History & Mission

Established in 2010.

KMI has assembled a team of some of the best instructors from around the globe to teach you Krav Maga, survival and tactical skills, in the comfort of your own home for 5 days only. 

KMI was born in New York City in 2011 to help New Yorkers stay safe and feel confident. We are now re-making KMI, in partnership with the world's leading expert instructors and organizations, for everyone, everywhere. 

KMI is on a mission to world a society in which everyone can walk in peace and fulfill their potential. To do so, education shouldn’t just challenge academically, it should help develop a complete human (physical, mental, emotional, social) because the complex modern world and evolution demands it. We are all different and not  designed to think or live the same way. 

We firmly believe that almost everything is a skill and can be learned, even things we do not traditionally consider to be skills, like self-confidence and self-defense.

Learning an efficient reality-based self-defense system, tactical and survival skills does not have to take years or cost thousands. In fact, if taught in the right way and in a supportive community, you can learn most of what you need to survive in a short space of time. Despite what you might think, the key is understanding then applying the principles after you complete a course as it allows you to continue your development and understanding of what we teach.

Our internationally renowned reality-based self defense, tactical and survival program will prepare for everything life can throw at you. Fitness can add years to your life, self-defense and survival skills can add decades - you will regret nothing.

Our program will kick start your transformation and introduce you to a new way of thinking and living.
