Our K9 Morale Officer!

Echo has been at Mr. Shorts' side for the past 7 years. He has been training in Krav Maga for the entirety of those 7 years, and continues to further his training to this day. At Krav Maga Hampton Roads Echo is responsible for maintaining, and when needed, enhancing the morale of the students. He takes his role very seriously, and does not appreciate any half-ass measures in training. He is doing well with the punching combinations however still working on his reverse side kick.
