  • An Open Letter about Bullying: Start a Conversation and Be a Role Model

    As we usher in another back-to-school season, our minds inevitably turn to the well-being of our children. We want them to thrive emotionally, physically, and mentally during their long school days. One of our greatest concerns as parents is that our children won't become victims of bullying. We teach our kids valuable lessons: how to stand up for themselves, walk with purpose, speak confidently to their principals and teachers, and invite those without companions to join them at lunch. All of these lessons are designed to empower our children, giving them the tools they need to navigate the complex world of school relationships. But here's something to consider: If all of our ....

  • Stay Alert and Know Your Exits: Maintaining Safety in Crowded Places

    Being aware of what is going on around you is the number one skill of self protection. This skill is called situational awareness . I like to describe it as establishing your baseline. What does the world around you look like on a daily basis? It’s not looking for trouble, it’s noticing your surroundings on a day to day basis and using that information to influence your decisions. Once you know what your world should look like, when something changes, you can identify it right away. We practice this in our daily lives all the time! If we run a business, we look at key performance indicators to see how daily operations are running. When a change is identified, for good or ....

  • Krav Maga- Things you must know

    Hi to all, In the following posts I’m about to discuss some aspects concerning Israeli combat disciplines in general and, Krav-M aga specifically. Hope you’ll enjoy it. 'Krav-Maga' is a term in Hebrew, composed of two words; 'Krav', which means 'Combat', and 'Maga', which means 'Contact'. So, the literal translation of the term 'Krav-Maga' is 'Contact-Combat'. This term is widely used to describe the Israeli authentic combat system, however, there is more than one style of Krav-Maga. Actually Krav-Maga may be practiced in three different forms: 1. As a martial art – in this form the belt (or rank) system is being used, sometimes training will require a traditional or ....

Sam Atlee

My son had his first karate class today and the staff was amazing! They treated him like he was a long time student. I highly recommend Kirk's Premier Martial Arts!

Bantam Draper

My experience at Kirk’s Krav has been amazing. Great instructors with diverse/unique backgrounds create an experience that you can’t find somewhere else. The training is approachable and incredibly engaging, even to a non-athlete like me. Everything you learn has some sort of real-world application and it is much more than just combatives: You are learning how to avoid confrontation and deescalate when possible; how to be aware of your surroundings whether you’re going to your car at night or walking through a crowded city with your family; and of course, how to defend yourself whether you are carrying groceries or holding hands with your kid. It is also amazing cardio without the monotony of the treadmill. Best investment in myself I’ve made all year!

Heather Helm

Had an amazing time at the women's self defense class! I was nervous & felt silly at first, but it didn't take long to get warmed up & find my inner strength. It felt great to dish it out & beat up the training pads & I was sweating like crazy, but it never felt like exercise. Everyone was encouraging & welcoming, it was awesome! My daughter loved the kids bullying class, called it "Wonder Woman training" we can't wait to go again!
