is simple and easy to learn! CKM is based on your natural reactions and responses, and simple movements that can be easily remembered when under stress from attacks and threats. It is considered by many experts as the most devastating Israeli fighting system. The effectiveness of the techniques has been proven time and time again and are taught to the most elite commando units and SWAT forces in Israel and around the world.." In 2001, Mike began studying traditional style Krav Maga at the National Training Center in Los Angeles where he had the opportunity to train with some of the top instructors in the country in that system. He became certified as an instructor in that system in 2004 and moved to St. Louis where he helped to open and establish the first KM school there, St. Louis Self Defense and Fitness. In 2006, his school STLSDF explored looking into other Reality Based self defense systems to build their core curriculum around and discovered Combat Survival/Commando Krav Maga (CKM) created by Moni Aizik, a former member of the Israeli Special Forces. Mike was very impressed with the philosophy behind Moni’s no nonsense approach to self defense and the simplicity and effectiveness of the evolved techniques he taught. While many Krav Maga systems focus on “punishing” an attacker e.g. raining down punches and kicks etc., Commando Krav Maga practices quick disengagemets. He completed his level 3 instructors certification in CKMnder Moni and looks forward to sharing that training with his students.
