First Defense Krav Maga was excited to welcome Amnon Darsa (Expert level 5) to our studio in January for an entire week of training. We held a 3 day Mini Protecting Others/VIP Course. Then the remainder of the week was Graduate and Expert level training. Our regular members got to participate in 2 evening special classes taught by Amnon. We hope to get an opportunity to bring him back in the future for more specialized training!

For those who are interested in trying out some grappling, sweeps, and throws, come try out our Shuaijiao class. This class is offered on Saturdays at 12 pm.

Our Shuaijiao program is included for all FDKM members who are on a full membership. But you don't need to purchase a full Krav Maga membership to participate in just Shuaijiao. You can purchase a 5-class pass for $80. Replenish your passes as you go.

We would like to thank everyone for following our Covid Guidelines about masking and vaccinations. There's no change to those rules right now - we still require wearing a mask indoors at all times for those who are not vaccinated. For those who are vaccinated - it is optional, but if you would like to go without a mask, we do need to see your vaccination card. This policy may change if the local county and/or state government requires businesses like ourselves to require masks for all individuals indoors. We will continue to update our guidelines as needed. If you have any specific concerns or questions please do not hesitate to ask us at info@firstdefensekravmaga.com

Children between the Ages of 5 and older begin to get vaccinated, we will begin to accept vaccination cards for them as well. Although, we highly encourage children to continue wearing masks during the youth classes, if you and your child choose to go mask free please bring in their vaccination card.

In the meantime our guidelines for masking are as follows below:

Here at First Defense, the community's health and safety is a priority. We are trying to minimize the transmission and spread of Covid as best to our abilities within our facility and training practices. As business owners it's our Duty of Care. We hope everyone will continue their efforts to help limit the spread of Covid-19.
