Champions Krav Maga Academy was founded in 2022 by Max McGregor, 2nd Dan Black Belt under Gendai-Ryu Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu, and a former member of the Australian Defence Force. It was established to provide realistic and effective self-defence training that is designed for real-world applications and everyday situations through Modern Krav Maga. At CKMA, we teach self-defence to keep people safe, become confident, and have the skills and capabilities to protect themselves and others. Champions Krav Maga Academy is affiliated with Gendai-Ryu Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu. Gendai-Ryu translates to “Modern System” and has adopted a multidisciplinary training approach by integrating multiple martial arts together, forming a Mixed Modern Combatives system to create a versatile, well-rounded and effective version of Modern Krav Maga. Gendai-Ryu Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu’s head of system is Dr. Gavriel Schneider, a 7th Degree Black Belt who is one of Australia’s most experienced self defence instructors, with a PhD in best practice use of force and defensive tactics training methodology. Modern Krav Maga allows us to draw on a variety proven martial arts systems and incorporate the best self-defence methods into our curriculum. Because there are no rules, mats, or referees in real life situations, we train with a realistic mindset. Gendai-Ryu Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu has been battle tested by Military, Police, Specialised Security and everyday people hundreds of times over the last two decades and has been credited with saving lives on many occasions. The Gendai-Ryu Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu System is the best combination for serious martial artists who want street practical self defense but also want to be rounded and competent martial artists.
