Changed my life

Ryan Kavanaugh

To say that KMI changed my life while dramatic would be a gross understatement. I initially started taking Krav Maga to learn how to defend myself and my family, and to get in shape. However, when I transitioned from another school to KMI about two months into training, I got so much more out of it than I could have ever imagined. When I began my journey, I weighed about 294 lbs (I’m 5’5″ by the way) and was a habitual smoker. So far, I lost almost 80 lbs from the intense classes and discipline that I gained from the amazing trainers. I also quit using tobacco thanks to the life confidence that I gained from the classes. In class, Sue encouraged me to dig deep and push way beyond where I felt my limits were and helped me discover just how much further I could push myself and my true potential. In addition, I’ve gained so many wonderful friends that I get to see a few times a week because my fellow students in the KMI community are amazing individuals. They along with the no-nonsense trainers push me to become a better athlete and better person each time I go. For anyone even questioning whether to start self-defense training or where to go for training, I would say that KMI will not only help you get in shape but will change and very possibly save your life in more ways that you might think.
