Owners James and Shannon Hiromasa have been teaching Krav Maga in Colorado for over 25 years and were the first to bring Krav Maga to Colorado in 1997. They are described as the original Krav Maga training centers in Colorado and have offered kids classes for ages 3 to 13, Youth Krav Maga for ages 4 to 12, and Teen Krav Maga for ages 13 to 17. Colorado Krav Maga states that it is a one-stop-shop for self-defense, self-protection, fitness, and conditioning, and its training can be brought to groups anywhere in the world, including customized corporate and group seminars.
James is an active Subject Matter Expert for the State of Colorado for Law Enforcement Training, and Shannon trains elected officials on safety and awareness. James, Shannon, and their staff were the first Krav Maga instructors with certifications from Wingate, Israel, and are among the only certified Senior Instructors from Wingate in Colorado, with only a handful in the USA. The organization is court certified and state recognized for self-defense, and its staff includes SWAT and agency instructors, Subject Matter Experts, and Court Certified Experts on civilian and law enforcement teams. Over the years they have trained thousands of first responders in Colorado and across the USA, and they also offer women’s self-defense with limited space, as well as arrest control and defensive tactics agency instructor certifications and security team training for law enforcement.
Parent and student feedback includes comments that Colorado Krav Maga is “an actual learning environment” with instructors who have “a great attitude” and an expectation that students respect each other. One parent reports that his daughter looks forward to going to class and describes the instructors as friendly, helpful, and having great energy. Another testimonial describes the program as “straight to the point self defense training” that includes techniques for real world situations from day one and notes that it is also used for general strength and fitness.
