British Krav Maga Association

Licensed Krav Maga Instructor - Clint Badlam

Clint attended the 2009 Instructor certification with Krav Maga Worldwide under the direction of Thierry Viatour and Larissa Berardi-Viatour.

Before the move to KMWW he was awarded Practitioner Level 5 after 2 years of intensive training with the International Krav Maga Federation at Bristol Krav Maga Training Centres under instructor Paul Grey. Since then Clint has now progressed to Level 2 Instructor with the British Krav Maga Association. Clint is a dedicated student first and foremost and continues his drive in developing his own skill base as well as now imparting his knowledge to fellow students in his 4 years of training in Krav Maga.

He has a keen interest in both outdoor/extreme sports through to personal fitness and physical conditioning meaning that Krav Maga was an activity that he was naturally attracted to.

Clint was quoted saying…
‘Having been at the sharp end of today's sometimes-volatile society I have personally witnessed first hand, the aftermath of the unprepared, untrained and unwise during such encounters’. In such a short period of time Krav Maga has given me the skill set to either identify issues before they escalate, avoid and/or act appropriately so, at the end of the day, I can return home safely to my family’.

‘I cannot overemphasise the point enough that ‘simplicity reigns’ within the Krav Maga system and whether you realise it, or not? We all have those basic movements and reflexes that Krav Maga is borne from’. We need the right environment to be shown how, in a short period of time we can become 300% more effective in avoiding conflict or if needs must defend ourselves appropriately in dire situations’.

‘It is this alone that has continued to capture my passion and continued engagement in Krav Maga and now develop as an Instructor to ‘pay forward’ what I have learnt as one of the most valuable life skills personally for me, to date’.

Clint heads up both schools in Bedminster and Southville in Bristol and continues to work alongside his instructor Paul Grey. He also holds a Level 1 Certificate in Health & Safety at Work (British Safety Council) qualified to conduct Risk Assessments and a 3year First Aid Qualification from the British Red Cross (2009-2012 and Advanced CRB checked
