Richard Maus, Gold Coast

Richard came to Israel for an intensive two week, one on one program. He also participated in the group classes as well as training with at Itay's in Jerusalem. A conditioned athlete with already substantial experience, he was able to quickly pick up and appreciate our IKI Krav style.
He has qualified as a Junior IKI Instructor and already helped me teach a class in Jerusalem. I was impressed with his ability to disect the techniques and explain them to others.
Richard returned to Israel for another session of intensive training. I was pleased to see that he had used his time away well and was training in IKI Krav Maga, as well as teaching others. I am proud to promote him to Blue belt.
Richard also completed, most succesfully, the basic hand gun training.
Armas Mortensen, Hawkesbury Heights New South Wales
My experience is in 5.5 years of training regulary in Itay Gil system here in Australia under Carl Halleys training and have also had about the first three levels of jujitsu training and am an avid fan of combative material ranging from Kelly McCann and Hock and have a real interest in what works in the real world.
Alan Blackney, Scarborough, Western Australia

Alan came to Israel for twelve days of intensive training. During this time he was also trained in teaching methodology and taught several classes to the locals. Particular emphasis was placed on self defense for women and how to conduct such a class. Alan passed his test for Phase One Instructor and is now a certified IKI Krav Maga instructor. Alan returns to Australia with a depth of knowledge in self defense and a great passion to empower others.
Perth Krav Maga
Constantinos Angelakis, Canberra
Con came to Israel specifically to train in Krav Maga. He arrived with a background in several other martial arts including Muay Thai, which helped him pick up Krav more easily. A hard worker, bright, and determined, Con made great progress.
With a strong sense of his own Greek heritage Con was able to relate to and understand the Israeli/Jewish experience that forms the motivation behind Krav Maga. He has qualified, so far, as a junior instructor.
