    Krav Maga Detroit Crew Participates in the First Ever Goruck Constellation

    On April 21, 2017 a few of Krav Maga Detroit students and instructors took part in the very first official GORUCK CONSTELLATION , an overnight urban survival event run by the expert GORUCK Special Forces Cadre. As with other GORUCK events, Constellation 001 was expertly run by some of America’s best. Well over 100 weirdos showed up to kick it off and we all learned a ton and had a blast “operating” in Detroit throughout the night. The knowledge and experience gained in this event is priceless and I’m sure we all hope we will never have to use it, but as the saying goes, it’s “better to have, and not need, than to need, and not have.” Since we ....

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.

This place is awesome. The staff is energetic and knowledgeable, they help you learn and move towards your goals at a safe pace (if not necessarily your own), and, most importantly, they make it fun! I signed up for the 6-week challenge and thought that it was a good way to really check this place out. I wasn't disappointed and am happy to say that I'm continuing my membership. Let's call it what it is. I'm a lifer.
