    Just keep it at level 0 anyways, maybe at some point you’ll want to test. But, that would be best.

    Hi Fred,

    Hopefully some other students will respond. We have since launched the new Global Martial Arts University Krav Maga course, which includes an automatic student locator, discussion board, activity feed, and way more features. The Total Krav Maga Home Study Course is a great training program, but we wanted to make a custom built website with the ability for everyone to communicate much more easily. You can go over there and create a free demo account to see what I am talking about. And, as I current TKM student, I can give you a pretty big discount if you want to upgrade you membership from Black Belt at Home to the Global Martial Arts University. After creating your demo account, go to the settings page to enter your address, bio, and photo. After you have done this, a new student locator tab will pop up, and you can see the students near you. I am pretty certain we have a few students near you.

    Hi Fred,

    Yes, this information is still correct. We don’t yet have a kids krav maga syllabus. We might be launching a complete kids only program late this upcoming year. For now, she could enroll and train with you in Total Krav Maga.

    Hi Ryra,

    Hopefully you’ve caught the eye of a new student from New York. I took the liberty of checking our student database, we do have a few students in NYC and Brooklyn.

    Our new online university, the Global Martial Arts University, has a student locator. It makes it really easy to see the students that are in your area. Currently, black belt at home does not have anything like this.

    I am going to email a few of these students and ask if they would be open to training with you, if they give me their permission, I would then share their email with you.

    Thanks! Michael

    Hi Peter,

    That’s a great observation. Let me do my best to explain.

    1) The demonstration of the down block in the down block lesson and in the white belt kata, Basic 1, is what we would like to see. This is how you should demonstrate the down block throughout your kata(s) and one steps, etc. In the training guide, Sensei Jon uses a slightly different preparation for the down block. There are lots of little variations in how to prepare for a down block.

    2) For practicing your kicks, both of these options can be considered correct. Practicing kicks with your arms down, next to the body, is a way to isolate your focus on the kicking leg and the core. It also helps you to maintain your balance, in the beginning stages of your training. Otherwise, you need to get into a good habit of bringing your hands up after/during a kick. When it comes to sparring and fighting, you don’t want to be caught with your hands down during or at the end of a kick, you will get knocked out. The arms down to the side is just an option for increased balance.

    I hope that is helpful! -Sensei Michael
