Belinda Banales
PAMONA, CA Level II Instructor
Belinda started training in Krav Maga in 2017 after experiencing some traumatic events in life that left her feeling helpless. She never wanted to experience that level of fear again and started training in Krav Maga shortly afterwards. One and a half years later, she was introduced to the Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) by Late Sifu Ryan Spink and fell in love with it! She is a blue belt in Krav Maga and a brown belt in FMA under Sifu Ryan Spink. She trained in BJJ for a short time but stopped due to an injury. Today, she primarily trains in FMA.Â
She was introduced to the Warrior Forged Project at a Krav Maga seminar by Sifu Ryan in 2018. Soon after, she discovered a love of teaching with the WFP. Belinda is passionate about teaching self defense because no one should feel the same fear she did before starting her martial arts journey.Â
Belinda graduated from Cal Poly Pomona and works helping animals. She also enjoys training her dogs, drawing, playing the flute, and video games in her spare time.Â
