Triumph Martial Arts Instructors earn 4th Dan Black Belt.
June 2024 – Triumph Martial Arts is proud to announce that owners and lead instructors, Matt and Chris White, have recently achieved the esteemed rank of 4th Dan Black Belt in Krav Maga. This honor was conferred upon them during the International Martial Arts & Self-Defense Expo and Hall of Fame, hosted by Krav Maga Expert, Master Greg Dziewonski.
This prestigious event featured a rigorous three-day advanced level instructor course led by Master Alain Cohen, a 6th Dan Krav Maga Black Belt and co-founder of the official Israeli Krav Maga program at the Wingate Institute in Israel. Master Cohen is renowned worldwide for his expertise and contribution to the discipline of Krav Maga.
The intensive course encompassed a wide array of advanced techniques, including hand-to-hand combat, knife defense, gun disarms, and defense against various weapons. Additionally, participants honed their ground survival skills. The grueling training and examination process tested not only their physical techniques but also their stamina and mental fortitude.
Matt and Chris White’s achievement places them among the highest-ranking KMF-AC Krav Maga Instructors in the United States. Their dedication to their craft and commitment to excellence in martial arts are evident in this significant accomplishment.
Chris White, who is also the Director of Women’s Programs and a child development expert at Triumph Martial Arts, stated, “This achievement is a testament to our dedication to lifelong learning and our commitment to providing the highest quality of martial arts and self-defense instruction to our students.”
Matt White echoed her sentiments, adding, “The knowledge and skills we have gained from this course will greatly enhance our ability to train and empower our students in self-defense and personal safety.”
