Train. Adapt. Survive. ™

about

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.

All of our instructors at Krav Maga Toronto have a minimum of 2 years apprenticing experience before receiving their KMW official Instructor certification. Our Krav Maga lineage come from founder Imi Lichtenfeld directly through Darren Levine and his top ranking instructors through to our chief instructor Robert Ferreira.
 
With loyal dedication, consistent discipline and an enormous passion for Krav Maga, its principals and values, We are very proud to be affiliated with Krav Maga Worldwide.
 
In 1981 the Krav Maga Association of Israel and the Israeli Ministry of Education held the first International Instructor’s Course at Wingate Institute for Physical Education. A generous philanthropist in New York, S. Daniel Abraham, sponsored a delegation of 23 members from various cities in the United States to attend the course. This course was supervised by Imi himself, who was then 71 years old and retired from his military career. The course was taught by Krav Maga lead instructors Shike Barak, Eyal Yanilov, and Ruevin Moimon. Darren Levine was chosen to be part of the delegation because of his martial arts and boxing background, as well as his involvement in the physical education program at the Heschel Day School near Los Angeles, California.
 
After returning home from Israel, Darren began teaching Krav Maga at Heschel Day School as an elective class. The class became so popular that it was incorporated into the physical education program. The journey and trajectory of KMW continued and evolved as we know it today. For more information about Krav Maga Worldwide, click here.

WHAT WE DO

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!
