We are a group of Krav Maga practitioners, martial artists, and CrossFit affiliate owners who are passionate about making people safer and healthier, and supporting businesses who share that passion.

 

We are martial artists with a combined experience of over 50 years in multiple disciplines. We are business owners. We are educators. We are Black Belts. But we are also parents, spouses, and people who are active in our community. We understand that you do what you do because you love it, not just because it feeds your family.

 

Foundation Krav Maga was started when people with diverse backgrounds came together over a common goal: to develop a national organization that supports people like us. People who want to become healthier and safer, and who want to help others do the same.

 

Our backgrounds include training and certification from such organizations as Krav Maga Worldwide, Krav Maga Alliance, United States Krav Maga Association, Gracie Jiu Jitsu, North American Defendo Alliance, and more. Our decades of experience span such systems as Krav Maga, Kajukenbo, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Scandinavian Defendo, CrossFit...to name a few.

 

We bring our varied experience together to establish the foundation on which others can learn and grow. Whether you're looking for one small element from our menu, or a soup-to-nuts solution, our knowledgeable, passionate staff can help you grow and succeed.
