Shelly Johnson (Co-owner of Valley Self-Defense, Civilian, and Women's Self-Defense Instructor) has been training in Krav Maga for 11 years. Shelly was getting bored at the gym and started looking for something that would challenge her physically. Shelly teaches civilian classes at Valley Self-Defense, as well as helping instruct the Kids and women classes and seminars. Shelly achieved the rank of G5 in September 2024. Shelly teaches people Krav Maga to help instill confidence in people's lives, whether walking down the street or standing at the bus stop. It’s important to Shelly that people feel prepared for whatever may happen in their everyday lives. Shelly’s goal is to achieve Kids Krav Maga certification in the future.
