CONGRATULATIONS! NEW LEVEL 2 MEMBERS! 

The halls of KMD shook last Friday night with determination, grit, and bells as each tester successfully completed their Level 1! Congratulations to each one of you! You trained hard, prepared, and proved to everyone present (hopefully including yourselves) what it means to fight and develop a Krav Maga mindset. Your instructors were all very impressed and proud! You earned that patch!


Thanks to everyone who showed up to support and be entertained. The testers thrive off your energy and encouragement. Events like these continue to prove to all of us that we are a family, and we show up for each other. Thank you.

KMD Family "Why" Board: 

We would like to start a new tradition at KMD - a KMD Family "WHY" board. Each one of us found KMD and Krav Maga for some reason. It is important to always remember that reason when we train. Your "why" is what will help you do one more push up, send one more punch... and what will keep you fighting for your life.


In order to help remind ourselves and each other "WHY" we train, we are turning the corkboard by the front desk into a WHY board. Pictures, phrases, mementos etc can be put on this board. There it can be seen each time you walk onto the training floor, and by each new member who is trying to figure out why to train. 


Please keep these items to no larger than one 4x6 photo, phrase, collage, or item. There will be pin tacks at the front desk to hang your items. Or you can email your "WHY" to Mallory at: malbrake02@gmail.com - so she can print them off and hang them for you!


I hope everyone participates and we fill this entire board up until we need to add another!


Keep Training.

The welcoming, humble, "your home", no matter your background, experience level or absolute lack thereof, atmosphere is what got me. I've always been pretty intimidated by gyms & preferred to just do my own thing privately. I took Mallorys women's self defense series & my mind was blown. Then I took Pawels crisis mitigation class. PHENOMENAL!! They have NEVER been pushy about signing up. Always welcoming & encouraging. Their humility is another thing that just blew my mind. They would have every "right" to be proud of themselves & even flaunt it considering all of their accomplishments & capabilities but they DON'T. They want to be a help you & better you. They always available help & answer questions. It's home. My only regret is not joining sooner.

I can't say enough great things about Krav Maga Detroit. I retired from the Fire Service after 27 years and it wasn't long after that I felt like something was missing. I needed something to replace the hard work, physical and mental fitness and some of the bonding and brotherhood. I found it all at Krav Maga Detroit. The classes are a great physical workout while teaching and training new skills that could same day save your life, or someone else's. The people of Krav Maga Detroit are like non other as well, everyone involved from the Owners to the instructors, to the fellow students, are all genuinely great people. More than hard work comes out of KMD, strong bonds and friendships do to. If you're looking for something that will help you get in shape, build your confidence, and have a little fun too, check out Krav Maga Detroit. Wish I would've found them sooner.
