I started training Krav Maga after taking a Women’s Self-Defense seminar run by KMNY. My sister had been trying to get me to take class after she did the same seminar the year before but I didn’t want to be the only one there who didn’t know what they were doing. When the Women’s Self-Defense seminar came back around I took it, and I’ve been with KMNY for 9 years ever since. The biggest thing that has changed since starting training in Krav Maga 9 years ago is my confidence. Knowing how to protect yourself in countless different situations makes you feel more secure in yourself in your every day life. Once I started training I was taking multiple classes a day 5 days a week. I wanted to learn as much as I could and was always striving to get better and reach the next belt level.
