MIDWEST KRAV MAGA

Congratulations to our Kids’ Program members who completed their Kickboxing Belt Test, and to our adult member Nora on completing her Modern Krav Maga Level 1 Test this weekend! 👏👏👏

Testing is about more than earning the next rank—it’s an opportunity to put your skills to the test, see how far you’ve come, and challenge yourself to keep growing.

Congratulations on reaching this milestone. We’re proud of you all! 🔥💪

A big shoutout to Tommy for representing Midwest Krav Maga at the AGF St. Louis Open BJJ Tournament this past Saturday! 🥋

Tommy stepped into the Absolute Division, taking on the challenge of competing against larger opponents and putting his skills to the test.

Gold wasn’t in the cards this time, but Tommy fought well, gained valuable competition experience, and showed the heart and determination it takes to step up and compete.

That’s what competition is all about—testing yourself, learning from the experience, and coming back better than you were before.

Great work, Tommy! We’re proud of you! 👊🔥

Don’t give up your guard without a fight.

Guard retention is an important part of Jiu-Jitsu because once an opponent passes your guard, they gain access to stronger positions and more control.

In this pic, our members are working on fundamental movements, frames, and positioning needed to prevent the pass and maintain control. 🥋

It’s been an awesome week at Midwest Krav Maga so far.

Great attendance, great energy, and a room full of people committed to getting better. Every class is another opportunity to sharpen your skills, challenge yourself, and learn alongside an incredible group of training partners.

We’re not done yet—there are still more classes to come. We’ll see you on the mats!

👊 A big shoutout to our Kids Program students for the progress they’re making in kickboxing! Every class, they’re building stronger fundamentals, improving their technique, and becoming more confident in their abilities.

Success isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up, listening, practicing, and improving one class at a time.

Keep working hard, keep having fun, and keep growing. We can’t wait to see what you’ll accomplish next! 💥🥊

Last week, our members trained in everyday clothing to explore how what you wear can influence a real-world self-defense encounter.
During our Krav Maga and Jiu-Jitsu classes, we focused on escaping common clothing grabs and learning how to use clothing to establish control.
Effective self-defense means preparing for the situations you’re most likely to face—not just the ideal training environment. Everyday clothing affects movement, creates unique challenges, and can even become an advantage when you understand how to use it.
Thank you to everyone who embraced the challenge and put in the work throughout the week. We had a great time, and we’re already looking forward to the next Street Clothes Training Week! 🔥
