Marcus Kowal on Strikeforce Live
Krav Maga Worldwide black belt instructor Marcus Kowal will be fighting on the Strikeforce Live card tomorrow night, June 16th. From the Strikeforce website, it looks like the fight may be on the undercard, so it may not be televised on Showtime.
Danelle and I saw a glimpse of Marcus’ power and explosiveness as one of our Phase A instructors. And that was two years ago. He’s since been training professionally with the likes of Febricio Werdum, who fights none other than Fedor on June 26th.
Marcus relates Krav Maga and MMA on his blog:
This is the main difference yet similarity between Krav Maga and MMA:
I’m preparing for a battle—the battle that we at Krav Maga Worldwide hope to be able to avoid. Yet, I’m doing everything I can to prepare so that I can go home safe.
Here’s Marcus’ tongue-in-cheek prediction for the fight:
One Minute with Marcus: Prediction for his fight on June 16th
Good luck, Marcus!
Phase B: Boo-Boos Aplenty!
Danelle and I attended the Krav Maga Worldwide Phase B course in Columbia, MD May 15-21. It was a tough 7 days of intense training 8 hrs/day, but I would like to think our technical and teaching skills improved precisely because of our many dings and dents! We learned so much from the course instructors (Pete Hardy, Jeff Mount, and Michael Margolin) and our peers, and we’re very excited to share the knowledge with the Academy.
(And one more time for the record, I wasn’t the cause of Danelle’s awesome Pete the Pup shiner!)
Gun Defense Video Extravaganza

Amir Perets on Inside MMA
Krav Maga Worldwide’s Amir Perets was on HDNET’s "Inside MMA" (co-hosted by Bas Rutten) last week talking about Krav and his recent appearance on National Geographic’s Fight Science. He makes some very salient points about self-defense and about the overlap of Krav Maga and MMA.
