Meet The Sensei
Welcome to kojo! My name is Mordechai Holder or as the students call me Sensei. I've studied various styles of Martial arts for over 10 years but fell in love with krav maga and that is the core of what I teach. I opened Kojo in 2019.
My goal is simple. I firmly believe everyone should know how to defend themselves and their loved ones. Be it MMA, jiu-jitsu and/or owning and knowing how to operate firearms in a safe and legal manner, I want everyone to have the ability to protect themselves and those around them. There's a quote i heard and I apply to martial arts training " I'd rather have it and not need it, then need it and not have it "
One of the reasons why I felt so drawn to Krav Maga is because of what the premise is. Body mechanics. You don't have to be in good shape ( though the better shape you're in, the better you will do) anyone can do it. It's not fancy, it's not flashy. It's direct and to the point. Now remember, simple doesn't mean easy.
Martial arts is amazing for building confidence, working on hand eye coordination and teaches you discipline and control. Not just control of your body, but of your mind and emotions. Martial arts can help you realize, that with focus and determination, there's not much that can stop you.
