WE HAVE OUR FIRST CKM ONE LEGGED INSTRUCTOR!

WE WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE DENNIS ALFONSO FOR SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING THE INTENSE CKM INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION COURSE!

Dennis is a true warrior and inspiration for all of us! He showed us that when we put our mind to something, we can achieve it. As an amputee, life hasn’t always come easy for this tough New Jersey native. We recently spoke with Dennis regarding his experience with the CKM Instructor Certification course

CKM: What inspired you to take the CKM Instructor Course?

Dennis: I’ve been in martial arts almost all my life. Growing up in a very tough neighborhood, I was always fascinated with the thought process of self-confidence. A lot of people I knew always felt the need to look intimidating or tough. I didn’t get into that. However, I did start training martial arts at the age of 6. After being involved with a few different martial arts, I felt that they were stagnant. One day, I read about CKM in Black Belt and figured I needed to try it and see if it was really as evolved and challenging as they said. I love to push myself to the limits. I was accepted into the course and the rest is history.

CKM: What did you think of the course?

Dennis: Let me tell you, after finishing the first day, I was questioning myself on whether I could continue. I just received my new prosthetic leg 8 days before the course. Normally it takes 4 months to get used to all the cuts and scrapes of working with a new prosthetic. The course was tough and my body felt like it was going to collapse! During my long drive home, I started telling myself that I’m no quitter! Even through the physical intensity, my mind and spirit felt invigorated. I felt this burning intensity to continue and decided to push myself through the course, regardless of how tough it was.

CKM: What, in your opinion, separates CKM from other systems?

Dennis: I find that CKM is much more evolved than any other system. Even during the course, Moni was always looking at ways to improve the techniques so that it could work for any type of person. Any other system that I’ve been involved with was always rigid in their thinking. Even if something wasn’t practical or effective, it was a requirement that you learn it. With Moni, his open mindedness was really unique. I was impressed to see that the creator of CKM was working so hard to make his system better for everyone. I was also attracted to the simplicity and practicality of the techniques and tactics. This system makes the most sense to be prepared for the street.

CKM: Why would you recommend CKM to other people?

Dennis: I want to let you know that I only like to be around people that want to advance and continuously improve themselves. I don’t like to plateau. As my mother told me when I was a child, “Show me who you hang out with and I’ll tell you who you are.” This system is about evolution and continuous improvement. Even being in martial arts all my life, I still questioned my abilities in a confrontation. With CKM, I found a new confidence. I truly feel that this is a system that can be utilized effectively in the street. With its evolved and practical techniques, CKM makes the most sense for anyone! I now have a lot of people, especially women, asking when I can teach them CKM!

 

Dennis is now the first Certified CKM Instructor with a prosthetic leg! He definitely earned his certificate through his dedication and mental toughness.

 
 

CKM INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION COURSE/BOOT CAMP

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?

Challenge yourself and see if you have what it takes to complete the CKM Instructor Certification Course/Intensive Boot Camp. Whether you want to take it for self-improvement or become a certified CKM Instructor, the CKM Boot Camp can help change your life physically and mentally! APPLY NOW

DON’T LIMIT YOURSELF! BE CONFIDENT! BE FIT! BE PREPARED!

Whether you’re faced with a gun, a knife, multiples attackers, a drug addict, someone with road rage or a violent drunk, Commando Krav Maga will give you the crucial tools necessary to survive. The comprehensive CKM Instructor Course/Boot Camp will arm you with the knowledge, tactics and techniques to protect yourself in any situation.

This life-changing training course will also get you into much better shape while instilling a new found confidence in you! Don’t let fear or intimidation stop you in what you want to do. We have people from all walks of life that have taken the course for self-improvement or to get certified and start teaching CKM in their community, people such as Laura Clark: 

The only relevant question one should ask when considering doing the instructor's CKM course is: Am I willing to evolve? That willingness then becomes the foundation for your transformation. I would venture to guess that there are very few life changing opportunities out there that reach so deep in just 4 days. 

This course is on the verge of some kind of commando magic—not because of the CKM content per se but rather the way in which you are taken into the realm of your own "limitations" and are then guided into a new way to fend for yourself and overcome your demons. When you land, at the end of the 4 days, in that place where you realize your potential, the lesson is simple: you have only just begun. That "new you" is then added to the exponential possibility of the next "new you" and suddenly you get why you are doing this (physical and mental thrashing aside). You wake up and feel your life again and the best reward of all is the realization that you have only just begun and there are multiple levels of learning and testing ahead. 

I had the privilege of reviewing levels 1&2 in St. Louis last week. Since I just tested in December, I was excited to take the class without the pressure of testing. Doing so gave me a different perspective and allowed me to realize how intrinsically valuable, creative, and potent this training is, regardless if you test, review, or are just attending for personal development. It really does not matter why you take the course

the benefits will be there if you are. 

Technically, I was so impressed by how, in just 5 months since I tested, Moni has evolved several of the techniques. His constant scrutiny of the techniques and their merit is at the heart of why this system is so dynamic. You can ask him about any "what if" attack scenario and in moments he will find the answer or sculpt an existing technique to meet the need. This is no stagnant art—it adapts to the ever changing reality required for survival. 

As a 47 year old woman who is just average on the athletic scale and in reasonably decent shape fitness wise, I am continuously intrigued by how easy CKM techniques are, even against towering, super-strong men. The techniques are clean, efficient, easy to remember, user-friendly, non-intimidating, and FUN!! If I can do this course know that any of you reading this (female or male) who are wondering if you would make it through—yes—you will!! Just trust yourself, be willing to evolve, and show up.

 

Many thanks to Moni for living and sharing his passion, and for creating the space for us all to evolve. Thanks for all of it!

GETTING TO BE ELITE – 5 Important Health Tips!

DO YOU WANT TO LOOK AND FEEL BETTER?

 Many of us know that health is an integral part of our lives, yet we seem to always neglect ourselves. With the fast-paced, fast-food, lack of time society that we live in, excuses become a ritual when we think about exercising. Here are some of the more popular excuses that we’ve heard: 

FIVE POPULAR EXCUSES:

1. I have no time for regular exercise.

It seems that most of us can find a couple of hours to watch TV. All you need is to find 30 minutes a day to start getting into better shape. Elite Combat Fitness exercises incorporate a total body workout, requiring just 30-45 minutes a day. Within a few weeks, you’ll start seeing AND feeling the results! Remember, Health Canada suggests a minimum of 30 minutes a day of exercise.

 2. It’s hard for me to find a place to work out.

Elite Combat Fitness exercises can be performed ANYWHERE! Whether it’s in your living room, basement, at a hotel room or at the park, ECF exercises are not limited to equipment packed gyms.

3. Working out is too boring for me.

That’s why ECF is so popular. In our training system, we have countless partner drills for you to choose from. It’s always great to work out with someone to better motivate yourself. You can perform the results-oriented ECF exercises with your spouse, a friend, your kids or another family member. Working out with a partner is great for getting quick results!

4. I’m out of shape and feel intimidated at the gym.

Elite Combat Fitness has plenty of individual exercises that you can perform at home. There are many exercises for starters to build you up into Elite shape. The earlier you start, the quicker you’ll see results!

5. I can’t afford expensive equipment to work out at home.

With Elite Combat Fitness, you don’t need any expensive fancy equipment. All you need to get started is the desire to get results, some workout clothes and 30-45 minutes of your time. 

  

Before you start making your next excuse to prevent you from exercise, keep these important facts in mind:

1. Regular physical activity and higher levels of fitness allow daily tasks to be accomplished with greater ease and comfort and with less fatigue. Functional decline with advancing age is no longer accepted so lightly as research shows that as much as one half of the decline between the ages of 30 and 70 is due not to aging itself but to an inactive way of life.

2. There is a positive relationship between workplace physical activity programs and job satisfaction. Higher job satisfaction, in turn, can lead to better employee morale, increased productivity, and reduced absenteeism.

3. Active individuals typically report improvement in energy levels, job attitude, and overall morale.

4. Weight-bearing physical activity reduces the rate of bone loss associated with osteoporosis. Regular physical activity maintains strength and flexibility, and balance and coordination, and can help reduce the risk of falls - a real worry for the elderly.

5. Physical activity helps maintain a healthy body weight, and is associated with positive self-esteem, greater self-efficacy, improved academic and cognitive performance, and greater perceived well-being. Physical activity helps reduce a number of risk factors for diseases such as coronary heart disease by setting positive habits early on in childhood and adolescence.

Be the next success story like Neil Greening (Neil is one of the many people who are enjoying the results from the Elite Combat Fitness conditioning exercises):

"I used to hate my "before" picture, but now I am quite proud of it... as a reminder. In the photo I had already lost a couple of pounds, and was feeling pretty good about it, but I had no idea of what was in store, and how quickly I could turn my poor conditioning around. At the time I was smoking heavily, and doing very little physical activity. I was looking for a change. I had done the traditional (pushing iron) gym thing, but found it boring, and unmotivating. I had bought a set of kettlebells, and was enjoying them, but it was not until I met Aaron that things really started to turn around. He was a Commando Krav Maga instructor, and was using Elite Combat Fitness for conditioning. The workouts where tough, but exactly the sort of challenge I was looking for. This regiment requires no equipment(although we do incorporate the kettlebells, and medicine balls), and is always changing. Some of the exercises, at first, seemed awkward... almost impossible in the condition I was in, but within weeks I became accustomed to the workouts, and things accelerated. My cardio, and my strength when through the roof. Within 3 months I dropped about 30 pounds, and there was no slowing down. Now at 40 years old I am in the best shape of my life, and getting better. I now have unbelievable core strength, rock solid legs, and unlimited endurance. ECF is a real work out, and got me truly fit."

DON’T BE A VICTIM

Personal and public safety is an ongoing concern for all of us. Every time we turn on the T.V. or read a newspaper, there is always at least one incident regarding an assault, a robbery, a shooting, a stabbing, a home invasion, domestic violence…you get the idea. Our safety and the safety of our loved ones are always on our mind. Here are some quick suggestions on minimizing your risk and exposure:

 

 PERSONAL SAFETY TIPS FOR ADULTS: 

Home Security

  • Make sure your home is secure. Put deadbolts on doors and good locks on windows.
  • Change the locks when you move into a new place.
  • Make sure your entrances are lit and install a peephole in your door.
  • Get to know your neighbours and keep an eye on each other's homes.
  • Inquire with police if there is a Neighbourhood Watch or Block Parent program in your community.

In Your Community

  • When walking, know where you are going.
  • Stay on well-lit streets.
  • Don't obstruct your view with parcels that can slow you down.
  • Pay attention to your instincts - if your gut tells you not to go one way, choose another path. If you feel you are being followed, quickly assess your options. Can you run or change direction? Are there people nearby or houses or businesses to run to? Do what you can, fast. You may not be in danger, but it's best to play it safe.
  • Contact the your local police if you see suspicious activity

In Your Car

  • When you are driving or parking your car, use common sense to protect yourself.
  • Lock your doors immediately after you get in your car.
  • Never pick up hitch-hikers.
  • Do not stop to pick up stranded motorists. The best thing you can do is call someone like the police to assist.
  • Park in well lit areas and keep your vehicle locked when it is parked.
  • If your vehicle breaks down, raise the hood and switch on the hazard lights. Stay inside the car with the windows up and the doors locked. If somebody offers help, assess the situation to see if it is safe to accept assistance. Is the helper another motorist with a family, or a lone driver? If you feel unsafe, ask the helper to call for assistance.
  • Be alert getting in and out of your car. Always have your keys ready when you approach your car and check that no one is inside before you get in.
  • Do not keep your car registration and license in your car - they'll tell burglars where you live. Keep them in your purse or wallet instead.

 

Remember!

Simple precautions can reduce your risk of assault, but even the most alert and cautious person can still end up a victim. If you are assaulted, call the police immediately - the sooner you report the crime, the better. Talk to someone who can help you deal with your feelings about the assault - a friend, a family member, or counselor.
You can also decide to empower yourself and be prepared for the unexpected.


DON’T BE A VICTIM!

With the escalation in crime and violence, it’s time you took action. Originally used by the Israeli Special Forces Commando Units, Commando Krav Maga has now been modified for civilian use on the street. Feel confident even when you’re walking to your car late at night by yourself.


ONE DAY MAKES A DIFFERENCE!

The Commando Krav Maga public seminar will introduce you to some of the most crucial life saving tactics and techniques including gun disarming, knife survival tactics, defense against strikes, ground survival and much more. This seminar will also help you get into the mindset of your attacker and prepare you mentally. In only a few shorts hours, you will leave the seminar with some of the most valuable tips and techniques that can help save your life or the life of a loved one!
