Nina has intensively trained in Krav Maga since 2002. She is one of the few high rank female Krav Maga Instructors in the United States to be certified by Tactica Krav Maga Institute, Krav Maga Global and International Krav Maga Federation. While searching for a means of self-defense, she came across Krav Maga and loved the practicality the system teaches for living in a modern day world. After excelling in the system she began sparring in boxing and kickboxing to broaden her skills. Nina earned her M.A. and B.A. degrees in Psychology and became a certified personal fitness trainer to compliment her Krav Maga training. This has influenced her unique style of teaching Krav Maga in a straight forward approach by integrating the psychological and physical aspects that are involved with learning self defense and fighting.
