Krav Maga is the official defensive tactics system of the Israeli Defense Force. Their soldiers are men and women aged 18-51, so their fighting system focuses on techniques that are based on instinctive movements (they are easy to learn and remember under stress). The techniques are not dependent on size, strength, or special physical ability - Krav Maga can be utilized by men and women of all ages. It is the most practical, fastest-growing self-defense system in the United States, used by hundreds of U.S. law enforcement agencies and military units, and practiced by thousands of adults across the country.
With locations in Southaven, Memphis, and Oakland. Our goal at KMD is to provide members of all ability and fitness level the skills necessary to defend themselves during a dangerous altercation. Krav Maga is a serious self-defense system with a strong emphasis on building physical fitness.

Meet the Business Owner: Michael H.
Michael began his martial arts training in 1989. His background includes Taekwondo, Jiujitsu, Muay Thai, and Kali. He found Krav Maga in the spring of 2004, and after just a few months of training, traveled to the National Training Center in Los Angeles, CA, to begin his instructor training. In 2010, he decided to open his own school in Desoto County after being approached by several of his students who were having trouble making the drive to Memphis. In August of 2012 Mike earned the prestigious rank of Instructor Black Belt under John Whitman, 5th Degree Back Belt and founder of Krav Maga Alliance. In the Winter of 2012, with the help of his staff, Mike expanded the sucessful Krav Maga Desoto to Oakland, TN and East Memphis. In spite of a very busy schedule Mike still finds time for his own training and currently cross trains in Jiujitsu, Wrestling, and Taekwondo.
