After training for years in Kung Fu and attaining a Second Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, Louis decided to pursue his desire to learn a system of self-defense, which concentrates on practical, real world situations. While practicing martial arts in many forms, Louis realized that none of the systems that he had trained in dealt very effectively with simple defenses against weapons, especially guns. After some research into a practical and efficient system of self-defense, Louis discovered Krav Maga. Krav-Maga is a revolutionary system of the Israeli Military hand-to-hand combat. It is considered by many experts to be one of the most devastating martial systems taught to the civilian quarter, and is based upon the arts taught to the elite Israeli Commando units. Louis felt that Krav Maga was a system best suited to deal with the ever-changing realities of the streets. He felt most systems never evolved to deal with the current trends and tactics of today’s predator aggressors. Louis’s study of Krav Maga showed him that the system would prepare a person for true street combat situations. Louis Charron earned his Level 3 Commando Krav Maga Instructors Certificate in April of 2009. Louis is also a Certified Instructor with the tactical defense weapon the Alpha Hornet.
