“Krav Maga has been around since the 1930’s, but people are just now starting to learn of it as self-defense becomes more of a priority, and as they see many celebrities use it for training purposes,” said Derrek Hofrichter, founder and chief instructor of East Valley Krav Maga.

The new Tempe studio now offers kickboxing as one of their cardio workout as well as a lineup of different levels of Krav Maga classes that focus on the Krav Maga style of self defense.
