    I’ve been involved in Martial Arts all my life. My first instructor was Pat Johnson. For those of you who don’t know, he was the referee at the end of Karate Kid 1 back in 1984. He was from a small town 5 minutes North of me, so I trained under him for a while. Then I got into KungFu, and Tia Chi, but I wasn’t happy with the way my instructor was teaching me. I only went for a year. I’ve also done a video series from Gracie JuJitsu. Recently however, I was told by my doctor that I was overweight, and had developed Diabetes. He suggested I exercise to loose 40 pounds in order to get my Diabetes under control. I’m not much of an exercise person so I wanted something more.

    I decided to get back into martial arts, and really wanted to go back to KungFu but there were no schools for that besides the one I was at and I wasn’t happy with them. Looking at the Blackbelt at Home Tia Chi program, I was interested and then I saw Krav Maga. I felt Krav Maga was a more physical program and that would help me more in the weight loss so I opted to do this instead. Maybe some day I will go back to Tia Chi.

    Am I correct in stating that this is all you want in the journal?

    Sensei Michael,

    Is this still accurate information? I have an 11 year old daughter who I would like to teach while I learn. Is there a syllabus for the Kids Krav Maga yet?

    Hi everyone. I’m Fred Claus (yes, I’m Santa’s big brother). Money has been tight around my house but a generous gift from my pastor allowed me to buy the Total Krav Maga program home study program. I can’t wait to get started, and networking with you guys as well. I’ve been involved in Martial Arts since I was a kid. I’ve taken Karate, Kung Fu and BJJ. I can’t wait to get involved in Krav now.
