Ruthe Flores, Blackbelt Leader
You may not know this, but Ruthe Flores is the NCOIC of Krav Maga Martial Arts HQ in Lutz.
She’s been working with me since Nov 2018 and training with us since January 2019.
She’s an amazing leader and fundamental piece contributor to Team KMMA and our mission.
by the way, in case you don’t know, NCOIC means non-commissioned officer in charge.
and in case you didn’t know, “Chief” (Ruthe) was a Chief Master Sergeant in the Air Force, the highest enlisted rank, before she joined Team KMMA all those years ago.
and, in case you didn’t know, we officers in the military are very grateful for our NCO’s… they’re the ones that help us turn our visions and missions into reality.
And so it was with great honor that i recently promoted Ruthe to the same position in our organization.
She will be instrumental in helping lead KMMA forward in our mission and vision.
