Kirsten ZulyevicKirsten started training in martial arts in 1991 in Taekwondo and opened her first training center in 1999, as a 3rd degree black belt (WTF Kukkiwon). Wile in the process of competing for the Olympic Team Trials in 2000 she began training in the Israeli self-defense system of Krav Maga. At the time this was only the second instructor certification course for Krav Maga Worldwide, making her the only female instructor in the Pacific NW, including Canada and Alaska. Having found what she was looking for with the "nuts and bolts" approach to self-defense that Krav Maga provided, Kirsten left her traditional martial arts behind and focused on Krav Maga.
In early 2011 Krav Maga Oregon was expanded into Salem, OR with the Krav Maga Oregon: Salem location. During this time, Kirsten took a job as a patrol officer with a different agency and moved the Salem location to Junction City in October 2012. In addition to her numerous training accomplishments in service to her community as a police officer, she is a certified Civilian and Law Enforcement Krav Maga Instructor. In 2002 Krav Maga Worldwide Force Training Division Senior Instructor and division head Londale Theuss made her a Lead Instructor for the Krav Maga Worldwide Force Training Division. Kirsten has assisted Jon Pascal (current Head of the Force Training Division) with Krav Maga instructor certification courses for law enforcement. Taught Krav Maga to numerous agencies from; Oregon, Maryland, Washington DC, Idaho, Pennsylvania, and Washington for instructor certification courses. This training was given to parole and probation, patrol, corrections, campus police, and security services. Kirsten continues to provide Krav Maga training in dynamic situations and is on contract to teach all levels of defensive tactics training to local law enforcement. She has been assigned as head of agency firearms programs, defensive tactics program, and agency training. Kirsten is the only female instructor to be certified by UFC champion Bas Rutten in his MMA system. Through this relationship she would later go on to create his striking curriculum, run the instructor development program, and head the licensing division for Bas Rutten Systems. She also owns and operates Alpha Girls Academy, a specialized training organization for women only. Currently, Kirsten has left her career as a full-time police officer to focus on raising her 3 year old twins and teaching. |
