"Eye of the Tiger"

Black Belt Test at KMA Headquarters!

Congratulations to the talented group from Krav Maga New York that tested for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Degree Black Belt with the Krav Maga Alliance.  That was a grueling day of testing with cumulative work throughout the curriculum, stress drills, and sparring both standing up and on the ground. The 1st Degree candidates, of course, had to test their knife defenses against a real knife!

Congratulations to Davide Gristina, owner of Krav Maga New York, and Erin O'Neill, Program Director, for earning their Fourth Degree Black Belts with the Krav Maga Alliance. The test includes  a recap of earlier techniques in the system, fighting and grappling skills, and culminates in firearms drills that include grappling (standing and on the ground), striking, and then putting accurate rounds down range under time constraints.
