KRAV HAGANAH INSTRUCTOR ( KHI )

136 Instructional Hours

3 weeks

Course Overview

This program of study will equip the student to teach this method of defensive tactics, as well as give them the tools for starting a successful martial arts business.

 

Students successfully completing this program of study will be ready to teach courses in Krav Haganah as an instructor for their own business or as an instructor for others. Perspective job opportunities may include law enforcement defensive tactics instructors, military or security defensive tactics instructors and civilian schools.

 

Candidates for this program should be self-motivated entrepreneurs and should have a passion for teaching others.

​

This martial arts method is the creation of our Founder, Doron Benbenisty, who saw a great need for a modernization of techniques against threats and attacks used in the world today. He developed the method while serving in the IDF and used them against suicide bombers and other terrorist threats. This method was later organized into what CRI uses and instructs today. The style is very easy to learn and apply and is also extremely effective against multiple types of attacks, both armed and unarmed.

​

Given the hands-on nature of this program, it must be taught in-person and not online. We have broken the program up into three levels that can be taken all at once, or broken up weekly, in order to allow more students to attend and at their own pace.
