Mrs. Nicole Carpio
Mrs. Nicole Carpio moved to Crestview in 2020 as her husband was on the cusp of his Air Force retirement. She was introduced to Martial Arts when, after meeting Master Sanders in 2023, she was invited to try a women’s only Krav Maga class. Shortly after starting, Krav became a lifeline for Mrs. Carpio while she went through some personal struggles. Since then, it has become such a personal journey of growth and humility. She was invited to an instructor training in March of 2024 where she passed to become a Level 1 associate instructor in Krav Maga. In January of 2024, she co-instructed the kids and teen Krav programs. As Mrs. Carpio continues her martial arts journey, her goals are to earn and train in her black belt in Krav Maga, be able to teach at international seminars and be an example to women everywhere. Her favorite thing about martial arts is teaching the kids and watching their self-confidence grow.
Ms. Carpio has two daughters and has been married to her husband since 2005. When she isn’t taking or teaching classes, she enjoys running, photography, and reading. Her favorite thing is watching her daughters at their track meets and soccer games and the loudest parent there. Her husband is her biggest supporter in her martial arts journey and typically takes the brunt of her training while practicing Krav on the mat and at home.
