“What is Krav Maga? That was the question I asked myself over 13 years ago before taking my first class. I always had an interest in some form of martial arts but because of family, career and other activities I never found the time. Well, I finally found the time in my mid-fifties when I joined KMD which turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made.
I’ve always been motivated to do things others can’t or won’t do so Krav Maga seemed to fit me pretty well. I’ve run numerous marathons in the past, but they don’t compare with the physical and mental challenges that occur during training classes…. and of course, Pawel’s tests. I’ve probably had more than my share of training injuries some requiring reconstructive surgery for torn ligaments and tendons, but never once did I consider not returning to my Krav family of training partners and friends. And yes, after thousands of training hours this has become my other family and second home.
At my age I know my body will start to tell me it’s time to just take it easy and play more golf, go on more hunting trips, spend more time with my grandkids and watch more sunsets with my wonderful wife. But that day is not today…ITS JUST NOT TODAY!”
