Linda • February 10, 2025

We are striving to add value to our children’s programs by developing a deeper understanding of child development – helping children develop skills physical, mental, emotional, and social areas. Skillz Worldwide programs help children build confidence, manage emotions, and develop resilience. As new members of Skillz Worldwide we have access to new drills and additional training in child development related to teaching martial arts. Our goal is to equip instructors with the skills and knowledge to make a lasting impact on the mats. We are hosting a day-long seminar for instructors and select volunteers with the founder, Melody Johnson, on Saturday, April 5.

We completed another round of testing for 122 students representing our Adult, Junior Krav Maga, and Little Warriors programs. Congratulations to all students showing grit and perseverance, while working to achieve their next rank…and thanks to an awesome group of instructors and volunteers helping with all levels of testing. Our community is one of the many things that American Drengr elevates to a new level!

Friends from Kirk’s Martial Arts/Krav Maga Universal, and Masada Tactical joined at American Drengr Krav Maga for a two-day special seminar with Professor Ken “Shadow” Goodman. This was a unique opportunity to experience what many of our advanced students and instructors have experienced at Krav Camp and off-site seminars….expert knife instruction from a nationally-known expert, Ken “Shadow” Goodman. Students were introduced to a system that’s trusted by those who thrive in combative environments. Seis Metodos has been battle-tested alongside multiple combative disciplines, ensuring you’re learning from the best.

American Drengr Krav Maga hosts monthly seminars relevant to our geographic area, current events, and local concerns of citizens and law enforcement. The February 13th seminar focused on a variety of threats in various public transport settings. The U.S. Department of Transportation has identified several contributing factors to increased assaults on public transit (subway, trains, buses, and city cabs), these include: • societal issues such as homelessness, substance misuse, and mental health crises; • fare evasion; • escalation of minor conflicts and unprovoked assaults; • ridership and crowds; • differences in operator location between rail, bus & cab; and • local laws and policies (e.g., decriminalization or lack of prosecution). Types of assault types on these systems include harassment and threats; pushing, spitting, slapping, kicking, or punching; sexual harassment and unwanted touching; assaults with weapons; and, in some cases, homicides. In this real-world defense awareness seminar, trained experts from American Drengr Krav Maga trained participants to develop situational awareness, respond to violent threats, and how to survive these potentially dangerous situations.
