Sarah moved to the UK from America in 2010, and having always wanted to try Krav Maga, realised there was a class just up the road. She came in with little experience in martial arts but immediately knew she found her passion. After many years of being a student, Sarah completed the Kids Instructor Course in 2015, opening up the first kids and junior classes in 2016 which are still running today. She went on to complete the full Civilian Instructor Course in 2018, achieving not only her full teaching qualification, but also achieved her Graduate Level 1 in the process. Sarah now teaches children and junior level classes, as well as adult and women’s self-defence programs in the Midlands.
