Why Our Phoenix Krav Maga And Fitness Program Works
Phoenix Krav Maga and Fitness is not a fight club, it's about protecting yourself when an attack happens. Our approach incorporates Krav Maga's principles, a mixed-martial art and combative self-defense system putting great emphasis on continuous motion, attacks to an assailant's soft spots (pressure points), and simultaneous defense and attack. Krav Maga's goal is for success regardless of experience, age, gender, or physical ability.
Krav Maga's basic principle is to inflict as much pain to your attacker to end the attack as soon as possible and GET AWAY safely. To do that, we use a cardio-based training format, building muscle memory, strength, power, flexibility, stamina, endurance, and more!
Who's behind Phx Krav Fit
About Stephanie Numrich
Stephanie Numrich has always had a passion for educating youth. She graduated from Concordia University Chicago with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in Psychology. She taught for over 15 years in both the private and public school arenas. She taught gifted to special ed classes within those 15 years at both the Elementary to Jr. High to High School levels.
As she began her journey with Krav Maga, she realized how important it was to teach youth this specialized self-defense system. She became a certified instructor in Krav Maga under USKMA. She saw how the need for confidence and self-worth were vital ways to beat bullying and other school related incidents. She saw how Krav Maga could offer both ways to boost confidence as well as tools to defend one's self if an altercation should arise. She authored the entire youth program for the USKMA.
As numbers continue to rise for sexual abuse and human trafficking, Stephanie also began to pour her efforts into finding ways to keep children safe by recognizing danger, evading it, and if need be escaping it. She helped write the Kid's Spy manual and began doing seminars for children to teach them ways to keep themselves safe.
About Matt Numrich
Matthew Numrich is a natural leader and teacher. He graduated from Concordia Univeristy Chicago with a Bachelor's Degree in Clinical Psychology and a Master's Degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. In the beginning, he began studying marital arts and training under Sifu Paul Vunak (under Guru Dan Inosanto) in Bruce Lees's art of Jeet Kune Do. He founded his own studio in the Chicago suburbs shortly after being certified as one of only a handful of Full Instructors of JKD and the Filipino Martial Arts.
He also holds a Certified Executive Instructor position under Progressive Fighting Systems, which is the "crème de la crème" in functional Jeet Kune Do. Mr. Numrich has also had the pleasure of training with some of the other elite JKD instructors such as Sifu Larry Hartsell (original student of Bruce Lee) and Thomas Cruse (past instructor of the Navy Seals).
Mr. Numrich has written a manuscript on JKD, in addition to over one hundred articles in US and international marital arts magazines and combat newsletters. In 2001, he completed the first JKD on DVD instructional series, which is now distributed around the world. Mr. Numrich was used as a public media resource after the attacks of 9/11, in addition to running several out of state seminars. In late 2003, he was invited to teach instructors of the Federal Air Marshal's Chicago O'Hare office. Since then he has been contracted out and worked with everyone from the US Army to Navy, the ATF and numerous law enforcement agencies.
However, he is most proud of the fact that he has personally taught and trained over 7,000 civilians of different backgrounds, athletic abilities, ages and sizes on how to protect themselves while getting in the best shape of their lives. Now heading up his school in Northern Phoenix, he still teaches all of the adult classes, while his wife Stephanie, a certified instructor, teaches all of the youth classes.
