Krav Maga Toronto is a full-time academy dedicated to teaching practical self defence. We are committed to ensuring that everyone who trains with us feels more confident in their ability to protect themselves and get home safe. Established in 2007 at our current location, we are Toronto’s first and only *Krav Maga Worldwide licensed training academy.
No Experience is necessary! It is also a training center for those who love hard work, challenges and ongoing personal development. From day one our owner and 2nd Degree Krav Maga black belt chief instructor has set a standard for the quality of teaching, self defence, self protection and personal development for himself, our team and our students that has set us apart. Self defence and self protection above all else require a mindset and discipline that we at KMT understand and implement daily. Our team is highly experienced in Krav Maga.
Our team has a combined experience of over 40 years of martial arts, Krav Maga and real life experience. The undeniable truths of violent encounters are the foundation of what Krav Maga was created for. With us, our members are led through classes with specific instructions and techniques to allow our students to learn through practical application, challenging drills/ exercises designed to help build our members mentally, emotionally and physically. It starts one of two ways.
First, through the physical aspect of our training. Second, through the mental aspect of our training. We integrate intensity in to our fun and supportive atmosphere.
Marathoners run to train for a race. Bodybuilders train to prepare for competition. When you train with Krav Maga Toronto, you train to be physically and emotionally ready for realistic worst case scenarios.
Krav Maga is not a martial art. It is a self defence system created by its founder Imi Lichtenfeld. It was developed to train the Israeli special forces and adapted for civilians. It is designed to use our most instinctive responses to maximize our defences while addressing the immediate danger.
This system takes the most practical techniques from Boxing, Karate, Judo, and many other martial arts to give you with an arsenal of skills to serve you in real-life scenarios. Krav Maga is the leading practical self-defense training used by Law Enforcement and Military all around the world.
Krav Maga Toronto provides training in realistic scenarios that safely emulate the physical and psychological stressors that are present in real world situations. Our experienced instructors will help you learn effective techniques based on your body’s natural instincts.
You will become the toughest, most empowered, most confident version of yourself. All while joining an open and supportive community just as eager to grow with you.
Pick one of our beginner class throughout the week that fits your schedule and come join us. We are looking forward to meeting you!
Emeka began his journey into Krav Maga in 2015, and after his trial class, he has been an active member of the community since. As part of his personal development journey, he wanted to learn real life fight skills in a self-defense system that was practical, adaptable, applicable and precise. He found that in Krav Maga.
Through dedication, consistency and growth, he began his instructor apprenticeship program in 2022, and received his phase A (Level 1) certification from Krav Maga Worldwide, Los Angeles, in 2024. He is also currently training towards his brown belt certification.
Emeka’s goal in each class, is to inspire students to dig deeper, believe in themselves, train hard, and cultivate a mindset that says “We are not victims”.
This is a mindset that was instilled in him under the tutelage and guidance of the leadership team at Krav Maga Toronto.
He feels privileged to be a part of the community, and believes the teachings of Krav Maga go beyond training, and can be applied to several aspects of life.
Emeka became aware about Krav Maga while listening to an audiobook about personal development. The description by the author really spiked his interest. In the past, he had taken a few boxing, Tae Kwon Do and Muay Thai classes, but none of them seemed to address the real life practicalities and intricacies of fighting. After his first ever Krav Maga trial class at KMT, commemorated with his interaction with the staff, he was hooked and felt right at home.
