In 2011 Bryan and three other instructors formed Israeli Krav NZ which affiliated itself directly with Sensei Moshe Katz and IKI.

Paulina IngPaulina became a Krav Maga instructor in 2010 and describes Krav Maga as her first dedicated combat training despite doing some boxing since she was 13.She enjoys Krav and it's simplicity and ease of learning . One technique can answer many problems and Sensei Moshe Katz's teaching highlights this. "I've gone overseas by myself and can honestly say that with Krav I have been able to enjoy myself that bit more knowing that I didn't need to worry about 'what if' because if something did happen I was confident that I could do something". Paulina's goals are to share Krav Maga with anyone that needs it. "The beauty of Krav I believe is that it can be adapted to anyone whether they be short, tall, big or small. Everyone can do it." Paulina has taught a number of self-defence classes/courses for women only with the goal to empower women to protect themselves and lead a life free from fear. In 2011 she also became an internationally certified Personal Trainer, as well as working full time in Law Enforcement. .
