Our Staff of Black Belts & Instructors
While other schools in Billings may "teach Krav Maga," ours actually has certified instructors who have achieved legitimate rank in a recognized system and have also met the qualifications to be an instructor. You won't find that in other local schools. You also won't find the number of certified Black Belts and high level students we've developed.
Dennis Forleo - Lead Instructor
USKMA 3rd Degree Black Belt & Law Enforcement Instructor Dennis has been involved in many different martial art styles since 1985. He started in Taekwondo and reached a 4th Degree Black Belt in that style. He has also studied Japanese Ju Jitsu and reached a 6th Degree Black Belt in that style. He is a 7th Degree Black Belt in Chi-Tu Do and also an 8th Degree in Kabaroan Eskrima. He has been teaching for over 35 years and has taught people from age 4 to age 80. He was promoted to 3rd Degree Black Belt in Krav Maga on October 7, 2022. |
Leslie Dunaway - Co-Lead Instructor
USKMA 2nd Degree Black Belt & Law Enforcement Instructor Leslie began her journey in Krav Maga after having her son in martial arts for a couple of years. She has quickly grown into an outstanding instructor and teaches regularly in both the Krav Maga and Chi-Tu Do programs. She gets charged up by seeing her students succeed in Krav and in life. She successfully tested for 2nd Degree Black Belt in March 2021. Leslie leads the free women's self-defense classes that we teach monthly. |
