DAVID DAVIS
David is a native of San Diego. After High school, he joined the Army as an infantry man where he would later spend twelve months on a combat tour in Iraq. David would receive a combat infantry badge and purple heart for fighting. After completing his military duty he graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in Political Science.
David started training in martial arts in high school as a wrestler. During college he trained in Muay Thai for several years, and has also trained at some of the top MMA schools in San Diego. After David’s first Krav Maga class it was a clear match for his mindset in training. Krav Maga focuses on reality based situations where surviving a violent attack is the most important aspect. After years of training, traveling to Israel, and being certified under several organizations, David now teaches Krav Maga and continues to train on a regular basis.
