Certification – So You Want to Be a Krav Maga Instructor?RequirementsFor Black Belt ranks: The person must have several years in our system or a similar Israeli system.
We have "phases" or "Levels" leading to dan rank.
There are three instructor phases. An IKI (Israeli Krav International) instructor should have a black belt in a combative system and basic training in IKI. We issue the instructor phase 1 certification which entitles the instructor to use IKI student rank certificates and IKI gear and to promote his/her affiliation to IKI. Almost any black belt instructor should qualify for phase 1. During phase 1 we will teach the instructor the basics through dvd/seminars. Phase 2 instructors have had 6mo-1yr of practice in IKI and agree to host a seminar so that their students can feel a part of IKI. Phase 3 can be awarded after Phase 2 and prepares the instructor for the level of 1st dan in Krav Maga. Level one means affiliates can teach beginners in the IKI style at their school. They can do this via video tape. Level 2 requires an in person exam that you give as part of their first seminar with you. Every year they can move to the next level as they continue to host your seminar. After they reach level 3/4 you can be tested for 1st Dan in Krav Maga. Unless they have had a minimum of 3/4 years training in Israel self defense one can not be promoted to black belt in Krav Maga. Rules from the Board of DirectorsAccording to our board of directors here are the rules...no black belts until 3 years minimum training with 3 seminars over a 3 year period.Exceptions: If one can prove through certificates that they have been trained in Krav Maga from an authentic krav maga teacher you can consider that training as time in grade for your promotions. "Interested instructors will be glad to wait. Guys just looking for the next credential can take a hike. Don't allow someone to offer money to buy rank. Maintain integrity in your organization and you will build a strong foundation for years to come."
