Meet Your Instructor: Arielle Kantor 🥊
Who you train with matters…
Self-defense training requires trust. You’re allowing someone into your personal space, practicing uncomfortable scenarios, learning how to respond under pressure, and sometimes confronting situations that feel very real.
Arielle doesn’t take that responsibility lightly.
She has trained in Krav Maga since 2007 and has spent years continuing her education in self-defense, striking, and real-world violence prevention. But credentials and technique are only part of what makes someone a good instructor.
Arielle cares deeply about creating training where womxn feel respected, heard, challenged, and safe.
You never have to “tough it out” through a boundary being crossed to learn self-defense. You’re allowed to ask questions. You’re allowed to say no. You’re allowed to modify a drill. And you deserve an instructor who takes your concerns seriously.
Hercules Krav Maga is Arielle’s independently owned and operated program.
Her goal is simple: teach you practical skills that make you harder to hurt while building the confidence to trust yourself.
If you’ve wanted to learn self-defense but have felt hesitant, intimidated, or unsure whether you’d feel comfortable walking into a martial arts environment, message us. You can talk with Arielle before you ever step onto the mat.
You deserve to feel comfortable with the person teaching you how to protect yourself🖤🏳️🌈🩶
