Eyal Yanilov: Leading Self-Defence and Krav Maga Innovator

You may have wondered, looking at your Krav Maga t-shirt, you is this guy, Eyal Yanilov? Well, he's the mastermind behind Krav Maga Global (KMG).


Eyal Yanilov is not just a master of the art of Krav Maga; he's also one of the key figures responsible for spreading Krav Maga to the world. In fact, he's the founder and head instructor of KMG, one of the largest and most respected Krav Maga organizations in the world.


Eyal has spent more than 40 years studying and practicing Krav Maga. He trained under Krav Maga's founder, Imi Lichtenfeld, and was later appointed as his successor to develop and evolve the system. Eyal has since dedicated his life to spreading Krav Maga and has personally trained thousands of instructors worldwide.


In addition to his work with KMG, Eyal is also a consultant for various military and law enforcement agencies around the world. His knowledge and experience have helped to create specialized Krav Maga programs for soldiers, police officers, and security personnel.
