Introduction

As a black belt in Jiu Jitsu and a Krav Maga instructor, teaching self defense and a healthy lifestyle is my passion. I will create customized self defense and fitness plans to help you achieve your goals. Instruction covers basic self defense concepts such as -Combatives(punches, kicks, knees, takedowns, elbows ect.) -Ground grappling(chokes, arm bars, various submissions) -Boxing combos (striking, slips, catches, rolls) A vital portion of training is cardio health, so be prepared for a good workout! Lessons taught at a Fort Myers gym or at your home! I am also available for seminars. I have done small sessions with families or friends as well as a church camp for 50 girls. And one of my favorites, a Krav Maga birthday party! Send me a message to begin your martial arts and self defense journey!

Leah was very thorough, I hired her for an RV park self defense class and she came on time and explained everything in detail. She then showed us some techniques if someone was to attack you from the back and front and many other valuable techniques. I would highly recommend her!

We will continue with my daughters private lessons. Leah is informative and knowledgeable. Great experience! Plus she got there before us which in today’s society is a rarity. Extremely punctual! Respects people’s time which is one of my pet peeves lol. There’s a list you have no idea lol. Back to Leah, she is great, welcoming, and capable. Will be returning with bells on lol.

Leah was fantastic and very easy to work with. She taught a self defence class for 50 teenage girls and kept all of them engaged and informed. She is kind and very welcome. All of the girls loved the class. She was also willing to work around our schedule and come to our building. I highly recommend her. Thank you Leah!

I took my first private lesson with Leah and she was excellent! She explained and demonstrated everything first and then instructed me. I loved the experience and will be returning for more. I’m so happy to have found her.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Finding out their fitness goals and nutrition goals. Coming up with a schedule and plan to attain said goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
8 years of Krav Maga and Boxing fitness, 7 years of Jiu Jitsu training. Previous middle school teacher, music teacher for 12 years.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I took a Krav Maga class with my brother and was instantly hooked. I didn’t want to try Jiu Jitsu, but my mom was interested and dragged me to a class. After my first jiu jitsu class I could only ask myself, “Why haven’t I been doing this my whole life?!” And now I want to teach as many people as I can all that I have learned.
