Ericka Howard

I have over 22 years of martial arts experience. After over 8 years of training and a black belt in the shorinru style I realized that I needed to study a more practical and applicable style of self defense and been training in Krav Maga since 2000.

?In addition to being a NESTA and ISSA certified personal trainer, over the past 14 years I have achieved a student level second-degree black belt in addition to my instructor level black belt certification (she is currently one of only 12 women worldwide to have achieved this level of certification within the Krav Maga Worldwide system) and has taught both kids and adults nationwide.

Along with Krav Maga I have also trained Brazilian Jiujitsu and am in the process of working towards a black belt in that style as well. I have been involved in all aspects of running a martial arts school starting when I was 17 years old and have been featured in the news, participated in all sorts of tournaments, shows, seminars and special events over the years. Krav Maga is my passion and I loves empowering others through their training.

Hello Mr John,

First of all let me just say that we all love coming here!!!!! The staff is amazing!!!! Every single one!!!!! Coming in thru the doors having Ana or Travis greet us seriously makes us feel welcomed. Thank you! I love the patience, the dedication, and the motivation everyone has and gives these children. Mr. Davis is something else! So much fun, kids are learning so much from him, and of course Mr. Nick is amazing as well. Our 2 boys love it! They have learned so much and still learning of course.  I know if it were up to them they would go every day! They practice so hard at home, and are always excited to learn more! I see the change in them. They are more confident, more outgoing, not as shy as they used to be. We went to their first testing and it was definitely something else! To see the dedication these kids have. Our Boys loved it! They worked really hard to earn their belt. These experiences will stay with them and I know they will help our kids as they grow. It's fun for them but at the same time they know that this training can save them as well. Thank you so much! Again the staff is just incredible!!!! We very happy we chose Krav!

If you want to bring out the BEST in your kid, this is the place! Not only do they teach incredible self defense skills, it's an all around positive way to approach real life skills. My son is doing much better in school & following through at home, he loves the training & has met new friends with similar values. They also have to do well in school & at home in order to gain their achievement to the next belt level. They even instruct different scenarios for the kids to learn respect, courtesy, honesty, integrity - a new theme each month. The kids really look up to the instructors, it's the MOST POSITIVE activity that I can recommend to parents looking for their kids to thrive. And, it's during the week, no weekends (only for test days). My son has dramatically transitioned from being bullied to being very confident & how to handle situations better. He's even said, "I feel so much better at school now when kids are mean - I know how to brush it off, and defend myself, even verbally." LOVE LOVE LOVE Try it out today!!!!!

My wife and I couldn’t be more happy with west coast Krav Maga. The staff is amazing and great with our kids. I highly recommend them over any other martial arts studio.
