  • Krav Maga MINDSET

    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 ....

    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.

  • 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 ....

Self-defense Detroit

Floyd B.

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.
