Bio
Christina Kouris
Ivan is personable, hard-working, and works diligently with his students. Ivan also makes every effort to get to know parents, to help him gain better insight of his student's strengths and weaknesses. I have always admired his special gift of knowing when to have his "game-face" on, and when to ease back, showing his students that he cares about their success. I would highly recommend Ivan, as his martial arts expertise is evident throughout his studio. Respectfully, Christina Kouris

Ivan Kravitz is a god send ! SEAL's are very good at shooting guns and blowing things up, not at quickbooks, budgets, cutting cost here , not compromising there , etc.... What Ivan has accomplished in less than 2 quarters , should have taken at least a year . Ivan is the most organized , reliable, squared away person i know . Ivan has literally taken himself back to school ! his work ethic and drive does not allow him , or anything he is associated with , to be AVERAGE. Myself and the other SEAL's are reminded daily, how fortunate and lucky we are to have someone like Ivan in our corner. His attention to detail is outstanding, his ability to retain information and somehow translate it into SEAL Language , is un-heard of. Every company needs someone like Ivan , in order to get to that next level. -Lalo Roberti

Ivan's credentials speak for themselves. He is a practitioner of his craft. Taking classes at Navy Seal Academy gave me a front row seat at what he does best. He is a great teacher, an organizer. He understands your needs quickly and communicates how he can work with you. He is a natural leader, gathering individual strengths into a team. His leadership, drive and commitment is evident in the way his team works. They walk the talk which translates into a class experience like no other, and definitely something you look forward to repeating. He effortlessly switches hats from teacher to a business-savvy, forward thinking COO who spot opportunities and turns them into long term strategic relationships. Beyond these traits, Ivan is a genuine, caring patriot. That alone is worth anyone's time and attention.

Defensive Tactics Instructor

Jan 2007 - Present
G.R.A.C.I.E™ is the defensive tactics and weapons retention course created by the legendary Royce Gracie, 3-Time Ultimate Fighting Champion. Royce earned his title by defeating his opponents using Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, proving the effectiveness of leverage and technique over strength and size. Royce has incorporated these defensive tactics into a comprehensive training course specifically designed for law enforcement. Like many skills, defensive tactics are perishable, therefore the G.R.A.C.I.E™ program teaches simple and automatic, rapid yet smooth actions. The G.R.A.C.I.E™ program is the "only" defensive tactics program that truly gets officers to properly defend their weapons in any and all altercations.
