Krav Maga is the official self-defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces.

Our center offers separate Krav Maga classes for beginner, intermediate and advance students. This insures beginners are properly taught the fundamental techniques, while our more experienced students can continually progress through the system. We are one of the few Krav Maga facilities in Florida qualified to teach Levels 1 through 5 of the Krav Maga Worldwide(TM) curriculum (click each level for details): Krav Maga belt levels


In addition to our group classes above, we offer to teach this curriculum through private lessons. Private lessons are available for those students who prefer individual training or cannot attend the group classes and need a lesson time that works with their schedule. These lessons can be done at our facility or at the student's home (in-home personal training) if it is more convenient for them. Private lessons are also popular for those who want unique or specialized training. Here are some examples of the specialized training we offer:
  • Combat Oriented and Functional Fitness Training
  • Groundfighting/Submission Grappling
  • Handgun and Long Gun Defenses
  • Knife and Edged Weapons Defenses
  • Krav Maga Worldwide(TM) Instructor Apprentice Program
  • Standup Fighting
  • Stick and Blunt Object Weapons Defenses
  • Takedowns and Takedown Defenses/Wrestling

About Us

Koch Martial Arts In 1990, Koch Martial Arts started as a traditional Taekwondo school for children and adults in Newport, Oregon. Over the years we expanded to three locations on the central Oregon Coast and offered a variety of programs including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga, Kickboxing, Mixed Martial Arts and pre-school aged classes.

In 2009 we sold our schools in Oregon and relocated to Pompano Beach so we could live in an area with warmer weather and more people for our new Krav Maga Worldwide(TM) Official Training Center that specializes in reality-based self defense training for adults.

Randall Koch Randall Koch - Owner/Instructor

Randall experienced his first Krav Maga training when attending an 8 hour seminar taught by Krav Maga Worldwide(TM) chief instructor Darren Levine and lead instructor John Whitman in Seattle, Washington in 1999. He was so impressed with the effectiveness of the system that he wanted to learn more but there were no Krav Maga schools where he lived in Oregon. So he decided to purchase the entire Krav Maga Worldwide(TM) instructional video set and learn as much as possible on his own. He integrated the techniques into his current martial arts training as well as cross-training for the martial arts students he taught. The feedback from his students in regards to the Krav Maga techniques was overwhelmingly positive!

In 2001, he became a Krav Maga Worldwide(TM) licensee. That year he completed and passed his first level of instructor training in Jacksonville, Florida and has taught Krav Maga classes ever since. He has continued to train through the higher levels of instructor training at various locations throughout the country, including the Krav Maga Worldwide National Training Center in Los Angeles, California. He is currently qualified to teach Levels 1 through 5 of the Krav Maga Worldwide(TM) curriculum.

Jake Albinio

"As a former state champion high school and Division I wrestler, I wanted to find a competitive sport after college and Mixed Martial Arts was the logical choice. I won my first MMA fight just using my wrestling background and fell in love with the sport. However, I realized I needed to learn more to improve for future fights and tougher competition. When I lived in Oregon, I found Koch Martial Arts and started taking Brazilian Jiu-jitsu classes under Randall and then added his stand-up training. I've learned under many coaches but Randall's attention to detail and teaching structure is one of the best! He has helped me to a 5-2 MMA record and dozens of victories in BJJ and Submission Grappling tournaments. I now do MMA training at American Top Team in Coconut Creek but continue to learn Krav Maga under Randall. There are so many things I learn in Krav Maga that are not taught in MMA."
