IKI Krav Maga France

IKI France is beginning to take root. Our two members, Roberta Grossi and Cyril Marchand, are working hard to establish IKI in France and are looking to work in cooperation with major French martial arts associations.

I had a very warm and productive meeting with Cyril in Paris. We have a shared approach and understanding of martial arts and self defense. I see our paths as coming together in a very positive way.

I found him to be a man of wisdom, integrity and vision. He exuded kindness and understanding. We also discovered some common roots. Cyril has a deep connection with Israel and the Jewish people.

Cyril is one of the top Karate men in France and well established in his field. He is interested in bringing the same passion and professionalism to Krav Maga.

In keeping with IKI tradition we had our meeting at StarBucks.

After many years training in Krav Maga including three years with IKI, Roberta invited Moshe to France for personal one on one training. On August 31, 2011 she was promoted to first dan black belt in IKI Krav Maga. Her previous training helped her understand the simplicity and directness of the IKI approach.

Roberta has been involved in martial arts her entire life. As a child growing up in Italy she trained in Judo and won several competitions, eventually reaching blue belt level.

She trained in Jujitsu for 12 years, Butokukai style, earning a black belt 1st Dan.
