Bryan brings a fourth-degree black belt in Kempo-Karate, a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and instructor certifications from Atlas Krav Maga, Krav Maga Alliance, and Fit to Fight. He is joined by a diverse team of coaches with backgrounds in Krav Maga, Muay Thai, Kempo-Karate, fitness, and wrestling, each contributing their own expertise to the academy’s varied curriculum. Classes at Krav Maga Roanoke are structured to blend practical self-defense, striking, and fitness.
