She’s Yellow!

After six months of training, sweating, boxing, kicking, and defense against chokes…I can finally call myself a yellow belt in the martial art of Krav Maga! As a part of a group called Legion, in conjunction with Krav Maga Federation gym, which aims to teach self defense to those who would join, myself and my classmates can now come to our own rescue (and help others) against certain physical attacks, and as we continue on, will become more adept at keeping ourselves and our loved ones safe. This program is truly special, providing not only the beginning Krav Maga training, but also tourniquet training, defense against active shooters, and the legalities of self defense. From the very first class on, I didn’t feel afraid walking home for the first time in at least half a decade. I feel so lucky to have found Legion and my new Krav community, and hope that more people will get the opportunity.
