F H Havinga
Righteous Warrior Krav Maga.
Kempton Park & Boksburg, and Montana Pretoria Gauteng
F H Havinga, Full Instructor, 3rd dan Black Belt
Kempton Park, Gauteng, South Africa
Growing up in a hostile environment the need arose for FH to defend himself. He was introduced to a Bruce Lee movie by his cousin, this inspired him to enter into the world of Eastern Martial Arts (Japanese and Chinese) as a means of self-defence. After more than ten years of practicing martial arts and being exposed to various forms he discontinued it due to personal and religious reasons. He did his compulsory military service and afterwards studied in the fields of Theology, Psychology and the Paramedical field.
He was actively involved as a Trauma therapist for the emergency services, metropolitan police and the South African police service (hostage negotiation teams) as a specialized volunteer. In 1997 he was approached by the South African Police Service to join a specialised investigative unit, where he is still involved as a specialized reservist; in the training and supporting of detectives and members of the SAPS. He continues working with the traumatised individuals on a daily basis.
Being confronted with trauma and crime on a regular basis, he realized that civilians, individuals, groups, families and organizations are desperately in need of a self-defence system that is realistic, easy to learn and reality based. Eastern martial arts will just not cut it for the average person on the street. It was in his search for a suitable system that he was introduced to Krav Maga.
After practicing and observing various schools of Krav Maga, he decided on Israel Krav International's system as it is (in his opinion) the most effective and simplistic system in the Krav Maga community, Keeping up with the worldwide trends to defend against violent attacks. In the words of Master Moshe Katz: "The Israeli Krav International system, is the perfect system for imperfect people."
FH Havinga fully embraced IKI due to its philosophy, values and principles. He believes that each person should fulfill his God given purpose on earth and change his generation in his lifetime.
“May we all walk in peace and be good citizens” – Imi Lichtenfeld.

tony hardy - Contact Combat Academy
Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal
Associate Instructor, Second dan black belt,
"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 6 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"
On August 5, 2014, Tony was promoted to Associate Instructor and is fully recognized as an IKI instructor.
In July 2013 Tony organized the first ever IKI Krav Maga seminar in Durban. At the conclusion of the intensive three day seminar, and after many years of training, Tony was promoted to the rank of IKI Krav Maga Black Belt.
August 2016 Promoted to Second dan black belt in IKI.
Tony has now hosted five multiple day seminars in Durban.

Anthony Segal
Sadly, Anthony, loving known as Ant, left this world suddenly. He was a dedicated and devoted instructor, loved by his students and he, in turn loved them.
He is missed.
His legacy in Krav Maga is being continued by his dedicated students and Instructor Rob.
May his memory be for a blessing.

Burnet Jonker, Assistant Instructor (2nd level)
Johan Grabe, Alberton
Apprentice Instructor
I grew up on a farm near a small town called Standerton. With the state of violence towards the farmers in SA it led me to IKI Krav Maga, a system that can be taught and remembered and I can do my part in saving their lives.
I did a little Karate in the late 90's. I decided to focus on Krav Maga and do the best I can to strive to perfection.
I did security and first armed response for four years between 2006 and 2010
I started Krav in 2014 and studied through the ranks to become an instructor.
NIRIN GANDA, Assistant Instructor, Black Belt second dan
I have always been interested in martial arts ever since I could walk. I 've dabbled with karate and amateur boxing and currently Chinese Kickboxing.
As curiosity would have its way as soon as I turned 18 I started visiting some of South Africa s most dangerous towns and cities. Being directly involved with all kinds of dangerous people I realized that my current training in karate and boxing would not suffice.
I than came across IKI Krav Maga and realized that this is what I have been looking for most of my life.
My self assurance and confidence has heightened from the techniques I 've learned from IKI Krav Maga.

Nirin has been practicing Krav Maga for just over 6 years, '”I encountered Krav Maga for the first time as a No Rules self-defence and combative system, I was immediately hooked". Before Krav Maga, Nirin practiced Boxing and Chinese Kickboxing I strongly believe that Krav Maga is a relatively easy-to-learn and well-rounded system for both men and women, increasing your ability to observe your surroundings & letting go of fear in any altercation because of solid muscle memory training and keen observance Nirin focuses his training for Men & Women over the age of 13
