Krav Maga Instructors Course

Train with Tony Cohen, and learn military-level Krav Maga techniques. Enrollment is available to select individuals on an invitation basis.

This 30 hour course is designed to teach students to be able to understand, demonstrate, and instruct others in the education standards of military Krav Maga as taught by Imi Lichtenfeld to IDF recruits in the 70-80s.

Coaching methodology allows students to teach, practice with, and coach their loved ones. There will be various levels of certification based upon application during the entire course. As students learn they coach, and vice versa.

What do those 30 hours entail?

1. Learn the three foundations, and history of Krav Maga
2. Learn about pressure points executions on the human body
3. Learn how to break free from multiple hold/choke situations
4. Learn hand striking/kicking techniques
5. Learn to defend against knives/pistols
6. Learn to break down techniques into steps, in order to provide accurate and repeatable instructions to others.

This course is not for the faint of heart. You will be asked to push your personal understanding of your physical, hormonal, and mental bodies.

Read a student’s testimonial of her journey through the 30 hours:

SO excited to have successfully completed 5 grueling days of the Level 1 Instructors Course through 1947 Krav Maga

If asked to describe the entire course, it should be known that this ended up being way more than just “learning krav maga,” so I’ll share here as I did with the 4 other amazing people I shared this journey with:

“All good things come to an end, but can also just be the start of something incomparable. Hard to sum up the last 5 days in just 100 words.

Sure, I can go on about technique, breathing, and how to severely injure someone and protect yourself, but am taking away so much more than that. I learned so much more about myself than I expected. Had this been a few months ago, I would have bowed out within the first couple days with an excuse to stay home and lick my wounds and convince myself I did good because I tried.

But half-assed is NOT okay, and no longer will be!!! Half-assed won’t help if you or someone’s life is ever on the line!!! As torn up, battered, and bruised as we ended up, it was awesome because we are more knowledgeable and stronger than when we first started. It’s truly not an end, but a beginning of a stronger, confident, and more capable you.

Thank you all for encouraging and pushing me to do more than I ever thought possible … feeling trauma bonded to y’all!!! Congratulations on a job well done and title well earned. Thank you Tony for sharing your experiences and expertise with us!!!

We came, we conquered, we learned, we kicked ass, had our asses kicked and handed to us, and we grew!!! Look out world, here we come … better not pull on my ponytail!!!”
