Krav Maga of Orange County is happy to announce that Eric Hellberg has joined our teaching staff as the Kickboxing Instructor. Eric is a personal trainer who began his kickboxing career over 12 years ago. He holds several black belt ranks in various martial arts. He has been teaching martial arts since 2004 for 

self-defense and self-preservation. Eric's classes focus on good technique, working hard, and having fun. Krav Maga of Orange County is planning to launch noon and evening kickboxing classes on September 12, 2011 at both the Irvine and Mission Viejo locations.

As a courtesy to our existing students, the classes will be available for free for the month of September. The kickboxing program focuses kicks, punches, elbows and knees to get you in the best shape of your life. You will work hard and learn real life combative techniques. The class is open to all levels of experience. Kickboxing is a great way for everyone from beginners to advance students to work on combat conditioning, while getting in shape and enhancing your skills. 16 oz boxing gloves are required and can be purchased at the studio. The class schedule will be updated shortly on our website at www.kravmagaoc.com/schedule.

This class is considered an add-on. Please check with the instructors for pricing.

KMOC is committed to offering the highest quality of training to its student community. Stay tuned for more new and exciting developments in the next few months.

Hello everyone,

We are starting early registration for our kids classes.

At class, we're all used to warming up and training in our favorite gym shorts and KMOC t-shirt, loose and comfortable so we can stay cool and have a full range of motion during combatives and self defense.  Well, the reality is that unless you run into trouble while coming to or leaving Krav class, chances are that you may find yourself in that particular situation wearing something much more restrictive and less breathable.  Whether it's on the way to a formal function in a suit, or in a much cooler climate than So Cal in a winter coat or even if it's just a night out wearing jeans and a button-down shirt, you'll quickly realize that your movement is more restricted and your body temperature is less regulated.

During Street Clothes Week, we'll be training on our combatives and self defense but we'll be wearing clothes that we'd typically be wearing in everyday situations.  We'll also train from situations emphasizing a lack of readiness to increase the sense of reality in our exercises. 

We urge students NOT to dress for comfort!  You can wear what you'd like, but please wear shoes that are appropriate for the mats.  Also, make sure you stay hydrated so come to class prepared!

Enjoy Street Clothes Week!

We've been extremely busy expanding our program over the last 12 months.  We've opened up TWO dedicated facilities, first in Mission Viejo and then on April 1st, our Irvine facility was completed exactly on schedule!

We hosted 3 seminars including special guest instructors from Israel teaching topics from general self-defense and combative skills to gun and knife defenses.

On May 1st, we'll be hosting an Adrenal Stress Training seminar where students will be able to test their fighting and self-defense skills under high stress situations allowing full contact defenses and counter attacks. 

What's next?  We'll be expanding our schedule in Irvine in the coming months and we'll also be having some very high ranking Krav Maga instructors from the US and Israel for more special training!

We hope you can participate!
