Mr. Greg, Ms. Sharon, and Mr. Joe spent the week with Manassas City Police going through R.A.D. Instructor Training. Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) is a nationally recognized program of self-defense tactics and techniques for women, 12 years of age and up. In addition to the Basic Self-Defense Instructor Course, Greg and Joe completed the Dynamic Simulation and Aggressor training. We are excited to work with the City of Manassas Police Department and local agencies to better serve our community through defensive training and empower women to be better able to protect themselves.

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.
