    The Importance Of Continued Training

    by: Ehren Hollander
    So life as we know it has decided to temporarily change and forced us all to adapt very quickly and you’re finding yourself generally stuck inside your house with limited ability to get outside and go to your favorite place (yes, I’m talking about Krav Oz). The first few days of this had some upsides (aside from how serious this situation really is): you’ve hopefully been able to avoid your morning commute, maybe you got some cooking in, caught up on a few shows you’ve been meaning to watch, finished a few projects that you’ve been putting off, and spent more time with those other people you occasionally see in your house ....

    The 4 EXTRAS in Children's Extracurricular Activities


    by: Chantell Prestcott


    Introduction:
    Whether its sports, theater, fine arts, or martial arts, there is indeed no lack of extracurricular activities available for our student and children to choose from. As parents, we know that the academic/curricular material taught at school is paramount and will have a tremendous impact on our children's future. However, the EXTRAcurricilur activities that happen in addition to school can be equally, if not more, significant. Here are Four Extra benefits your child stands to gain from participation in extracurriculars:
    1.) DECREASED ANXIETY
    As the competition increases for students to secure a spot in top colleges or ....

  • Run-Hide-Fight Is a Tag Line Not a Solution: Active Shooter Defense Training

    In a world that is constantly changing, it is on us to stay ahead of the curve. Unfortunately, sometimes the world does not change for the better as we see with the prevalence of Active Killer scenarios occurring throughout the United States. Where deranged attackers are taking advantage of good people when and where they feel safest, the Active Killer Defense ® (AKD) program teaches the common citizen how to effectively respond to combat these horrific attacks. There is no question that long-term solutions are needed to prevent these events from occurring in the first place. Krav Oz believes that these long-term solutions should be sought after and methodically planned and ....

    Count Results. Not Steps.


    by: Chantell Prestcott




    We live in a world where almost anything can be tracked, and nearly everything is measured and quantified. We measure our progress professionally: We try to quantify our productivity at work, we track sales, measure customer satisfaction, and quantify everything from social media likes to airline miles, and credit card points. And now we live in a world where our health, or perceived health, is quantified from every heartbeat and step taken to calorie burned and minute spent in a REM state of sleep is tallied and calculated to tell us more about our well-being. However, quantifying health habits are a bit troublesome to me. Here’s why:
    Trusting Your ....

  • Are You Safe From Yourself?


    by: Chantell Prestcott


    Introduction:

    I hope none of my students will ever have to use the self-defense skills I’ve taught them to fend off a gunman or a knife wielding attacker. The reality is that with common sense, avoidance of danger and using de-escalation tactics, a violent encounter can be less of a risk to the average person. However, there are threats that eventually most of us will have to face no matter where we live or what our occupation is: eventually we will be forced to defend ourselves against the prospects of declining health and the effects of growing older. These prospects are often made worse by our busy and demanding lives, which can result in a lack of ....

  • Putting Self-Defense Back in the Self Defense Industry

    by: Ehren Hollander

    The self-defense and martial arts industry experienced a resurgence and revolution of sorts over the last 20 years. Tied almost directly to the rise of the mixed martial arts (MMA) and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the industry has taken a dramatic turn, which in some ways has been very good, and in other ways not as much. The UFC created a resurgence in the desire to train in the martial arts. This new phenomenon, seen first in the early 1990’s, largely introduced the United States to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and Muay Thai. In ....

  • The Disciplined Tasmanian Devil: 5 Pillars To Consider in Self-Defense Training


    by: Ehren Hollander


    Introduction

    Every karate, Judo, MMA, BJJ, Systema, and Krav Maga school is going to profess their perspective of self-defense. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be doing what they love and teaching what they teach. Even larger than the differences between schools are the different perspectives of self-defense, which can be great enough to differentiate entire styles from each other. Some perspectives are more complicated than others and some still use the term “self-defense” when they fully know they are a tournament-based school training for rules rather than a life-threatening violent encounter. Over more than two decades of training, ....

Self Defense in Germantown

Denise Castro

Last month, I was only going to sign up my 12 year old son but decided to sign up after taking an introductory class. Every class is different and I am learning something new each time. Chantell and Ehren are awesome trainers that push us to do our best. I would definitely recommend Krav Oz LLC to my family and friends!

Krav Maga near Germantown

Elizabeth Ibanez

I took a Women's Self Defense class with Chantell in July and instantly felt a need to continue. A few days later I signed a 12 month contract. I can't believe how far I've come since day one. Chantell and Ehren are amazing instructors. They are so passionate about what they do. Every class is better than the last. I’m constantly talking about my training with my friends and family. I would highly recommend Krav Oz LLC. I don’t know how they do it but I leave every class with a huge smile on my face. Thank you, Chantell and Ehren!

Self Defense in Germantown

Katie Barnett

I recently attended Krav Oz's Self Defense seminar in Rockville - and it was fantastic! A comprehensive four hours covering everything I could want, and at just the right speed to keep me and the other attendees challenged and engaged. From start to finish, Chantell and Ehren provided excellent instruction; without sacrificing the skill and passion they possess for their field, Chantell and Ehren created an encouraging and stimulating environment fueled by real life, practical examples in the lecture portion, and helpful analogies to make the defense moves in the self-defense portion hit home (pun intended). In short, this seminar was one from which all could benefit - whether you've never heard of Krav Maga, or have spent years on the mats. Can't wait to come check out a class!
