Krav Maga Global
Krav Maga Global (KMG) only teaches the genuine system of Krav Maga. Created and developed by Imi Lichtenfeld and the Israeli Defence Force (IDF), Krav Maga only came into civilian life in 1965. Since then, the system has been continually developed and updated by the Global Chief Instructor of KMG and closest assistant to Imi, Eyal Yanilov. Eyal is the only person in the world to hold the highest grade ever given by Imi (Master Level 3/Expert Level 8).
KMG has grown to be the largest and most professional Krav Maga organization in the world, trains and educates civilian students and instructors, law-enforcement officers and instructors, military personnel and instructors, as well as security and close protection officers and their instructors. Assisted by his Global Training Team, Eyal now travels worldwide teaching and promoting the Krav Maga system.
When you see the KMG logo, it means the instructor is constantly training and monitored to make sure they provide you with the most up to date information as safely as possible. All of our instructors have trained with Eyal Yanilov and are certified by KMG.
