Who is Eyal Yanilov?

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.

But perhaps most importantly, Eyal is a master teacher who believes that Krav Maga is for everyone. He believes that the system can be adapted to suit anyone, regardless of age, gender, or physical ability. He is committed to making Krav Maga accessible to as many people as possible, and he has a gift for explaining complex techniques in a simple and easy-to-understand way.


At our Krav Maga training center, we are proud to teach the techniques and principles that Eyal has developed over the years. We believe that his philosophy of making Krav Maga accessible to everyone aligns with our own mission of empowering people with the skills and confidence to protect themselves.
