(1)

Building a better community through martial arts training, empowering leadership, growth, and an indomitable spirit Nashville Krav Maga opened its doors in June 2012 offering premier self defense training in Krav Maga. We provide group classes in self defense and fitness to hundreds of clients wanting to become safer and increase their fitness. Additionally, NKM provides group training to law enforcement agencies, US military units, women’s groups, and other organizations. At NKM, we pride ourselves on having reality-based training that simulates real life confrontations. We don’t incorporate any techniques or training methods unless they are effective and practical for everyday situations. We’ve spent a great deal of time, energy, and effort perfecting exercises that help develop an aggressive fighting spirit without sacrificing student safety. Beginning in December 2013, Nashville Krav Maga is continuing our goal of being the leader in self defense by offering a complete Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program. By combining two of the greatest self defense disciplines in the world, Nashville Krav Maga and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu continues the goal of becoming a preeminent, full-service training center, dedicated to providing the finest Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and fitness instruction in the Middle Tennessee area.

And finally, Black Belt Wisdom, Part 5: Martin Gallagher!

Martin speaks to perseverance, consistency and commitment. Krav not coming naturally or immediately doesn’t mean it won’t come at all (as long as you keep coming back). Martin embodies the truth that a Black Belt is a White Belt who never quit. And we are so glad he didn’t!!! 🥋

Part 4 of our Black Belt Wisdom series comes from Murfreesboro’s Brian Donahue. 🥋

“Your decision to become a success lies primarily at where you draw your line for quitting.”

Success is a choice and so is failure. We always say at NKM, that there is no “losing,” only learning. We only lose if we decide to quit. Remember the end of our student creed? Brian is demonstrating in real time what it looks like to choose to win.

Black Belt Wisdom, Part 3 with Judson Phillips!

There will always be excuses not to train. Don’t let that stop you for training anyway.

Judson goes on to say that in his decade of training, there was never a single day that he came in to take a class or two and left feeling like it wasn’t worth it. He always, always left feeling glad he came.

SO maybe you’re tired this week. That’s okay, let us give you some energy on the mat. 💪🏼

Black Belt Wisdom, Part 2! 🥋

This weekend we celebrated all of our new stripes and belts at graduation. June is always extra special, because we get to celebrate a new group of Black Belts. 🥋

They shared some wisdom with us, and we will be sharing it with everyone who didn’t get to join us.

Kicking off our Black Belt Wisdom series is Ben Welch, who encourages us to “persist and never quit.” After 12 years of training and being an advocate for our school and community, this guy knows what he’s talking about. 💪🏻

Q4- 2025 OUTSTANDING STUDENTS

Michael (Adults)- what a guy. has been training long before the brand NKM was in action, Michael has been an incredible student, and has taken on many responsibilities within the organization. teaching kids and adults alike, we cherish this man.

Kaya (Youth)- has been a staple part of our team. just earning her blue belt in youth class, Kaya has been attending our MMA classes on Saturday which can be intimidating and exhausting. she has persevered through the first couple lessons and has become a great grappler and fighter.

Liliana (Kids)- she’s sweet but also tough as nails. this girl will do it all. between BBT and Master’s Club, liliana cannot be stopped. respectful, driven, and kind, she is the definition of an outstanding student.

keep a lookout for updates on this weekend, and stay safe! ☃️
