“From Brussels to San Diego to the nightly and 24 hour news cycle it is indeed normal for people to be on edge”, Joe Corley said, “ and a number of our regular students’ parents and their friends had inquired about a personal gun defense seminar. A serious subject with far reaching ramifications, we covered the preventive methodologies to avoid potential attacks to the determination of when to take action and if one should take action. Then, if it is determined that you must try to disarm your assailant, we covered the attack scenarios from the front, rear and side”.

Krav Maga is the official training regimen taught to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and has become quite popular here in the United States. “We have offered Krav Maga for the past 6 years at our studio”, Joe Corley said. “Parents concerned for their kids going off to college, women insecure in parking garages and men seeking to protect their families in our new world make up the bulk of our Krav students.”

Mike Biorn, Black Belt Instructor and former Naval Officer added, “In our Gun Defense seminars, we stress the absolute need for repeated practice to gain the dexterity and confidence required to maximize your success in these situations, but we explain that the initial thought they put into these initial practice moves raise their  awareness levels and will help them avoid dangerous mistakes.”

“The Krav Maga Gun Defense techniques made a lot of natural sense to me”, reported Lena Tzanov, a mom who had taken martial arts lessons 3 decades earlier as a youth. “ My kids have taken Joe Corley Karate classes for nearly 3 years now, and my husband and I decided we would like to learn more about the Krav Maga techniques. The seminar was very informative, answered a lot of questions and was a lot of fun." Speaking of fun, Lena & Emil mixed defense and romance here!

Joe Corley, 9^th Degree Master Instructor and Black Belt Hall of Famer, is known to Atlantans  for his martial arts competition career, promotion of the annual Battle of Atlanta and production and coverage of PKA Kickboxing television on television.  Master Corley is offering the free Krav Maga Personal Defense Seminars and Gun Defense seminars to college and college prep groups and to Neighborhood, Church and Civic Groups in Atlanta.
