Our Facility
A PLACE OF RESILENCE & ACCEPTANCE
Our Training center is much more than a place to come and train. It is a place to learn and grow in a tight knit community. We are a family that encourages one another and pushes each other to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually.
To us, training is more than mats on the floors and heavy bags. It is investing in each of our students, individually, in a way that they know their skills can succeed on and off the mats.
PURE CLASSES
ADULTS
ADULTS
Our Adult Krav Maga program challenges you to develop the most key elements for violent situations. We build our curriculum on scenarios taken from surveillance and other real life footage. Because building mental determination is just as important as building muscles and techniques, we incorporate stress and fitness concepts to work with your natural instincts making your defensive tactics more effective. These classes are built on a foundation for striking, movement, fitness and scenario-based training that gives you the best defenses against some of the most common attacks.
KIDS
Our unique children's curriculum teaches skills to diffuse situations, avoid dangerous circumstances, and determine the appropriate defense. Whether it is a bully or stranger scenario, experiencing those topics in a safe and fun environment empowers them to make the right decisions, learn problem solving skills, determination, teamwork, and communication skills.
TEENS
Our teens program focuses on training in a group of peers for added social development and safety. Preteens starting at 11 will develop a foundation that encourages and challenges them to build determination as well as character. Enjoying fitness and community is an important aspect that will carry success from classes into adulthood. Planning now provides better communication, problem solving, and decision making skills far beyond high school and college.
FITNESS
In CombatFit classes, we focus on functional mobility, endurance, strength and coordination. Whether your goal is to build strength, supplement your self defense stamina, or lose weight, we are here to encourage you toward your next goal. We use a combination of body weight and weighted exercises, agility training, mobility and movement drills, and heavy bag striking to complete a unique workout for each class.
Meet the Masters
Tiffini Glinka
Owner & Lead Instructor
Tiffini was selected as a top student while pursuing her first black belt and asked to train to become an instructor. She rose quickly through both ranks simultaneously. When training with Dr. Itay Gil, she chose to pursue and re-certify her black belt and instructor certifications, as well as an academic achievement of Expert Level Instructor. Before Tiffini was an instructor, she served as Program Director for a local Krav Maga studio. There she developed a love for training, instruction and empowering others. Her unique abilities to see small details and improvements while encouraging others towards their goals, are some of skills that make her teaching so effective. As a small female, precision and effective skill are just as important as the momentum and aggression to overcome an attack.
OUR STORY
As a gym, we sought out the best leadership around the world and are in constant pursuit of the best training for ourselves, so that we can give the best-in-class training to our students. Out of this love of giving our best, we met Dr. Itay Gil from Israel. He has over 30 years of experience in military and instructing krav maga. He has been a training captain for the Israeli Anti-terrorism task force called YAMAM. He now devotes his life to teaching all around the world in Krav Maga, personal and VIP protection, law enforcement and civilian self defense under Protect Academy. He is also a Board member of the Federation of Israeli Martial Arts (FIMA). We are proud to teach under his leadership and it truly sets us apart in our technique effectiveness and teaching capabilities.
OUR MISSION is to partner with individuals, families, and our community to make it a safer and stronger place to live and work.
