Continued Professional Development

We believe we offer the most comprehensive  Krav Maga Instructor Training outside of Israel. Our course has already become an industry benchmark and we believe one of the toughest in the world.

A fresh approach to training

We reviewed our competitors instructor training programs. Programs were essentiall divided into 2 approaches. Short certifications consisting of 3,4 or 5 days. Or more credible 18 or 24 days training courses. We noticed that the longer courses were very simmilar in terms of structure and design. The methodology was old but ernest. However we noticed that most were poorly thought out,  inefficiently constructed, or little more than an arbitrary list of techniques.

We observed that these courses had not been designed as progressive or in a manner conducive to efficient learning.  Others still seemed designed only to create additional revenue for the Organisation running them.  The 4 and 5 day 'Instructor Course" fell clearly into this category.

An Intelligent approach to better Instructors

The BKMA attempted to find a flexible and intelligent way to match Instructor development against an an intuitive and progressive Instructor training program.

We did some research and noticed 3 clearly defined stages in Krav Maga Instructor development.

• Consolidation of Foundation skills.
• Specialisation of skills
• Mastery of skills

So we designed a program that would match the needs of the Instructor at different stages of their development. Rather than having the simple linear model of the other organisations, we designed a 3 tier model that reflected the development of the individual instructor. As a result our training is more efficient to deliver, more intuitive in practice. And that makes it faster to learn.. 

Consolidation Stage

On completion of Basic Training (Level 1) BKMA Instructors start to teach novice classes. Instructors have a 6 month mentorship period. Here they are supported with their schools and with their personal development. After 6 months continued training Instructors may attend Level 2 training to see if they are ready to continue their professional development. This period is called Consolidation.

Speciality Stage

Typically Instructors are keen to develop their skills further. At this stage Instructors start specialist training in modules of groundfighting, Cutting and striking weapons and firearms.

Advanced Stage

Once Instructors have completed the speciality stage  they are ready to learn and deliver increasingly advanced training. Advanced training consists of 3 modules at an advanced level. On completion Instructors should be able to delive the entire Krav Maga Curricula through to advanced stages as a practitioner and an Instructor.
