Awareness, Confidence and Power – Strike Krav Maga teaches us size, strength and age don’t matter

by | Nov 22, 2016 | Health & Fitness

 From a young age Strike Krav Maga co-owner Bonnie Formia learned that self-defense was a must.  After two devastating attacks in her youth, Bonnie knew it was time to take a stand against the violence she had seen in her own life and through so many news outlets in our nation.  For the past 20 years, Bonnie has educated herself and honed her craft including NASM personal trainer certification, ISSA personal trainer certification, AFPA pre/post natal certification, TRX group training certification and Krav Maga Level 1 instructor certification.
“We opened our doors in 2014, offering premier self-defense training in Krav Maga. We provide group classes in self-defense and fitness to hundreds of clients wanting to become safer and increase their fitness.” said Bonnie Formia, Strike Krav Maga owner. “One of our primary goals is for women to leave class not only physically stronger, but mentally stronger to face any potential danger.”
Krav Maga is a fighting system developed and used by the Israeli Defense Force. It combines street fighting, jiu-jitsu, aikido, boxing, and military training. It is gaining popularity because it doesn’t rely on size, physical strength, or age to bring down an attacker.  Instead it focuses on weak and vulnerable areas.  It is the most practical and fastest-growing self-defense system in the United States used by hundreds of law enforcement agencies and military units.
Strike prides themselves on having reality-based training that simulates real life confrontations. They don’t incorporate any techniques or training methods unless they are effective and practical for everyday situations.
“We’ve spent a great deal of time, energy, and effort perfecting exercises that help develop an aggressive fighting spirit without sacrificing student safety,” says co-owner John Formia.
And their members agree!  John and Bonnie receive testimonials all the time.
