Our Krav Maga Instructors

Marshell and Heike were certified as Krav Maga instructors at the National Training Center in Los Angeles California in October of 2006. During their certifications they were put through a tough regiment of physical and mental tests.
In April of 2006 Marshell and Heike flew to L.A. for a seminar on Krav Maga and firearms training. Marshell who has 20 years of martial arts experience and Heike who has a couple of years of serious kickboxing and boxing training were there to see if Krav was the real thing or just another fad. They met with professionals in every field of martial arts, military, and weapons training. They soon learned that this system was for real and came back hungry to set up their certification.
In October 2006 they flew out to the National Training Center in L.A. to begin their certification. Each day, which consisted of at least 8 to 10 hours of training tested their wits, physical strength, and mental toughness. Some of their training included water training(in the ocean) coupled with beach sprints, shock knife training(knife combat with a taser-like knife blade), kettle bell training, gun and knife defenses, and carjacking defenses. Every day was full blast as they trained one technique after another with some students even dropping out. Heike was the only woman in the class and was paired up with men who were substantially bigger. However, she pushed through showing great heart and toughness. Marshell was able to get through with his extensive martial arts background and knowledge. In the end they both finished their certifications scoring very high overall on their tests. Marshell and Heike will provide you with the best instruction in Krav Maga that you can get. We are proud here at KBX GYM to have them running our program.
