Your body adapts fast to comfortable workouts. That’s the problem.
COMBAT FIT was built to push harder.
Heavy movement. Controlled aggression. Full-body conditioning.
You’ll hit. Push. Pull. Sweat. Recover. Repeat.
And you’ll probably discover muscles you forgot existed. 😂

🔥 COMBAT FIT — COMING SOON!

What a great group. 👊
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Saturday's Women's Self Defense Seminar.

You worked hard, asked great questions, stepped outside your comfort zones, and most importantly—you had fun doing it.

We're already looking forward to the next seminar and hope to see many of you back on the mats again.

Until then, stay safe and keep practicing.
If you missed Saturday's class, watch here for details on the next seminar in the fall!

Happy Father’s Day to the dads who show up.

The dads coaching from the sidelines.
The dads carrying sleeping kids from the car.
The dads fixing things, teaching things, and pretending they know exactly what they're doing. 😂

The dads who lead by example.

Strength isn't always about being the biggest or toughest person in the room.

Sometimes it's being dependable.
Being present.
Being the person your family knows they can count on.

To all the strong dads out there — we appreciate you.

Happy Father’s Day from Grand Rapids Self Defense. 👊

Teachers already protect people every day. They manage stress. They stay alert. They handle difficult situations. They care for students constantly.

This summer is about equipping educators with practical skills, awareness, and confidence outside the classroom, too. Teachers train for free this summer!

The women who signed up will have spent three hours learning, practicing, laughing, and building skills they'll remember long after June 20, and we'll post pics next week.

Everyone else will be saying:
"Ah man, I meant to do that."

There's still time.

Teachers spend most of the year focused on everyone else.

Students.
Parents.
Lesson plans.
Meetings.
Activities.
Deadlines.

Summer is one of the few times educators get to invest in themselves.

That's why Grand Rapids Self Defense is offering FREE summer training for teachers.

No grades.
No paperwork.
No staff meetings.

Just an hour a couple nights a week dedicated to building awareness, practical skills, and personal confidence.

📅 Mondays & Wednesdays
🕕 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
📆 Through August 14
👥 Limited to 20 teachers

Just over a week left to register for our Women’s Self Defense Seminar. 👊

We intentionally keep these classes small. Not to create hype — but because smaller groups mean more hands-on instruction, more one-on-one coaching, and a better experience for everyone in the room.

We’ve opened just a couple additional spots for June 20, and once those are filled, registration will close.

📅 June 20
🕘 9AM–Noon
💲 $40

If you’ve been thinking about signing up, now’s the time.

This summer, we want to give something back.

Because educators deserve to feel safer, stronger, and more prepared, too.

Big congrats to some of our Kids Krav students on leveling up recently! 👊

🥋 Aiden earned his Kids Orange Belt
🥋 Gabe earned his Kids Orange Belt
🥋 Carlo earned his Kids Orange Belt
🥋 Jonah earned his Kids Orange Belt

Aiden, Gabe, and Jonah are brothers — which probably means their house has become significantly louder lately. 😂

These promotions are earned through consistency, focus, hard work, and showing up ready to learn week after week.

We’re proud of these guys and the confidence they continue building on and off the mats.

And a shoutout to our instructors who somehow balance discipline, encouragement, and complete goofball energy all in the same class. That’s a big reason kids love training here.

Great work, boys. Keep going. 👊
