Highlight video from our Anti Abduction + Human Trafficking Prevention Seminar on September 28 and 29.

The seminar was a combination of travel safety lectures, technical skill training, as well as realistic scenario based drills.

The middle video highlights the technical skill training that was conducted primarily on the mats in the classroom.

The background videos shows some the realistic scenario based drills such as different types of carjacking defenses performed out in the parking lot with actual vehicles and an abduction stress simulation that was done at the end of the seminar.

Thanks again to our guest instructor Jeff Mount for flying in from Maryland to teach an excellent seminar and to everyone who participated!

Thank you Ruby and Andrew for recording the videos!

We’re all geared up (handguns, long guns, knives, pillow cases, ropes, striking shields) for our Anti Abduction + Human Trafficking Prevention Seminar this Saturday and Sunday, September 28 and 29.

The training will be realistic and comprehensive, yet safe and beginner friendly.

Day 1 will be technical training teaching the participants to defend against common forms of assault used in abduction scenarios such as headlocks, bearhugs, arm pulls, and gun threats.

Day 2 will be scenario based training as the participants will use the skills learned on the first day to prevent from being abducted by training outside in the parking lot with vans and people playing the role of attackers.

We currently have 29 people signed up for this seminar but have a few spots left.

Happy 4th birthday to our Krav Maga school’s mascot cat Shadow!

My neighbor and I found her in the parking lot in front of our school’s old location when she was 6 weeks old.

She’s been a part of our self-defense school ever since.

On average I spend about 12 hours each day at the school with her. I spend more time with her than any other living creature and vice versa. For this reason we have created a special bond and she’s been a blessing to have in my life.

September 14, 2024

We’re excited to announce that we will be starting Krav Maga Kids classes.

We will start with classes every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00-5:00 PM.

First class is October 15.

Additional details coming soon!

“Krav Maga Worldwide is a place you can walk into and feel welcomed. Great instructors, great people, and a place full of good vibes. Rarely seen in martial art schools out here. Also, a great self-defense system that prepares you for REAL LIFE situations (chokes, knives, guns, multiple attackers, etc.), especially for women. If you are ever in Fort Lauderdale or live there, I highly recommend you stop by this place and check it out. I believe you won’t be disappointed.” – Brad

A Journey into Darkness Tim McLean’s Fatal Bus Ride

A Real-Life Nightmare and the Lessons We Can Learn from It…

It was a typical summer evening. July 30, 2008.

Tim McLean, a vibrant carnival worker, was heading home to Winnipeg after a stint in Edmonton.

Boarding Greyhound bus 1170, Tim found a seat near the back, ready to unwind and enjoy the ride…

…Little did he know, this journey would end in one of the most horrific events imaginable.

As the bus made its way through Manitoba, a new passenger, Vince Li, boarded at a small stop just west of Winnipeg.

Li, a man in his 40s, initially sat near the front but later moved to sit beside Tim.

Tim, with his headphones on, drifted off to sleep, unaware of the danger lurking next to him.

At 6:55 p.m., the peaceful journey took a dark turn.

Li suddenly produced a large knife and began savagely stabbing Tim in the neck and chest.

Panic ensued as the bus driver and passengers fled. Despite efforts to save Tim, they were forced back by Li’s violent threats.

What followed was a scene out of a nightmare – Li decapitated Tim, displaying his severed head through the window before consuming parts of his flesh.

The police arrived to find a grim scene. Li, unfazed, continued to defile the corpse, pacing the length of the bus, muttering about needing to stay on the bus forever.

The standoff lasted hours, ending with Li’s arrest as he tried to escape through a window.

The aftermath was devastating, leaving the passengers traumatized and a nation in shock.

So, what can we learn from this chilling incident?

Analyzing the Incident

This tragic story highlights critical lessons about personal safety and the importance of intuition in self-defense.

– Situational Awareness: Always be aware of your surroundings. Tim’s headphones isolated him from his environment. While it’s natural to relax in familiar settings, staying alert can provide those precious seconds needed to react in a crisis.

– Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off, it probably is. The human brain is wired to pick up subtle cues from our environment. Those gut feelings are there for a reason. Trust them.

– Keep a Safe Distance: If possible, keep a distance from individuals who make you uncomfortable. Move to a safer location or nearer to other people. It’s better to be overly cautious than regretful.

– Have a Plan: Know your exits and have a mental plan for emergencies. In confined spaces like buses, understanding your escape routes can be life-saving.

– Self-Defense Skills: Equip yourself with basic self-defense skills. While it might not prevent every situation, knowing how to defend yourself increases your options and confidence.

Safety Tips for Public Transport

– Stay Vigilant: Keep your head up and scan your environment periodically.

– Avoid Distractions: Limit the use of headphones and mobile devices.

– Buddy System: Travel with friends or sit near the driver if alone.

– Report Suspicious Behavior: Don’t hesitate to alert the driver or authorities if someone’s behavior seems off.

– Self-Defense Tools: Consider carrying non-lethal self-defense tools like pepper spray.

The Power of Preparation

In the aftermath of this tragedy, it’s crucial to remember that while we cannot predict every danger, we can prepare ourselves.

Equip yourself with knowledge and tools, and most importantly, trust your instincts. Your gut feeling is a powerful ally in self-defense.

Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense training is about more than just learning to fight. It’s about survival. It’s about knowing what to do, and having the skills to do what you need to, when you absolutely must take action to defend your life or the life of a loved one.

We train for situations like abduction, car-jacking, active shooter events, third party defense, and many more because they’re real, they’re scary, and we want our students to know what to do if they find themselves in the worst of circumstances.

If you don’t train on these sorts of real-world, scary, situations you simply won’t have the skills or tactical knowledge you need to prevail if your life is on the line.

Know what to do so you can fight back and win.

“Combat in the Streets – How to Maintain Composure”

Welcome to the front line of urban combat readiness. This isn’t just about techniques; it’s about survival, mental toughness, and quick adaptation to the unpredictable streets. Here, we talk straight, train hard, and stay ready for anything.

In urban combat, every alley and corner can present a new challenge. It’s about close encounters, unexpected elements, and making split-second decisions. Think of the city as your chessboard – you need to know it like the back of your hand.

First off, keep your eyes open and your mind sharp. Street combat demands situational awareness at all times. You don’t just look; you observe. You don’t just listen; you hear. This is about sensing danger before it senses you.

Breathing isn’t just for staying alive; it’s for keeping your head when things get tough. Learn to control it. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Keep it steady, keep it calm, and keep control.

You’re as good as your training, so make it count. Train like you’re in the thick of it. Physical strength, mental resilience, tactical smarts – sharpen them all. And remember, street fights aren’t choreographed. Be ready to adapt, improvise, overcome.

Toughness isn’t just physical. It’s in the mind. Build it with visualization, meditation, and scenario planning. The battle is won in the mind before it’s fought on the streets.

Don’t go it alone. Teamwork is your armor, and communication is your weapon. Clear, quick, and to the point. That’s how we operate. That’s how we survive.

Join a School Nearby – get comfortable at training under duress and become a confident and ready Individual, ready to take action if necessary with quick, fast, and efficient movement to NOT become the victim.

Thank you Jacob Plis for leaving me this review on my Krav Maga Facebook page.

Jacob trained at my school when he was a teenager about 10 years ago. Now as an adult he currently lives in the Philippines.

He sent me a message this past weekend explaining how he used the same 360 Degree Outside Defense he learned in our Krav Maga Level 1 classes to defend a knife attack, pushed the attacker back, used a Front Kick to the stomach, and then left the scene for safety.

This are all skills he learned at our school. Even though he hasn’t trained with us in many years, these reactions came out of him during a real-life violent confrontation and kept him safe.

Great job Jacob!

Between weekend morning classes, I asked Mike if he wanted a banana. He said yes, so I pointed it at his head similar to a gun threat. Without missing a beat, Mike immediately executed the proper gun defense for this threat.

Monica noticed it and asked for us to do it again so she could record it.

We train hard but have fun too!

‘I have a knife and I’m gonna kill you…’

…let me tell you about my friend Jay.

A guy with charm, wit, and a knack for attracting all the right (actually mostly wrong) people.

Jay went on a blind date that started like a rom-com and ended like a thriller.

He met her online. She seemed perfect—great conversation, shared interests, and stunning photos.

Their first date was set at a cozy restaurant. All seemed well until dessert.

As the night progressed, Jay noticed her behavior becoming erratic. She talked obsessively about their future together, despite it being their first meeting.

Jay, being the polite guy he is, tried to ease the situation and suggested calling it a night.

In the parking lot, things took a darker turn. She stood in front of his car, blocking his way, and started yelling.

‘I have a knife and I’m gonna kill you…’

Jay’s heart raced when he saw that one of her hands was hidden behind her back.

“Show me your hands,” he demanded, trying to stay calm.

She refused, taking a step closer, eyes wild with fury. Jay knew he had to act fast.

Staying Safe on First Dates: Essential Tips

1. Meet in Public Places

Always choose a public place for your first date. Restaurants, cafes, or parks with lots of people around. It’s safer and provides an easy escape route if things go south.

2. Share Your Plans

Let a friend or family member know where you’re going and who you’re meeting. Share your location via your phone’s GPS and set up a check-in time.

3. Stay Sober

Keep your wits about you. If you’re drinking, do so in moderation. It’s crucial to stay aware of your surroundings and the person you’re with.

4. Watch Your Belongings

Keep an eye on your drink and personal items. If you need to use the restroom, take your drink with you or leave it where you can see it.

5. Trust Your Instincts

If something feels off, it probably is. Don’t be afraid to end the date early. Your safety comes first.

6. Know Basic Self-Defense

Familiarize yourself with basic self-defense techniques. Knowing how to break free from a grab or defend against an attack can be lifesaving.

Krav Maga, for instance, offers practical and straightforward techniques that are easy to learn and effective.

The Parking Lot Showdown

Back to Jay.

In the parking lot, his instincts kicked in. He remembered the self-defense tips he had read (from a certain newsletter, perhaps?). He kept a safe distance and stayed alert.

She lunged, but Jay was ready. He sidestepped, keeping his car between them, and yelled for help.

The commotion attracted the attention of a passerby, who called the police.

Jay’s date, realizing the situation was out of her control, revealed her empty hand.

She had been bluffing all along, trying to intimidate him. The police arrived soon after, and Jay was safe.

Jay’s story is a stark reminder of the importance of staying vigilant. If you want more in-depth tips and advanced self-defense techniques, consider upgrading to our Fight or Flight Pro Newsletter.

Stay safe, stay informed, and never let your guard down.

Just because my friend Jay attracts the wrong type of person…that doesn’t mean that you have to. Follow the online dating tips in the video above to keep yourself safe.

Enjoy!

We’re adding Effective Boxing Classes and Workouts for Teens and Women in the Fort Lauderdale area!

🥊

While boxing was meant strictly for the ring, combining it with your Krav Maga training gives you more techniques to draw on in real-world fighting situations. At Krav Maga Worldwide, we want to ensure you have a comprehensive skill set that allows you to defend yourself with confidence. With our boxing classes, you’ll gain the experience you need to protect yourself in the most demanding and unexpected conditions.

🥊

Boxing Training Focus

During our boxing workouts, students will punch focus mitts, hit heavy bags, train footwork and movement, spar, and learn the ins and outs of western style boxing. Technique and conditioning will be emphasized as students are run through the various training regimens of professional boxers. You can expect plenty of high intensity interval training to supplement your boxing techniques during these classes.

🥊

Intense Boxing Workouts

Our boxing training is a very demanding workout and is just as rigorous as our Krav Maga training. Come prepared to sweat through your clothes and exhaust your muscles. We highly recommend supplementing your Krav Maga skills with these additional techniques to ensure you’re a well-rounded fighter.

🥊

On the streets, there are no categories to even the playing field. Your attacker doesn’t care about fairness or weight classes. You could be facing someone twice your size or half your age – the variables are limitless. This stark reality makes the case for self-defense techniques that are effective regardless of size, strength, or aggressiveness of the attacker.

Why is this important? Because self-defense isn’t about winning a match; it’s about surviving a threat. The strategies and techniques you rely on need to work not just against a similarly sized opponent in a controlled setting, but against anyone who poses a danger to you in any situation.

This calls for a shift in training focus. Embracing methods like Krav Maga, which emphasize instinctive movements and leverage rather than brute strength, can level the playing field, offering you tools that are as effective against a lightweight as they are against a heavyweight.

April 14, 2024

A truth about self-defense often left unspoken:
.
In the “dojo”, traditional arts and sport fighting is governed by respect, rules, and boundaries. But out in the real world, attackers don’t follow any code. They bring raw, unscripted aggression to the table—no rules, no mercy.
.
Traditional martial arts and sport fighting undeniably offer valuable tools and training. They teach us discipline, strategy, physical fitness, and a deep understanding of combat mechanics. But at what point does the investment in traditional and sport fighting disciplines become less relevant for legitimate self-defense?

Finally, in Part 3, we’re highlighting how to use your situational awareness skills to identify everyday items for your safety. Here are a few tips to help you recognize these resources:

Hone: Hone your observation skills to notice details about your surroundings. Focus on the objects you encounter in different types of environments.

Embrace Creativity: Encourage yourself to think outside the box regarding the objects you encounter daily. A heavy bag or briefcase doesn’t just carry your items; it can act as a protective shield if needed.

Train: Regularly challenge yourself to identify and mentally catalog items in your environment that could be used in different scenarios. Integrate these items into your physical self-defense training to sharpen your memory recall.

Situational awareness is a vital skill that includes being alert to your immediate environment, encompassing numerous aspects that are essential for situational perception. We are providing a few strategies today aimed at specifically improving your ability to swiftly exit an area upon identifying a potential threat.

Familiarize: Start by locating all potential exits and escape routes in any environment you find yourself in, whether it’s your office, a shopping center, or an outdoor area. Knowing where these exits are can significantly boost your readiness for any emergency.

Practice: Each time you step into a building or new area, actively look for exit signs and mentally note several escape paths. This practice will help you develop a reflex to always be aware of your quickest ways out.

Visualize: Engage in mental rehearsals of different exit scenarios from places you frequently visit. Imagining yourself escaping from various situations can help lower panic levels and improve your ability to make quick, informed decisions when under pressure.

Save this post to boost your training, and don’t miss Part 1 of this series! Part 3 coming soon

Our instructors are custodians of tradition.

Instructors wield immense influence over the preservation and transmission of Krav Maga’s legacy. Their role extends beyond teaching techniques; they are the stewards of the system’s philosophy and integrity. When instructors misunderstand or intentionally alter Krav Maga to include incongruent techniques, they erode the system’s foundation, leading students astray.
.
It is imperative, then, that instructors commit to a rigorous understanding of Krav Maga, ensuring that their teachings reflect the system’s objectives: to provide an effective, adaptable, and safe means of self-defense that respects and leverages human instincts and capabilities.

DM us today if you need assistance with finding excellent training or licensing. We’re here to help.

Situational awareness is an essential skill that involves being mindful of your immediate environment, understanding the context of your surroundings, and recognizing potential threats or anomalies. Here are our top three tips to train your observation skills and increase awareness.

Assess: Familiarize yourself with the usual atmosphere and behavior in different settings, this is known as the “baseline” of your environment.

Identify: Once you know what’s normal, you can more easily identify anomalies that may indicate a potential threat. For example, a person wearing a heavy coat in warm weather might indicate concealed intentions.

Adapt: Allow your observations to inform your behavior. This could mean extracting yourself from the situation or moving to a more advantageous position should the need to engage arise.

Which of these is your strongest, or what have you noticed lately that you could apply here? Can you think of the “baseline” for the places you frequent the most? Save this post to boost your training!

We train all of this and more at our training centers! Reach out to us today to find the best fit for you.

I got invited to teach to a short Krav Maga boot camp style demonstration at this event.

Unfortunately, it didn’t happen due to rain but it was nice to bump into and speak with some of the teens who trained at my Krav Maga training center last year as part of a summer teen at-risk group.

I also spoke with a few friendly people who asked me about my Krav Maga program after seeing my shirt.

It looks like a lot of families had a good time at the event!

We put ourselves in bad situations, like dealing with armed attackers, so that we have a skill-set that has been trained on repeatedly while under stress.

It’s not just physical skills that matter. It’s developing a no-holds-barred mentality. Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense training stresses that mentality. We develop in in our students. Every day. In every class.

Thank you Dan Kasanovich from America’s Best Defense for visiting our Krav Maga school this morning, training in our advanced class, and giving us both a Google review and a school shirt to add to our collection display!

We enjoy having Krav Maga practitioners from all over the world train with us while visiting the Fort Lauderdale area! If you want to train with us when you’re in the area, please contact us for our class schedule.

Our Krav Maga self-defense school is hosting Bare Knuckle Fighting Workshop with Jim Alers on Saturday, April 6 from 12:00-1:30 PM.

Jim is currently 4-1 in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships (BKFC) with his only loss to the current champion in his weight class. He’s also a UFC veteran and BJJ black belt.

I specifically asked Jim to teach the things he’s learned from his experience in BKFC because if any of us have to defend ourselves in a real-life violent confrontation, we will not be wearing gloves or handwraps and there’s a good chance we’ll have to defend against bare knuckle punches because this is the most common form of assault against both men and women.

This workshop will be appropriate for students of all levels.

I taught a Krav Maga gun and stick defense workshop last year at Jim’s MMA gym in Pembroke Pines. Jim was one of the participants in the workshop. He’s a super nice guy and everyone should have a great experience with him!

Today I was the guest speaker for this month’s luncheon for Women Of Lauderdale West.

They do monthly luncheons that each have a different theme and a guest speaker. The proceeds go towards the charity “Kids In Distress”.

After lunch and the raffle prize giveaways, I did a brief lecture about Krav Maga and a simple self-defense demonstration with four volunteers from the crowd.

The best compliment I received after the lecture was from one of ladies at the table I had lunch at. She said everyone liked it because normally half the ladies just keep talking and don’t pay attention to the speakers. “With you ever single lady in the room actually shut up and was watching!”

Thank you Pinky Trapani for organizing the event and inviting me!

It’s funny when haters

and try to say we don’t run full contact drills, train at “full speed”, or that we don’t understand “combat speed”.

Safety in training is always a huge consideration for us. However there’s no way to develop realistic skills without full contact self-defense and fight training.

Of course we include full contact training in our system. It’s mostly at higher levels of training and we develop students in lower levels to have the skills they need to take their training to higher levels of intensity and complexity.

Krav Maga Worldwide’s mission is to empower every person with real skills to be safer and stronger.

That means the ability to protect yourself and others in real world situations that are considered the worst case scenario. We train on all of those scenarios in full contact drills.

Develop the mentality and physical skills to take action when you absolutely must.

Start training with us today! Get stronger. Be safer.

This month is our Krav Maga self-defense school’s 14 year anniversary.

We’ve had the privilege to train a lot of wonderful people over the past 14 years and want to thank each them for their support!

February 19, 2024

Yesterday I visited Temple Kol Ami Emanu-El in Plantation for lunch with their group.

After lunch I taught a Krav Maga self-defense class covering basic combatives such palm heel strike to the nose, knee strike to the groin and eye gouges.
.
These are very effective techniques that can also be performed by people of all ages.

Then we put these combatives together to get out of a Choke from Behind with a Push.
.
We finished with questions and answers related to personal protection.
.
A very nice and sweet group of people to work with!

We had over 50 participants for our World Class Striking with Master Troy Dorsey seminars today.

The only thing better than the technical knowledge and details Master Dorsey shared with everyone was the time he spent with each student to answer questions, give autograph pictures, and have photos taken with him and his championship belts after each seminar.

He had an amazing fight career. But I think everyone was even more impressed by how wonderful of a person he is!

January 13, 2024

Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense is a principal based system.

The principles of the system are applied across techniques in all levels.

Defending against armed attackers is an integral part of higher level Krav Maga training.

In any situation involving an armed attacker, the defender MUST establish control of the weapon before attempting to take it away. This principal applies to knives, guns, sticks, improvised weapons, etc.

The techniques may differ but the principles remain the same. Our system is designed to be easy to learn and easy to recall under stress. We want all of our students to be safer and stronger, so they may walk in peace.

Start training with us today!

December 22, 2023

We’ll be closed December 24, 25, 31 and January 1. We’ll be open the rest of the days. Happy Holidays everyone!

December 15, 2023

We train hard and stay ready to fight back, win, and go home safe.

Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense teaches a no-holds-barred system that is easy to learn and easy to recall under stress.

Walking in peace is the ultimate goal of Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense training. That’s what we want for everyone.

Start training with us today.

“I used to always think if you needed to defend yourself, all you needed was a gun, but I recently experienced a situation where non-lethal force would have been a good option.”

If you don’t push to get better, or get pushed to be better by your training partners and instructors, then your skills won’t improve.

Full contact training at Krav Maga Worldwide can be tough both physically and mentally but you’ve got to have those experiences to know how you will react in a real physical confrontation.

We push each other to get better because that’s how we all get better.

Start training with us today.

Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense is a no-holds-barred system.
.
Self-defense training at our certified training centers is about, fighting back aggressively, overcoming, surviving, and going home safe, by any means necessary.
.
We teach students to use strikes like headbutts, eye strikes, throat strikes, groin strikes, etc. which would be considered “illegal” in a sanctioned sport fight or competition.
.
There’s only one rule. There’s no points. There’s no second place finish. You’ve got to be ready to do whatever it takes to harm those who would harm you.
.
Can anyone fight “dirty”? Yes. Is everyone consistently training to fight dirty if they are assaulted? No. But we are.
.

The Subtle Art of Fighting Antisemitism on College Campuses

“To effectively fight back with physical aggression, Jews will be tasked with learning how to fight. Krav Maga seems like a nice place to start, although any form of combat will suffice.”

November 5, 2023

This past week we were invited to Fairway Independent Mortgage Group in Fort Lauderdale to teach a Realtor Safety Class.

Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense training will give you the skills and the mentality to fight back and win if you are assaulted.

Our system utilizes instinctive movements and aggressive counterattacking. Learning how to be aggressive can be challenging to some people. However it is an essential skill that our students learn by training under stress and overcoming challenges.

If you’ve never pushed yourself to the point where you are willing yourself to continue to fight despite fear and fatigue…how will you know what to do if you absolutely MUST fight back?

Start training with us today!

“Maybe it won’t work

out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever.”

Author Unknown

Have you been sitting

on the sidelines of life and letting life pass you by?

As motivational speaker, Les Brown, says, “Is your life an adventure or is it boring”?

Too often in life we are afraid to step out of our comfort zone and enjoy what life has to offer.

There is, for each of us, a world

of adventure awaiting for us to explore and have experiences that allow us to grow as individuals.

Don’t be afraid to venture out and take on new challenges. Learn a new language, back pack through the Rocky Mountains

, go back to college and pursue your degree, take up martial arts.

I walked into a martial arts dojo some 32 years ago not knowing what to expect. What I experienced over the years has helped me to be a better individual, gain more confidence, be more patient and humbled me. It has allowed me to travel to Japan to train with the Grandmaster and his top instructors through the years.

I challenge and encourage you to venture out. Yes, you will be afraid and nervous, but the experiences of challenging yourself to take on something new will allow you to grow. It will be the best adventure you’ll ever imagine.

Peace & Love- Norman

You know it. Don’t you?

When you’ve given everything you had. And then given that much more.

When you finished what you started despite all the obstacles.

The pain. The fatigue. The doubt. The nerves. The mind games.

You said you were going to reach for the next level. You went out and did it. You proved it.

You left it all on the mats to become safer and stronger.

You know what that’s about. Right?

Start training with us today.

Here’s the Krav Maga and self-defense demonstration Grace and I recorded at CBS Miami studio that was shown on TV this morning.

“Randall Koch, owner and lead instructor at Krav Maga Worldwide, said you should fight back because would-be abductors are looking for easy targets.”

August 22, 2023

This morning Grace and I were invited to the CBS Miami studio for an on air live interview and demonstration about Krav Maga and self-defense in response to a recent kidnapping attempt in Fort Lauderdale.

After we arrived they decided to have us record our interview and demonstration after the morning show because they didn’t think that would have enough room for the demonstration on the set they use for their live show.

I was definitely anxious with the thought of having to be on live TV. Grace was feeling it too. But everyone at the studio was super nice and friendly and helped put us at ease!

Grace did a great job demonstrating the Defenses against Bearhug from the Front – Arms Caught with No Space and Arm Pulls!

Hopefully, tomorrow morning they will broadcast our interview and demonstration.

Keep an eye out for it!

Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense is a no holds barred system.

Our system was designed to teach people to become proficient in hand-to-hand combat in a short period of time. As a self-defense system we do not consider that we are initiating a fight or conflict. To that end, we don’t consider anything to be “off-limits” or a “foul” if your survival is on the line.

In order to end a fight or an assault you must counterattack aggressively even if that means utilizing strikes to the groin, eyes, throat, back of the head, or other techniques that would be a penalty in a sanctioned sport fight.

We don’t want any of our students to be in a situation where they must defend themselves…. but if they are in that situation we want them to win. Our mission is to give people real skills that will make them safer and stronger.

Start training with us today!

Takedown Defense and Getting Back To Your Feet Seminar Saturday, August 26 from 12:00-2:00 PM.

Professional MMA fighter and coach Edir Terry will be a guest instructor at our Krav Maga training center for an MMA seminar focusing on part (2) takedown defense (keeping the fight standing), getting to your feet using reversal, sweeps and submission.

We specifically requested these topics because we know how dangerous it is to be on the ground in a real-life violent confrontation due the unforgiving surface of pavement and the potential of multiple attackers or weapons.

This seminar is appropriate for students of all levels.

Details and registration information are on the flyer.

Avoid Being Targeted for a Mugging.

This is what the bad guys are looking for in a potential victim.

Avoid the following:

If you hit the ground in a fight and the person you are fighting is still standing, know how to maintain a good position, make damage if possible, and get up.

Work to improve your position while maximizing the weapons you have at your disposal.

Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense training teaches students what to do when they are in positions of disadvantage. There’s no chance for a “time out” there are no rules.

Fight back. Win. Go home safe. That’s the mindset we teach, and train for.

Start training with us today.

Thank you Julie for your Google review! And thank you for being a great mom and encouraging your son to learn the basics of Krav Maga self-defense and fighting in case he has a future incident. His confidence will show in his body language and bad guys will be more likely to avoid him because he won’t look like an easy target. He’s been a pleasure to train!

Thank you Lynn for reviewing our KMW Women’s Self-Defense Course. We’re glad you participated in the course and are continuing your training in our ongoing Level 1 classes!

May 12, 2023

Professional MMA fighter and coach Edir “Belico” Terry will be a guest instructor at our Krav Maga training center for an MMA seminar focusing on takedown defense and getting back to your feet if you end up on the ground.

We specifically requested these two topics because we know how dangerous it is to be on the ground in a real-life violent confrontation due the unforgiving surface of pavement and the potential of multiple attackers or weapons.

This seminar is appropriate for students of all levels. We highly recommend attending it!

Details and registration information are on the flyer.

Imi Lichtenfeld, the founder of Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense, envisioned a world in which everyone walked in peace.

When you train with Krav Maga Worldwide certified training centers you learn real skills that can help you fight back and win if you are assaulted.

We help people become safer. We help people become stronger. Every one of our certified training centers around the world is dedicated to Imi’s Lichtenfeld’s original vision. We don’t want any of our students to get into an altercation…but if they do we want them to win and go home safe.

Start training with us today.

We were happy to award Claudia Garaiacu her Krav Maga Orange Belt diploma for passing our Level 2 test on January 28. Congratulations Claudia!

March 23, 2023

Thank you Pablo for giving us our newest review of our TASER Krav Maga Training Course:

“I took the Taser Krav Maga training course with Randall. As usual with Krav Maga they emphasize training under stress which makes it realistic and therefore more effective. The course is also useful for those of us who conceal carry because the tactics are the same. You learn how to apply your Krav Maga training with the addition of an additional tool so you understand how to make the transition from using your body for self defense to deploying a taser or weapon. Highly recommend.”

March 22, 2023

Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense is a no-holds-barred system.

Self-defense training at our certified training center is about, fighting back aggressively, overcoming, surviving, and going home safe, by any means necessary.

We teach students to use strikes like headbutts, eye strikes, throat strikes, groin strikes, etc. which would be considered “illegal” in a sanctioned sport fight or competition.

There’s only one rule. There’s no points. There’s no second place finish. You’ve got to be ready to do whatever it takes to harm those who would harm you.

Can anyone fight “dirty”? Yes. Is everyone consistently training to fight dirty if they are assaulted? No. But we are.

Start training with us today.

March 20, 2023

Thank you Sam Adams for giving us our first review for our TASER Krav Maga Training Course!
.
And thank you for reviewing our ongoing Krav Maga program!
🙏🏼
“I’ve been a student a little over a year now, and I’m so happy I joined. Randall is one of the best people I’ve ever met, let alone one of the best instructors I’ve had training me. The fact that he doesn’t just teach regular classes on Krav Maga is great. The Taser class is extremely educational, and I highly recommend it for anyone who has not just an interest in tasers, but anyone with a concealed permit for the training on how to react when using a weapon. The specialized classes for women is great too, and brings awareness and confidence on how women can defend themselves against a rapist.
Plus, all the training works, mixing natural body responses to attacks that will save yourself. And everyone else training is so nice, it makes the place welcoming and fun while you learn. I honestly wouldn’t recommend anywhere else to go.”

March 19, 2023

Thank you Alers Martial Arts for hosting us for a Krav Maga gun and stick defense workshop this weekend. This was a fun group to work with! A positive and friendly atmosphere at this gym!

March 8, 2023

Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense is a no holds barred system.

Our system was designed to teach people to become proficient in hand-to-hand combat in a short period of time. As a self-defense system we do not consider that we are initiating a fight or conflict. To that end, we don’t consider anything to be “off-limits” or a “foul” if your survival is on the line.

In order to end a fight or an assault you must counterattack aggressively even if that means utilizing strikes to the groin, eyes, throat, back of the head, or other techniques that would be a penalty in a sanctioned sport fight.

We don’t want any of our students to be in a situation where they must defend themselves….but if they are in that situation we want them to win. Our mission is to give people real skills that will make them safer and stronger.

Start training with us today!

Thank you to Lee Skolasinski for giving our training center its newest Google review!
.
When we have students transfer from other Krav Maga schools/organizations, it’s a 50/50 chance if they will like our curriculum or not. Some transfers can be stuck in their ways and not always be receptive to our techniques because they may differ from what they have learned before.
.
Lee has always been open minded when it comes to learning new things and all our students enjoy training with him. He’s a welcome addition to our Krav Maga family!

February 25, 2023

Considering we only scheduled this about a week in advance, we had an excellent turnout for our free self-defense class open to the public this morning!

We analyzed the security camera footage of the Hillsborough County gym attack and taught all the participants specific tactics and defensive techniques to address the the type of attacks that were shown in the video.

These tactics and techniques included situational awareness, using improvised weapons, bearhiug defenses and kicking off from the ground to get back to our feet and flee the scene for safety.

Thank you Kim Praitano and Monica Bondar for demonstrating the techniques and setting a great example for all the students to follow!

February 22, 2023

Congratulations to Julian Arcila and Lee Skolasinski who were awarded their Krav Maga Orange Belt diplomas for passing our Level 2 test on January 28!

In response to the woman who was attacked in a gym in Hillsborough County, we’re going to teach a FREE SELF-DEFENSE CLASS that’s open to the public on Saturday, February 25 from 9:00-10:00 AM.

In this class we will teach not only to fight back aggressively like this brave woman did but also detailed techniques to address the specific type of attacks that are scene in this video such as defenses against bearhugs, takedowns, kicking off from the ground, etc.

Please share! Contact us for details.

On Valentine’s Day our Level 3 class trained clinch work. In this video we’re doing a pummeling flow drill working for underhooks and neck tie-ups.

Me being the smart-ass I am, I changed the music from a hard rock playlist to a slow, romantic song. Half the students figured out what I was doing fairly quickly.

The other half caught on after hearing the other students giggling.

We train hard but try to have fun too!

-Randall

Happy Valentine’s Day from our mascot cat Shadow and the rest of the staff at our training center!

January 19, 2023

Training at my Krav Maga center isn’t just about self-defense, fighting, and fitness. It’s also about the friendships you make with other like minded, high character people.

One of the highlights of my birthday last weekend was my advanced students surprising me with birthday cards, gifts, and treats after class. Thank you to all of you!

I spend more time with this group of people each week than just about anyone else. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! My Krav Maga family!

“One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn’t belong…”

.
This picture was taken after we added the Century 2XL Pro Griptrac Base Wrap to the first heavy bag on the far right. Now all the bags have the base wrap which has a texturized underside to increase traction, reducing sliding on our new training mats.
.
We have more upgrades and remodel projects in the works at our training center. They’ll be announced soon!

January 7, 2023

I forgot about this pic and video that Monica took last month while I was working with my advanced Krav Maga students on mount control techniques designed to counter back door escapes.

While I was on my knees helping a student, Shadow decides to climb on my back.

She decided to stay on my back while I continued to rotate around helping students while they’re training.

I guess Shadow was more interested in training her back control than mount control that morning!

January 4, 2023

There are no rules in an assault or life threatening situation so our system was designed with no rule-set in mind. Do whatever it takes to go home safe is our mentality

Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense training will give you the skills and the mentality to fight back and win in the worst case scenario. We put ourselves in bad situations, like dealing with armed attackers, so that we have a skill-set that has been trained on repeatedly while under stress.

Self-defense training at a Krav Maga Worldwide certified training center will build your fighting skills and self-defense mentality so that you may walk in peace.

Start training with us today! First class or lesson is free!

December 29, 2022

This afternoon we finished installing our new 1.5″ Zebra Mats.

The new mats are 1/2″ thicker than are old mats. This additional padding makes training takedowns more forgiving on the body and provides extra safety against accidental falls.

Also, they have a smoother surface which helps prevent mat burns when doing groundfighting techniques and sparring.

The surface of these mats are also more durable. They’ll be easier to keep extra clean. And hopefully, our mascot cat Shadow shouldn’t be able to scratch these like the previous mats.

With our new mirrors installed last month and these new mats installed today, we are almost done with our end of the year remodel projects for our training center.

We will be ready to provide a top-notch facility for our Krav Maga students in 2023!

December 24, 2022

For our last award for 2022, congratulations to Pablo Hernandez who was awarded his Krav Maga Yellow Belt diploma for passing our Level 1 test!

December 20, 2022

One of the best parts about living in South Florida and teaching Krav Maga is I get to meet and make friends with people from all over the world on a regular basis.

This past week I taught our Women’s Self-Defense Course to Annie and Angelica. They are on vacation in Fort Lauderdale from Quebec. Annie decided it would be good for her daughter Angelica to learn some basic self-defense skills while down here.

One of the best compliments I can give a student is that it doesn’t feel like work when I train them. These two are sweet and nice people who were fun to teach!

December 17, 2022

Congratulations to Mike Donovan, Monica Bondar, Tom Schafer, Greg Anderson and Kim Praitano who all were awarded their Krav Maga Blue Belt diplomas this morning for passing our Level 4 test!

In advanced levels of Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense training you’ll train on complex tactics and scenarios like using improvised weapons as well as weapon vs. weapon scenarios.

Krav Maga Worldwide’s roots as a system for training military personnel make it possible for us to offer the best and most effective training for situations like these.

We don’t want anyone who trains with us to get in a fight, or find themselves in a situation where they have to fight for their lives…but if they do, we want them to win and go home safe.

Our mission is to empower every person with real skills to make them safer and stronger.

It comes from you.

One of the first things that Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense training teaches and instills in students is fighting spirit. The idea that you won’t stop. The idea that you won’t quit. The idea that you will keep fighting back if you are assaulted….and the ability to manifest that with your physical skills.

Really, though, the fighting spirit is yours. Krav Maga Worldwide training shows you where it is and how to use it. When students become able to tap into their fighting spirit and apply it in training, it’s a huge source of pride for instructors.

Don’t forget why you started training. Don’t stop pushing to get better. To get stronger and be safer.

October 5, 2022

At least once a week, I will have a person contact my Krav Maga training center expressing an interest in learning our self-defense and fighting technique but have concerns about training due to being older and/or out of shape.

Most of these people are in their 50’s, 60’s, or 70’s and want to learn a practical self-defense system like our Krav Maga curriculum teaches but are worried about getting injured or not being able to keep up during training.

Having over 21 years of Krav Maga teaching experience has allowed me to find that balance between realistic training while maintaining safety for my students.

For those with very specific concerns and needs, I also offer private lessons (one-on-one) so I can customize the training to that individual.

In this video my student Laura shares her experience with my Krav Maga program. Laura has been training on and off with us since 2015. She is currently in her 70’s and has graduated both our Level 1 and 2 curriculum. She sets a great example that anyone can train in our Krav Maga program regardless of age! Thank you Laura for this video!

I tell all my students, regardless of their age or athletic ability, to just “make the most out of what you got”. As long as they have this mindset and are willing to put in the work, anyone can do Krav Maga training with us!

Is it “unfair” to slam your knee into the groin of someone who is trying to hurt you?
Is it “dirty” to gouge the eyes or throat of someone who wants to bring harm to your family?
Is it “uncool” to train on techniques, like striking to the back of the head, that would be considered illegal in a sanctioned sport fight?

We don’t think so.

.
We want anyone who trains with us to be able to fight back and win in a life-threatening situation…regardless of what they have to do.
.
We understand that anyone can use “dirty” techniques in a fight, and of course we don’t poke each other’s eyes out every day in class.
.
When we spar and train full contact we train with gear, and with rules. You cannot improve your skills if you are constantly hurting each other or recovering from injury.
.
Self-defense training develops the mentality in our students that they can and will use “dirty” tactics to survive. Survival is the roots of Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense training. Fight back. Win. Walk in peace.

Start training with us today! First class or lesson is free. Contact us to schedule an appointment.

Happy birthday to our mascot cat Shadow! She is now approximately 2 years old today!
.
She was about 6 weeks old when we found her wandering around in the parking lot in front of our training center a few days before Halloween in 2020. A black cat appearing at our store front right before Halloween. It was meant to be!
.
Stop by our training center and meet Shadow!
.
PS – She’s literally sitting in front of my laptop watching me type this. Shadow knows!

Knowing what to do when the fight hits the ground, or when someone is trying to take you to the ground, is an important part of training at Krav Maga Worldwide.

You can’t develop the skills to deal with these situations unless you train on them and work from being at a disadvantage sometimes.

Start training with us today!

Graceann Scherer was so nice to write me a thank you card and gift me two framed pictures of our mascot Shadow last night.

The sporks were a nice touch since her and @sam_adams_not_the_beer think it’s amusing to see me eat my Greek yogurt with a plastic fork between classes.

Like I told Grace, the note just reminds me of why I do what I do and to keep doing it.

Thanks again Grace! You are a hard worker and very talented student. You have a bright future ahead of you!

PS – Both Heidi Weidman

and I think you have good penmanship.

This morning was our last day we trained with our guest student Kenan Seginer from London, England.

He’s been visiting Fort Lauderdale for the past 3 months and training with us a few days a week during his visit. Not only has he trained with us as a student but has shared his knowledge with us as an instructor as well.

He’s currently a Krav Maga brown belt with intentions of testing for his black belt in the near future. We wish him the best on his future test and look forward to him visiting us again in November.

Everyone enjoyed training with him!

July 12, 2022

We train to fight on our feet, to fight on the ground, and to control the transitions between.

Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense and fight training will teach you fundamental takedowns, wrestling skills, and throws, that will help you bring a fight to the ground…or defend against going to the ground.

The transition phase of a fight is incredibly important and we give our students the skills to win in this phase, fight back, and go home safe if they are assaulted.

Know what to do in all phases of a fight. Start training with us today.

#ThrowbackThursday from 8 years ago: Krav Maga – Elbow #6 (Hand Position) Video:

The Vertical Elbow Strike Forward and Upward (Elbow #6) is one of the most difficult elbow strikes to perform properly in Krav Maga. If you’re having trouble getting power and accuracy in this elbow, this video will help you out! It explains the key details to a proper hand position while performing this elbow strike, the pros and cons to having a fist vs. an open hand when doing any type of elbow strike, how this particular elbow is similar to Covering Defenses Against Hook Punches, and more!

I taught two more Krav Maga self-defense workshops for the employees of two of the Marriott properties on Fort Lauderdale Beach.

As you can see by the video that I left in the comments, it’s a rough area to have to teach but someone has to do it.

#ThrowbackThursday from 4 years ago: Knife Defense against Upward Stab (Control to Disarm Transition Details)

From this past Saturday’s Surviving Common Knife Attacks workshop, by far the most difficult technique detail that most participants had trouble learning is addressed in this video.

May 25, 2022

One of the best parts of our Krav Maga training are the friendships you create and keep.

Jonathan (Big Jon) and Mike have stayed in touch but haven’t seen each other in person in 20 years! They finally reconnected in person at our knife defenses workshop this past Saturday.

I haven’t seen Tom‘s son Matt in my classes since he was 17 years old. He walks through the entrance door for the knife defenses workshop as a 21 year old man. I didn’t even recognize him at first! It was great to see him again!

-Randall
