Our June 26th Gun Seminar was awesome. everyone did so well and I hope that they all left here learning something new. we focused on basic gun defense with combatives and Gun retention which was taught by Dennis Kennedy. Hopefully nest time we hold a seminar, we can get into more advanced gun defense like hostage and third party protection. I also wanted to show more knife defense but only so much time in a day. the curtain drill at the end was fun. scary when someone rushes at you unexpected and you have to make a defense or draw your weapon. the lights out and music helped set this up. thanks everyone and we will do this again soon.

Video from the John Whitman gun seminar:

Krav Maga Slc held a womens only self defense seminar on Saturday May 15th 2010.  the seminar was a huge success.  we had over 35 women attend.  it was great to see women become empowered and learn that they can fight back.  the whole seminar was based on giving them a fighting chance.  some of the ladies were more agressive than many of our male students.  My wife (who has never trained, even being married to me for 21 years) did great.  at one point she was pushed against a wall and choked.  she was pushed hard and saw stars.  i was thinking oh shit, she will never let me live this one down.  i was wrong,  she turned in, made the defese and knee this poor guy in the balls.  awesome.  we also had the ladies work on eye strike by cutting oranges in half and finger striking them.  it was a mess and they were all so damn sticky.  bummer ( a bunch of sticky girls- torture) !!!  thanks to everyone for there support.  we will do this again soon.

a special thanks to Dan Medley for creating and hosting this blog.  i can’t tell you how much i appreciate this.  your the best.

Hi everyone.  this is a reminder that we will be starting our BJJ classes 10 minutes earlier than normal.  we feel we need the extra few minutes to be able to get thru the lesson plans.  also we have returned friday night combined krav maga class.  it begins at 6:10 p.m

anyone want to go see the local fights at club teasers.  went last week and it was a blast.  let me know and we will get a group together.

This is a topic that i wished never came up.  too many women are abused by men who well are not real men.  I have never understood the mindset behind abuse.  one of the many reasons i teach Krav Maga is to empower women.  No one should ever have to go through abuse.  by learning self defense you will at least have a fighting chance.  the stats are alarming - 1 out 6 women will experience violence against them during their life.  how many more are there that don’t get reported?  By the time the law gets invloved is often to late.  Take charge of your life.  TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.  Please come and join our womens self defense seminar this Sat.  you won’t regret it.

this was sent to me via facebook.  I couldn’t say it better.

While you SCREAM at your woman,there’s a man wishing he could talk softly to her ear… While you HUMILIATE, OFFEND and INSULT her, there’s a man flirting with her and reminding her how wonderful she is. While you HURT your woman, there’s a man wishing he could make love to her. While you make your woman CRY there’s a man stealing smiles from her… Post this on your wall if you’re against Domestic Violence

Friday night Krav Maga is back.  we will be holding a combined classes starting next Friday 5-21-10.  class will begin at 6:10.  MMA class follows at 7:10.  see you there

I am considering returning the Friday Night Comnined levels Krav Maga Class.  It would be a 6:10 and would replace the Kids MMA class currently at that time.  The kids class isn’t very busy on Fridays.  we had a Krav Maga class on Fridays at one time and it was pretty busy.  any suggestions on adding this or any other Friday night class.  we will still have our Friday night MMA class (adults) at 7 p.m.  let me know your thoughts.

Don’t forget to check out the pitcure from the Febuary Seminar taught ny John Whitman.  this was a insane seminar.  we will have him up again next year.  pics can be viewed at http://www.kravmagaslc.com under gallery.  enjoy and thanks to Miyo Strong for the awesome photos.  see is the best!!!!

We had a Black Belt Prep seminar today.  around 10 kids showed up all brown and red belts.  they all looked so good.  we worked on our kickboxing sets, ground fighting and forms.  I can’t believe how fast some of these kids have grown up.  a few of the kids have been with me for 6 years.  way to go guys and gals.  i am proud of you.  we will do another seminar in a month or two.

sensei Evans

Renown Kravist and self defense martial arts expert, Sejoscha Agiri (Yoshi) will be holding a seminar sponsored by Evans Martial Arts. This event will be held on September 25th and the focus will be guns, knives, and stick fighting. Yoshi will be coming in from Germany, so I encourage all to attend because you may not get a chance to work with him again.

I’ll update you with particulars as the seminar gets nearer.

We’re stoked to announce an upcoming seminar with James Hiromasa, of the Colorado Krav Maga Regional Training Center.

Stay tuned for details and exact time and date.

This month’s Krav Maga training theme is “When The Attacker Fights Back”.

Too often, in a fight, the attacker doesn’t just simply give up after your initial combatives. Instead, they stay in the fight. What will you do? This is what classes next week will focus on. Things WILL go wrong in a fight so you must expect it and train for it.

We will be holding a Women’s self defense seminar on Saturday May, 15th. Flyer here.

Some of the techniques that will be covered include, rape prevention, understanding conflict and anger, and use of environment.
