The KMG (Krav Maga Global) -
Guarantee of actuality and quality
Krav Maga was first developed as a military close combat system by the chief instructor for physical education and close combat of the Israeli army, Imrich Lichtenfeld.
In order to make the battle-tested system accessible to a broader audience Imi and his closest assistant, Eyal Yanilov, founded the IKMF.
After Imi's death Eyal Yanilov became head instructor of the IKMF. Since then Eyal and his team of Krav Maga experts built up IKMF to become world's largest Krav Maga organization.
Sensing that the IKMF worked better as an Israeli Sports Club than perhaps a professional international organization on the long run, Eyal Yanilov founded KMG – Krav Maga Global.
Since its founding KMG has ensured the optimal breadth and further development of Krav Maga through the high caliber of its instructors and effective structure. KMG has kept Krav Maga relative and modern through continuous improvement and constant every day use.
Maintaining the highest quality trainers and instructors requires first recruiting top talent and then building their capabilities and knowledge through months-long intensive instruction. Thereafter, instructors are required to attend special instructor seminars to remain current as well as undergoing a stringent annual certification process demonstrating to KMG leadership their continued knowledge and capabilities.
