Becoming an
instructor
The training of Krav Maga instructors requires extreme caution and responsibility, as it is a professional activity involving major risks, from those related to physical exercise, including character building and all life risks inherent in teaching an art of self-defense.
The poorly prepared professional poses a danger to his students and to society. The role of the instructor is to teach self-defense techniques, teaching when and how to apply them, developing self-confidence and self-control. By working the body as a tool of attack and defense, aggressiveness is released, directing this energy in a healthy and constructive way. The instructor training process adopted by FSAKM is the same one created by Imi Lichtenfeld (Z “L), the creator of Krav Maga. This is a extremely strict process, as it guarantees the quality and high level of teaching, and the diffusion of the Krav Maga, attentive to the expectations and risks already exposed.
