Krav Maga Instructors South Africa

Tony Hardy, Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal

I began Martial Arts training in 1988; after achieving a 2nd Dan in GoJu Ryu Karate, I dabbled in full contact Karate before starting Kickboxing where I obtained a Black Belt as well. Although I competed successfully for a number of years in Karate, Kickboxing and full contact Karate, my emphasis was more on the traditional elements of the styles.

Taught Karate for over 5 years where my passion for sharing this knowledge was born. Other Martial Arts I have been exposed to include Kendo, Wing Chun and Ju-Jitsu.

Working in the security industry for 5 years I had many opportunities to combat test techniques, identifying those that work from those that are less than effective or only effective in certain situations… I soon discovered that a large percentage of traditional techniques aren’t practical. I was also frustrated by the amount of time required to convey skills to students looking for an expedient solution to self preservation needs… I believe that ongoing development and improvement is essential in an environment that is constantly changing and adapting... for me... this is the space filled by Krav Maga
