Certification – So You Want to Be an IKI Krav Maga Instructor?RequirementsPlease note: IKI does not offer "rank recognition" . There are associations that, for a fee, will award you a new rank from their organization equal to the rank you already possess. IKI does not do this. If you are a 10th dan black belt in some other style you will still join IKI with no rank. If your previous training has value then it will help you progress rapidly with IKI. Please do not waste our time by making such a request.
For instructor ranks: The person must have several years in our system or prove that his previous training prepared him to absorb the IKI techniques rapidly.
Our instructor grading system is as follows: Apprentice Instructor, Assistant Instructor, Associate Instructor, Full instructor. (no rank skipping)
We issue the Apprentice Instructor certification which entitles the instructor to use IKI student rank certificates and IKI gear and to promote his/her affiliation to IKI. With the rank of Apprentice Instructor (formally known as Phase One), one can teach IKI Krav Maga. To qualify for Apprentice Instructor , one should have a solid command of IKI gun and knife disarms, these are very different from other styles of Krav Maga. One cannot call themselves an IKI instructor while teaching gun and knife disarms that we consider dangerous.
To qualify for Apprentice Instructor we will teach the instructor the basics through DVDs, clips and in person seminars/Tour and Train.
How long can you expect this process to take? For those with previous black belts or certifications see Apprentice Instructor How Long? IKI Krav Maga Curriculum Requirement Assistant instructors have at least 1 yr-2 yr of practice in IKI and agree to host a seminar so that their students can feel a part of IKI. If hosting a seminar is not possible we shall explore other options.
Apprentice Instructor certification means affiliates are trusted to accurately teach IKI techniques at their school. Unless they have had a minimum of 3/4 years training in Israel self defense one can not be promoted to Instructor level in Krav Maga.
