Does anyone know anything about the Houston Krav Maga scene? I saw some Crossfit school offering Krav called Fight Back Fit with a girl named Jeanna Cournoyer. I’ve asked around and have heard some pretty mixed reviews about her program. Can anyone shed some light? Thanks.

Re: Houston Krav Maga

There are several great Krav schools/programs in the Houston area.. and Fight Back Fit with Jeanna Cournoyer is not one of them. For one, she is a blue belt, and isn’t qualified. Secondly, she nearly flunked her Phase A training! I would recommend Houston Krav Maga, or Commando Krav. Although Houston Krav Maga has a way better facility, and much better Trainers, who have been doing Krav Maga for way longer. Hope this helps! Goodluck

Re: Houston Krav Maga

houstondude – thanks for the feedback…yeah i was kinda hearing the same thing you said. i did hear that Commando Krav Maga sucks….there is no QC for instructors and it doesnt seem to have any support system. Houston krav Maga seems to be where i am headed. Thanks again.

Re: Houston Krav Maga

Sure! Ya, Commando Krav in my opinion doesn’t have the highest caliber Krav training I have experienced.. which is why I recommended Houston Krav Maga — In my post below.

I used to train with Jeanna Cournoyer at Krav Maga Houston! I haven’t spoken to anyone on that end in some time, what happened to Jeanna? She was really involved with the HKM program, does anyone know why?

I asked around and the instructors at KMH said she was no longer involved and wished her well. Seems to be the standard line…….instructors won’t say anything else, so u don’t have to be a PI to know she left on ugly terms. Whatever…..KMH is still the only place to train in Houston that’s worth a s#%t. The new facility in Spring is gonna be sick!!!

I just signed up as a Charter Member for the new Northside Location in Houston….and its near where i live so even better….. Kravwarrior…you are right…it is sick! Its like 25,000 square feet or something and is going to have home invasion training, an airplane fuselage for terrorist training, has a massive bag room for like 100 heavy bags, kettle bells, 2 or 3 Krav Maga rooms….and on and on….I am soooo stoked! Thanks for the advice on here. Cant wait till that place opens. There are pics on their facebook page at Krav Maga Houston….out.

mara_jade – i have trained a Pete’s place on several occasions and its great. He has done a great job in San Antonio. Houston is really looking forward to having a large Krav Maga center as well. From what i hear, its not open yet and they are selling Charter Memberships like crazy…Looking forward to next time in SA…..Missed training with Jeff Jimmo this past weekend for the F2F stuff….he is awesome!

Re: Houston Krav Maga

Yes – Regarding Jeanna Cournoyer, I do not believe that he left on the most amicable terms. Its hilarious that she is actually now an actual Instructor, being that she has barely any experience!

That’s awesome!! I heard about the bigger facility, but I had no idea that it was going to have that level of awesomeness. Where exactly is the new krav maga houston facility located? Thanks for the info GD

Re: Houston Krav Maga

sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The new Krav Maga Houston facility opened yesterday for their first Krav Maga classes. There were 61 Krav students in the L1 class! The training room is large enough to hold twice that! This place is sick! Its located in Spring, Texas off I-45 North. The exact address is 22820 I-45 North, Spring, Texas 77373
(On feeder rd. North b/w 2920 and Hardy Toll Rd.) I think you take the Spring/Stubener exit coming from downtown. You cant miss it. There is a huge banner hanging on the side of the building that says Krav Maga. Hope this helps. Go check it out! Its awesome. Its open. Its cool. LOL.

Re: Houston Krav Maga

I have trained with CJ Kirk and the Krav Maga Houston crew for over 3.5 years. They are all first class Humans and Krav Maga Instructors. CJ has built the finest Krav schools in Houston over the past decade. The most recent Krav Maga Houston location in Spring is awesome. It is over 20,000 square feet with FIVE training rooms, etc..a CrossFit box, airplane fuselage, two bedroom apartment (coming), etc…His credentials are unrivaled in Houston. His instructors are unrivaled. If you want good Krav Maga in Houston….go to Krav Maga Houston. Period. Thanks.
