September 11: Honoring Our Heroes

20th Anniversary

Saturday, September 11

More details to follow

KM 1 Test

Friday, October 1

Two new classes added:

Morning Krav Maga on Mondays at 10am

Focus Mitt Combos on Wednesdays at 5:15pm

All fight gear is back in stock but won’t last long so get what you need (headgear, mouth guard, gloves, groin protection, shin guards).

Once again KMD will be testing the latest version of the famed Revgear striking shield. It should arrive shortly and will immediately get some action. It is a point of great pride for us as we routinely destroy the equipment and share valuable feedback so the gear keeps getting improved. Looks like nobody punishes the gear as severely as YOU!!! 

Young Warriors! It’s the eval week. We are reviewing all techniques we worked on this month and on Saturday the stripes are on the line. Don’t forget to wear your belt to all classes!

• The Summer Challenge 2021 continues and our KMD TEAM is kicking butt. As of Monday 8/23/21 3pm Shev is in the lead with 6,700 flutter kicks but Tim is breathing down his neck with 6,611. Subash rounds up the top 3 with 4,763. The goal is 8,000 by the end of September so as you can see our folks don’t leave anything to chance and are crushing it like there’s no tomorrow. Thank you for being such awesome representatives of Krav Maga Detroit. We salute you all!!!

• STF (Survive The Fight), a class created and taught by Pjeter and Pawel, was a huge success. Some taking it for the first time, some yet again as veterans of few previous ones but all learned something new and had a blast doing it. (SEE PICTURES BELOW)

• Last Saturday night was all about combat. The kind with laser guns, but still combat! It was the 3rd time KMD crew took over the MI Combat in Rochester and like before, it was a blast. Thank you all who answered the call and to Jason for putting it all together. Some scores need to be settled so surely we will do it again. (SEE PAWEL IN ACTION IN THE NEWSLETTER BACKGROUND PHOTO!)

Veterans’ Day is November 11, 2021 and it’s time to register and start training for CHAD 1000X.

Sara Wilkinson and GORUCK present the hero workout "Chad", in honor of Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson who took his life on October 29, 2018 due to the effects of numerous deployments, several TBIs, blast wave injuries and PTSD. Our goal is to honor Chad's life and legacy and by raising awareness for suicide prevention.

Last year’s Chad 1000X event saw 4,500+ registered participants (with over $100K raised) looking to be a part of something greater than themselves. To not only bring awareness to the epidemic of suicide, especially among veterans, but also help be part of the solution through support to the Navy SEAL Foundation and other veteran mental health initiatives.

This year, join us again in paying respect to Chad Wilkinson and all those who have been lost to suicide, while also committing to try to change the number. #CHAD1000X
