Master Solomon Benjamin

“All this has created a great conflict within me, for if I cannot use my skill to protect myself from any person who walks in off the street and demands a fight, how can I hope my students will retain confidence in my ability to teach them this skill? And yet, if I use my skill and hurt someone, even in self-defense, have I not betrayed the spirit of what martial arts is all about?”
– Grand Master HEE IL CHO (Master Solomon studied with the grand master 1977-1980.)

Has it been a smooth road?
Owning a martial arts school has it’s challenges. On one hand I am a Master teaching the students to improve and progress. O the other hand you are a business and have to stay in business. Krav Maga SMA was est. in 1990 and just celebrated it’s 27th year.
