Livermore Martial Arts Academy

Livermore Martial Arts Academy Martial Arts academy for self defense, fitness and life skills for all ages. www.LivermoreGotKicks.com We offer classes for children 3 and up, teens and adults.

Livermore Martial Arts Academy (LMAA) teaches a blended martial arts program consisting of a variety of disciplines which cover striking, grappling and weapons for a well rounded self defense system. LMAA offers Krav Maga for self defense for men and women 16 and up. Our classes will help us target each student’s stages of development even more than before! Through scientific research and psycholo

gical developments, our new age-specific classes will provide MAXIMUM results in the classroom. Why do we say that our new age-specific classes can generate maximum results? An international study was done to understand the growth and development stages of children between the ages of 3 to 14. Children were evaluated on the physical, intellectual, social, and emotional stages. From those results, a comprehensive format for martial arts education was created for 3 & 4-year olds, 5 & 6-year olds, 7 to 9-year olds, and 10 to 14-year olds. What does this mean for your child? Our classes are going to target your child’s skills and abilities even more than before! This means that our classes will target the students’ stages of development to the point where each class will not be too challenging or too easy - each class should be just right! Our goal is to have each student leaving class feeling stronger and more confident in every class!

🎉 Proud Instructor Moment 🎉

A huge congratulations to two of our Livermore Martial Arts Academy 2nd Degree Black Belts who have demonstrated years of dedication, discipline, perseverance, and leadership both on and off the mat.

🥋 Missael (left) has been accepted to the University of Southern California.
🥋 Roman (right) has been accepted to New York University.

These are two of the top universities in the country for film and production, and we couldn’t be more proud of their accomplishments.

Black belt training is about much more than martial arts—it’s about developing the mindset, work ethic, and character to succeed in every area of life. These young men are proof of that.

Congratulations, Missael and Roman! Your LMAA family is proud of you and excited to see what you accomplish next. 🎬🎓🥋

One of my best friends, Rocky Abild, is competing in a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu super fight on June 6th, and I couldn’t be more proud of him.

Less than a year ago, Rocky weighed 301 pounds. He set a goal to reach 170 pounds by his 50th birthday on June 6th—and he did it. That’s an incredible 131-pound transformation in under a year.

Rocky achieved this through incredible discipline and consistency. He embraced a One Meal a Day (OMAD) lifestyle, incorporated extended fasting and other fasting protocols, improved his nutrition, and made countless positive lifestyle changes along the way. None of it was easy, but he stayed committed to his goal every single day.

What impresses me most isn’t the weight he lost—it’s the determination, grit, and mindset he developed throughout the process. When most people would have quit, Rocky kept showing up and putting in the work.

His journey has been a huge inspiration to me personally. Watching him transform his life motivated me to make positive changes in my own life as well. He is living proof that it’s never too late to take control of your health and completely change your future.

Now he’s stepping onto the Fight 2 Win stage for a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu super fight, on his 50th birthday. Win or lose, he’s already accomplished something extraordinary.

I’m proud to call Rocky one of my best friends. Please join me in supporting him and cheering him on. Let’s show him some love and wish him luck on June 6th! You can watch it on live stream! See link in comments:

Go get ’em, Rocky! 👊🥋🔥💪

At Livermore Martial Arts Academy, we believe you can’t truly learn takedowns without feeling real resistance.

There’s a big difference between drilling techniques… and trying to control someone who is actively resisting.

Resistance training teaches timing, balance, pressure, and how to stay calm during real struggle.

Technique is important.
Technique under pressure is different.

Age 65. Age 63.
Most people would say it’s too late. Too hard. Too much.
But not Keith. Not Steve.
While the rest of the class completed a 3-day Black Belt test, they stepped up for 4 days.
Keith came in after wrist surgery last year.
Steve carried the weight of two shoulder surgeries—and a torn Achilles the year before.
Every movement had a cost. Every round demanded more than they probably had left to give.
Battered. Bruised. Exhausted.
And they kept going.
No excuses. Just heart, grit, and a refusal to quit.
They didn’t just pass a test—they proved something deeper. That strength isn’t about age. It’s about mindset. It’s about showing up when it hurts, when it’s hard, when everything tells you to stop… and choosing to go anyway.
They earned their Black Belts in Krav Maga.

I get asked all the time… “Do groin kicks actually work?”

Here’s a real answer.
This clip is from our recent Livermore Martial Arts Academy Black Belt test this past weekend—live sparring, real pressure, no scripts. A smaller student delivered a clean groin kick on a larger attacker, and the reaction says everything. Imagine if it was a full power kick !

Technique matters. Timing matters. But when it’s done right, it works.
Krav Maga isn’t about size—it’s about using the right tools at the right moment.

Staff at Livermore Martial Arts Academy just completed a First Aid & CPR training—an important step in keeping our students and community safe.

Big thank you to CPR FAST for the hands-on training and guidance. Prepared, confident, and ready to respond when it matters most.

9 years ago, two friends walked into Livermore Martial Arts Academy together—just kids, just starting out.

Today, they stand side by side as Black Belts.

Same journey. Same challenges. Same commitment. And they never quit on each other.

This is what consistency, friendship, and discipline can build over time.
