"On Monday July 27, I challenged myself. The challenge was, for the next 270 days, to do everything I could to improve my overall health and level of fitness...to get myself in the best possible shape by day 270. As part of my plan, I joined Ohio Krav Maga & Fitness on August 25. Here's a few of the milestones from the first 135 days...
- Completely changed my diet from eating out at fast food/pizza/wing joints most of the time, drinking soda like breathing air, and generally gorging myself on really crappy food to...a really clean Zone-Paleo hybrid that I didn't even cheat on for Thanksgiving!!! (my family thought I was nuts)
- On August 27, I tried to run a mile. It took me eleven minutes and twenty seconds to complete (with plenty of walking). Today, my mile time is almost under 9 minutes.
- July 27, I had a 42/43 inch waistline. Today, it's 37/38 inches. I've thrown out a few of my fat clothes and moved into some 'not quite as fat' clothes.
- When I first started, I could barely make it through one Krav 1 class. Now, taking Krav 1 back to back with Muay Thai or Cross fit.
- Body weight July 27, 2009: 284 lbs
Body weight today: 239 (-45 lbs) "

"While in Las Vegas on business I took a very early morning stroll. During my walk two men approached me asking for money,. I told them that I didn't have any and began to walk away. As I began to walk one man grabbed my shirt collar. Without hesitation I elbowed him in the face and kneed him in the body as hard as I could. As he fell the other individual started towards me so I hammer fisted him in the face and he fell as well. I couldn't believe what had just occurred…I didn't think about it, I just reacted. I knew to throw elbows and knees and fists….Krav Maga trains you for this and creates real life situations in training. Krav Maga might have saved my life!"—Greg M.
"I have been a member of Ohio Krav Maga since July 2007. I have always wanted to learn a martial art and have taken a couple different disciplines for short periods of time. I quickly became bored and disappointed because I was not getting the workouts that were necessary to help me become physically fit. When I found Ohio Krav Maga my fitness level immediately began to increase. I feel more confident in pushing myself physically as well as defending myself if a situation were to occur. I am also impressed with the instructors and their knowledge base. They are very patient while at the same time constantly pushing you to the next level. My doctor even told me to keep doing what I am doing because my fitness level and blood pressure readings are looking great." —David H.
