Incredible instructor who knows the right balance of encouragement and challenging his students to get the best out of them. They go above and beyond and are a true partnership in the learning process. They are open and students are encouraged to ask questions and really understand and learn. I highly recommend them no matter your level of understanding you will not be disappointed.
FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Understanding the motivations to do Krav Maga, then explain why does Krav Maga works, and most important make sure the student is comfortable on initiating classes. The idea of Self-Defense being an insurance for life is of most needy one shared. I guess that is also important to see from where our history comes from and our values of respect and courteous feedback. Krav Maga classes are for people that also share strong human values.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a trainers certificate that allows me to teach Krav Maga in any country in the world, I've trained and developed students and instructors in Portugal, Norway, United Kingdom and the United States. My training in Krav Maga started in 2006 and I've reached the black belt in 2014. Prior to that I've trained Karate for 25 years being in the national team and competed in the European and World Championships. More important for the students is that II proceed also the trainer career being a national trainer of trainers. The pedagogical work is nevertheless ended and I believe that each person brings even more to learn.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
See the class, the way that people are doing work, avoid any kind of places where the emphasis is on violence and not technique, check that the teacher did at least 5 years of training within one of the key Krav Maga organizations and ask for the certification. Check the curriculum and see/ask for how does it work in a day to day basis. Remember that the class is for you so the teacher is only an instrument to your success, ego should be out of the class.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
How many days a week should I train, what is the plan and progressions, who are your students, what can you expect in 6 months time of practice.
