Here at Kojo we believe in Hishtadlus along with Ein Od Milvado. Yes, Hashem runs the world but we don't cross a busy street with a blindfold on.
I am a firm believer in everyone having the ability to defend themselves and their loved ones, by whatever means. Be it martial arts, boxing, or owning and training to use firearms in a safe and legal manner.
Nowadays, and really throughout all of Jewish history, it is akin to living with a lake in your backyard and not knowing how to swim.
Why choose Kojo? Besides for learning discipline, focus and building your confidence, in a frum environment with frum male and female instructors; we offer a practical, applicable approach to self defense.
While the classes may seem simple, remember, simple isn't always easy. We will push you and challenge you.
Hope to see you soon. And remember: we don't start fights. WE END THEM!
Welcome to kojo! My name is Mordechai Holder or as the students call me Sensei. I've studied various styles of Martial arts for over 10 years but fell in love with krav maga and that is the core of what I teach. I opened Kojo in 2019.
I firmly believe everyone should know how to defend themselves and their loved ones. Be it MMA, jiu-jitsu and/or owning and knowing how to operate firearms in a safe and legal manner, I want everyone to have the ability to protect themselves and those around them. There's a quote i heard and I apply to martial arts training " I'd rather have it and not need it, then need it and not have it "
One of the reasons why I felt so drawn to Krav Maga is because of what the premise is. Body mechanics. You don't have to be in good shape ( though the better shape you're in, the better you will do) anyone can do it. It's not fancy, it's not flashy. It's direct and to the point. Now remember, simple doesn't mean easy.
Martial arts is amazing for building confidence, working on hand eye coordination and teaches you discipline and control. Not just control of your body, but of your mind and emotions. Martial arts can help you realize, that with focus and determination, there's not much that can stop you.
Kojo has been life-changing for our daughter! She counts down the days until each class and comes home beaming with confidence. The skills she’s learning—strength, coordination, teamwork, and discipline—go far beyond each class. She feels empowered, encouraged, and, most importantly, believes in herself. As her parents, it’s incredible to watch her grow, knowing she is gaining not just physical strength but also the confidence to handle any situation.
Kojo makes me believe I could do things I never thought possible. It helps me believe in myself. It’s challenging and fun and when I get it, I feel really proud of myself!
Training at Kojo has been an amazing experience. The instructor and assistants are really knowledgeable and help every student reach their full potential. The classes are challenging but incredibly rewarding, offering a perfect blend of practical self-defense techniques and full-body conditioning. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn self-defense in a supportive Frum environment!
Eliyahu loves Kojo! He isn’t the most coordinated or disciplined but mordechai has a knack for keeping him focused while making the classes so much fun. Eliyahu looks forward to going every week and can’t wait to get back and break another “black board”. He’s beaming with pride over accomplishing something difficult!
"It’s great but difficult. I love it. I come home sweaty. It’s hard work but it’s geshmak."
-Eliyahu
“Mordechai’s Krav Maga class is an amazing place to learn practical self-defense while building skill and confidence. His teaching style is a great balance of technique and confidence building, making every session both engaging and a lot of fun. He breaks down complex moves in a way that makes them feel natural, effective and easy to understand and master. Our group has become a warm and fun place to come learn real ways to protect ourselves and others, while having a good time.”
