Krav Maga at Active Acorns

The Fall Session of the Active Acorns welcomed local Krav Maga instructor Scott King for a return visit. His presentation is always very popular with the students. At this session, the Acorns learned about Trick or Treat safety awareness tips, in addition to other self defense techniques. Many thanks to Scott and his wife Kat for visiting the Active Acorns again.     October 2017
