Team Tuesday

TampaKravMaga.com

 

Today I am grateful to have such an amazing instructor team!

I can’t wait to tell you more about Shihan Harley, Shihan Carolyn, Shihan Bond, Sensei Sarah, Sensei Ben, Sensei Mac, Sensei Michelle and Senpai Charlie, but…

 

For today’s Team Tuesday, I am excited to welcome two new members to Team KMMA!



 

Christopher Benemio began his Martial Arts journey in 2010 in Connecticut. He began with Kempo Karate under the tutelage of a friend of mine, Hanshi Dave Kovar, so I know of his pedigree even before he started training with us in my Blackbelt Leadership program and KMMA Blackbelt class.

 

Chris holds a 2nd Degree Blackbelt in Kempo Karate, Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and is Level 3 with Krav Maga Worldwide and training to test for his KMMA Blackbelt and instructor certification in our Krav Maga Martials system under my mentorship soon.

 

I am very excited to welcome Chris to the team and the journey! Chris will begin helping out as an Assistant Instructor immediately and I believe he is going to be an awesome KMMA Head and Chief Instructor one day! He’s already making a positive impact on an already fantastic floor, and I’m excited to have him on the Team and helping sow into our future Blackbelt Leaders!



 

Ms. Isabella Johnson is a KMMA Blackbelt Leadership student testing for her purple belt next month.

 

She’s recently graduated high school and was looking for her purpose, wanting to do a job that would make a difference.

 

So, she is now a new Program Director in training, under the tutelage of Ms. Barb and Ms. Ruthe, and I know she’s going to do great, have a successful career with Krav Maga Martial Arts and do an amazing job helping us provide the very highest level of service to you in support of our mission of Prepare To Live and Empower To Lead!

 

Say hi to both of them when you see them!

They’re also just friendly, fun and awesome folk.

 

I know you’ll love them.

Help me welcome them to the Team!

Prepare To Live; Empower To Lead!
