NEW CLASS FOR KIDS
This August, we're also brining back a class for our youngest Kravists.

On Thursday, June 29th, FDKM will be at Singh Sabha Gurdwara for a community event.

TRAIN WITH EYAL YANILOV OF KMG

Eyal Yanilov started his Krav Maga training in 1974 and spent the next 20+ years working closely with the founder of Krav Maga, Imi Lichtenfeld. He is the head of Krav Maga Global (and Nick's instructor). This is Eyal's first trip to the States (and to FDKM) in over 4 years.

In this seminar, Lead Instructor Nick Masi will be joined by Shawna Potter to offer a seminar that will give you the tools and confidence to stand up for yourself and for others.

Shawna is an activist, musician, and the author of “Making Spaces Safer: A Guide to Giving Harassment the Boot Wherever You Work, Play, and Gather,” a guide for anyone looking to make their community more fun and inclusive.

FDKM is proud to announce that we are now an affiliate of the Bang Muay Thai (BMT) System. We've been a fan of Duane Ludwig, both as a fighter and a coach, for years. This is an exciting opportunity for us to utilize his amazing curriculum to build out or Strike classes and introduce more sparring options for our students.

Our Introduction to Krav Maga Courses are back!

Our September Youth Program Introduction begins on Tuesday, September 6 and will run every Tuesday & Thursday for 8 sessions.
