Break out the NERF guns!
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!
Another group of awesome women took it to the mats for a couple hours of great physical and mental training during our Women’s self-defense seminar! Our next one is scheduled for May 9th, and as always, open to the public.
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.
Our February PNO included indoor football !
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.
Our school continues to build our community of trained instructors to establish a deeper understanding of training, and how to bring each student the best there is to offer in self-defense education.
Our January PNO featured an indoor snowball fight!
