About Krav Maga Revolution
At Krav Maga Revolution, our mission is simple: to transform lives by empowering people through expert Krav Maga instruction. Through training, our students walk away feeling safer, stronger, and more confident not just on the mat, but in everyday life.
Our curriculum and teaching methods are designed to make Krav Maga accessible to everyday people, breaking down both the fundamentals and the finer details of the system. We've streamlined the learning process so that students can progress from complete beginner to proficient practitioner in record time, without sacrificing depth or quality of instruction.
We also believe that well-rounded combat sports training complements and strengthens Krav Maga practice. Our striking program draws from Boxing, Muay Thai, Sanshou, Kickboxing, and MMA, while our grappling program is built on the foundations of Wrestling, Judo, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu giving students a complete, versatile skill set across every range of combat.
The success of our program is built on years of experience, a proven training methodology, and the skill and dedication of our instructor team. Students benefit from a structured, progressive path that develops the individual skills and tactical awareness required to become effective, capable practitioners of Krav Maga.
We take pride in having one of the most qualified and innovative instructor teams in the industry. We know that world-class instruction starts with world-class instructors which is why we hold ourselves to a standard of continuous growth, consistently investing in our own training and development.
All of our Krav Maga and Kapap instructors are Israeli trained, certified, and undergo annual re-certification ensuring every class is taught to the highest, most current standard in the industry.
