Level 1 Test Prep and Vaccines!

Good morning everyone! First, I’m happy to report that I’ve joined many of the KMR community in becoming fully vaccinated. Every day I’m hearing staff and members talk about getting their first or second dose, and we steadily moving towards the day when when the pandemic will be behind us, and we can take off those darn masks. But it is not this day! Stay patient, stay cautious, and we’ll get there soon. After the level 1 review on Saturday, we are close to the next test.

Get Ready For Kraventines!

Good morning everyone! We are in the last week of January, so that means February and Kraventines is right around the corner. Those of you who have been with KMR for a year or more will remember Kraventines, a partner-attendance competition we run every year in February. Basically you and your "Krav spouse" (any training partner from the studio) will team up and come to classes together. Historically the competition has been that the Krav couple that takes the most classes in February before Valentine's Day wins a a gift card to a very nice Raleigh restaurant.

Happy Sunday everyone!First, a huge congratulations to everyone who passed the level 1 and level 2 tests this weekend! Preparing for and passing the tests is always difficult, and like everything this year, was more difficult than usual.

These tests were the first major events we've had since the LAST level 1 test back in March, and were a great way to finish the year.

Thanksgiving Schedule and Risk Management

Good morning everyone! Happy Thanksgiving week, and I hope everyone will get some deserved time off, and a relaxing vacation one way or another. We do have classes on a reduced schedule over the long weekend, look below for the schedule.
