Congrats to our newest Practitioners!

Congratulations to our newest Practitioner Ranks!

For P1 - Alex, Jeny, Elyse, Shannon, & Amalie. The first test is always a never-wrecker, but this folks did amazing!

For P2 - Leo, James, David, & Adam. Working hard on their fundamentals in preparation for P3 & Intermediate classes.

Congratulations Paul and Chris!

After 5 days of training and 2 days of testing, Senior Instructors Chris M and Paul A have earned their KMG Expert 2 ranks! With this rank, they join a small group - just a handful in the United States - of dedicated and talented practitioners. We're all proud of their accomplishments and appreciate the expertise and energy they bring to First Defense.

Congratulations Testers!

Congratulations! On June 13, FDKM held a test for students in the Practitioner ranks. We had students in their first test for P1 all the way through P4. Great performance by all the testers. While it's great to see everyone perform well during the test, we know a good test performance is the result of good preparation.
