  • WOW! What an Epic Weekend at KMD

    WOW! What an Epic Weekend at KMD

    What a weekend!!! Nineteen students took on the challenge and all earned their promotions this weekend in Troy. First, last Friday night, nine KM1 students crushed their Pi Day Krav Maga test where they not only crushed the physical part but also managed to keep their wits about them. Some of the evolutions lasted 3 minutes and 14 seconds and others paid homage to the brilliance of mathematics. They were having so much fun that the time just flew by and even though it would’ve been cool to wrap it up in 3 hours and 14 minutes I just didn’t have the heart to stop the fun that early. The following day, ten KMD Young Warriors stepped up to the challenge and absolutely crushed ....

  • A Word about Testing in Krav Maga ...

    A Word about Testing in Krav Maga ...

    A Quick Word About Testing - DON'T You read this right. You would have to be more than slightly insane to willingly put yourself through it so ask yourself WHY? Better have a strong answer too because if it’s a weak ass one like “well I’ve been at Krav Maga Detroit for 3 months and I feel I’m ready” you will get creamed. The test at Krav Maga Detroit has a purpose. We don’t see Krav Maga as a martial art where from day one you are on a schedule to get your black belt. Guys who one day might want to take your life don’t care about your belts or patches or diplomas and neither do we. The test is here to simulate one of the worst days of your ....

  • KRAV MAGA BLACK BELT, 3rd DEGREE: Pawel Cichowlas

    KRAV MAGA BLACK BELT, 3rd DEGREE: Pawel Cichowlas

    KRAV MAGA BLACK BELT, 3rd DEGREE: Pawel Cichowlas My Journey: I was an eight year old boy when Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee was released in Poland. No, I did not watch it as it was for 18 and older audiences only but the older brothers of my friends did and we talked about it constantly. Soon a huge poster of Bruce Lee was hanging in my room (first and only poster ever) motivating me to train in secret to become like him. Any official training was out of the question as my days were already filled with two full time schools. Regular school during the day and the music school in the afternoon and evening. Every day, six days a week. Besides, any potential injury to my hands ....

    Michigan's Forest Gump in Rucking

    In the iconic movie Forrest Gump, the main character started running one day “for no particular reason” and ended up crisscrossing the United States multiple times. He covered over 15,000 miles in three years. Inspired by this amazing feat, Robert Pope became the first person to retrace Forrest’s famous run in real life. He covered over 15,700 miles over 422 days and crossed our country over four times. On January 1, 2021, for no particular reason whatsoever, a KMD student Tim Thomas decided to take on a challenge presented by Goruck called the Tribe. The idea was fairly simple: read one book a month, do a special workout once and month and ruck certain distance or ....

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.
