Steve Sulze - Head Instructor\Coach
Steve Sulze

Head Instructor

Steve was born and raised in St. Louis, he has always been involved in sports and physical activities outside of his career in IT, he had tried a few different martial arts when he was younger but felt many of the systems were not very realistic and intense as he had wanted.  He has been involved with competitive weight lifting and physical training since Highschool and has trained numerous athletes. 

When Steve saw a segment on the local news about Krav Maga in 2004, he went in the next day to try it out, and was hooked.  It was exactly what he had been looking for to compliment weight lifting and an overall great workout while also learning self defense. 

After training for 6 months, he was invited to start training to become a Krav Maga instructor. He trained for 3 years with Sam Sade who is one of the top Krav Maga Worldwide instructors along with 4 time Golden Glove boxing & kickboxing coach Kevin Bozada - who was inducted into the St. Louis boxing hall of fame in 2008, and Bas Rutten.
Steve often travels to Krav Maga Regional Training Center's across the country to train with some of the top Krav Maga & MMA experts in the world.

Chris Ruland - Krav Maga Instructor
Chris Ruland

Instructor


Chris has spent his life working outdoors in the landscape industry and loving physical activity.  His passions include raising his children, mountain biking, hiking, fitness, guitar and Krav Maga.  Other than raising his children, Krav Maga is by far his favorite activity.  He first started his training in early 08 and was addicted right away.  From the start, he put in at least three to seven hours a week training.  He instantly fell for the highly effective, no nonsense, train under stress approach to Self Defense.  

As an instructor he will consistently motivate students to excel in fitness, mental awareness, and the mastering of techniques & combatives so students will be prepared to deal with any violent physical encounter if and when one should happen. 
 
Chris has been privileged to be able to train under instructors who are true to the principles and goals of Krav Maga Worldwide.  Instructors who have been trained by the best and were willing to pass on what they had learned.  He has recently begun MMA and Jiu-Jitsu training with Brian Mitchell and Danny O'Connor and because of these guys, has a new respect for ground fighting. 
 
He has also attended seminars with Sam Sade- Lead Krav Maga Worldwide Instructor and Jon Pascal- Director of FORCE Training Division for Krav Maga Worldwide.

Ronnie Cruz Krav Maga Instructor
Ronnie Cruz

Instructor

Ronnie was born and raised in Uvalde, Texas. He is currently a recruiter for the United States Army.

His military career began in February 2001 when he enlisted as a Medical Laboratory Specialist. He provided medical support during one tour of duty in Baghdad, Iraq from 2008-2009. He is Level 1 certified for the Modern Army Combatives Program, Krav Maga Phase A Instructor certified, and Fit to Fight Phase A certified.

His training began in hand-to-hand combat 10 years ago in the United States Army. During that time it has evolved into the Modern Army Combative Program offered today which draws from systems such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Muay Thai, Boxing and Eskrima. He has been able to help many people throughout his military career and have also been fortunate enough to have received top of the line training in all areas of being a Soldier. It was because of his training in hand-to-hand combat that he became very interested in the subject. Ronnie entered a few tournaments based on the Army Combatives Program and achieved an Amateur Record of 5-1.

Ronnies interest in Krav Maga began while watching a documentary, and because of the Law Enforcement and Military links. He had been looking for a no nonsense place to train that still had a focus on helping people develop in all areas of fighting.
As a Soldier I must know how to fight and continue to seek further training because my life depends on it. I have found my place at Xtreme Krav Maga, and have had the opportunity to train & learn here since 2010.

My classes focus on good technique, working hard, and having fun with an ultimate goal of providing the tools to succeed in real life situations.  I hear a phrase often and I truly believe in it,” It is better to know it and not need it, than to need it and not know it”… Don’t be a victim.

Jeremy Koerper

Instructor


Jeremy was Born and raised in St.Louis Mo. he is currently a college student at St.Louis community college.
He joined the Missouri Army National Guard in 2006 as combat support military police. Served 1 tour of duty in Iraq from 2008 - 2009 and he is currently working towards his United States Army combative Level 1 Certification.

During basic training in the army I was introduced to the United States Army combatives. I enjoyed learning martial arts combatives so much that when I got out of basic training I looked for a martial art school that I could learn everything that would apply to a realistic situation. I started out in Shodo Kan Karate and later went into Mixed Martial Arts acheiving an Ameteur MMA record of 1-1.

I then set out to find a realistic self defense & fighting system that would cover everything from ground fighting to weapon defenses, which led me to Krav Maga. From all of this training I have become a well rounded fighter, dedicated student as well as an instructor eager to learn more everyday to advance in the Krav Maga Worldwide System and help students achieve their goals.
