Just over a week left to register for our Women’s Self Defense Seminar. 👊

We intentionally keep these classes small. Not to create hype — but because smaller groups mean more hands-on instruction, more one-on-one coaching, and a better experience for everyone in the room.

We’ve opened just a couple additional spots for June 20, and once those are filled, registration will close.

📅 June 20
🕘 9AM–Noon
💲 $40

If you’ve been thinking about signing up, now’s the time.

Big congrats to some of our Kids Krav students on leveling up recently! 👊

🥋 Aiden earned his Kids Orange Belt
🥋 Gabe earned his Kids Orange Belt
🥋 Carlo earned his Kids Orange Belt
🥋 Jonah earned his Kids Orange Belt

Aiden, Gabe, and Jonah are brothers — which probably means their house has become significantly louder lately. 😂

These promotions are earned through consistency, focus, hard work, and showing up ready to learn week after week.

We’re proud of these guys and the confidence they continue building on and off the mats.

And a shoutout to our instructors who somehow balance discipline, encouragement, and complete goofball energy all in the same class. That’s a big reason kids love training here.

Great work, boys. Keep going. 👊

April:
“Please remember your homework.”

May:
Counting down the days while surviving field trips, testing week, and kids suddenly forgetting every classroom rule they’ve learned since September. 😂

June:
Learning Krav Maga and realizing this is WAY more fun than staff meetings.

This summer, teachers train FREE at Grand Rapids Self Defense with proof of employment.

A fun way to stay active, learn practical skills, clear your head, and do something for yourself. And honestly… after parent-teacher conferences, Krav Maga probably won’t even phase you. 😂

📅 Mondays & Wednesdays
🕕 6PM–7PM

“Lighthearted.”
“Fun.”
“Not intimidating.”
“Non-judgmental.”

This mother-daughter duo shared their experience after attending our last Women’s Self Defense Seminar — and honestly, we couldn’t describe the atmosphere better ourselves.

You’ll learn practical self-defense skills in an environment that’s supportive, approachable, and actually enjoyable to be part of.

📅 Our next seminar is on Saturday, June 20 at 9am in Grandville

Women are taught a lot of things growing up.

Be polite.
Don’t overreact.
Don’t make a scene.
Be careful.

You know what almost nobody teaches? What to do if someone grabs you.
How to hit with intention.
How to get out.
How to react under pressure instead of freezing.
That’s what this class is for.

Not empowerment quotes.
Not “girl boss” energy.
Actual skills.
