Coach Mike Gizzo - NASM Certified Trainer & Krav Maga Instructor
I’ve been involved in martial arts for well over a decade and with the experience I’ve gained from extensive Krav Maga instruction, cross-training in Muay Thai, Boxing, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, as well as the freedom of leading and developing my own self-defense program, the time has come to break away from the pack. Learn more about who I am, my approach to teaching, and how I can help you learn solid self-defense skills here in the city.
