(Chelsea Update would like to thank Rebecca Trester for the information in this story.)
Two local students — one from Manchester and one from Chelsea — recently received their level of Commando Krav Maga student certification.
Noah Kizer of Chelsea and Wendy Lineweaver of Manchester successfully earned their Student Level 1 Certificates in Commando Krav Maga (CKM), which is a reality-based, self-defense system developed by Moni Aizik, a former Israeli Special Forces Commando.
Kizer and Lineweaver have been training under Level 5 CKM Instructor, Mike Trester at Commando Krav Maga Chelsea.
Qualifications for completing each CKM level involves demonstrating verbal de-escalation skills when confronted with an adverse situation and performing a variety of self defense techniques in order to survive life-threatening scenarios. They include chokes, hand-to-hand attacks, knife and gun disarming, and ground survival.
There are 8 levels of student certificates and each level offers more advance techniques as they progress.
