Gary Hodges Jr,

When he heard about Krav Maga he did his best to train in this system but could not find a place to train. He continued learning via tapes and training in MMA. He earned a blue belt in Brazilian Jujitsu from Royce Gracie.

At Dr. Beasley's Karate College he met IKI 2nd dan black belt Perry Gibson. Shortly afterwards he joined IKI and is now training with us. We are proud and honored to have him aboard.
