Summer has been a dedicated student of Krav Maga and the Combat Fit "Close Quarter Combatives Program" since 2001, training under the guidance of her husband and training partner, Bruce.
Summer's desire to learn and sustain practical protection techniques has guided her into teaching others these life enhancing skills, especially to those who often need it the most – children. Hence, in early 2006, Summer became a certified radKIDS instructor and began teaching the radKIDS safety program independently. The innovative curriculum of radKIDS allows Summer to interact with children in a playful but professional manner, as they learn about the dangers of guns, drugs, poisons, bullies, and predators. This exceptional family oriented and nationally recognized children's safety program covers many critical topics that are delicately covered by Summer.
Her instructional skills are also enhanced by her teaching experience as a Salsa Latin Dance Instructor. Her patience and her use of versatile teaching methods makes her students, whether they are learning Salsa or self-defense, feel comfortable, confident and well informed.
