OVERVIEW These programs include detailed physical training, lectures and opportunities for attendees to teach, plan and fully and effectively execute mock lessons. The key is to instruct participants so they can deliver a well-integrated defensive tactics program to their department(s). Attendees who successfully complete the program become certified Krav Maga law enforcement instructors for their respective departments on the material covered and tested. Certification is for a two-year period and entitles officers to instruct all sworn members of their agency in the specific Krav Maga training modules listed on their certificate.

The training areas listed above have been organized into five (5) Instructor Certification Programs, or Series. In addition to the training areas/modules, each Series contain one or more of the following informative lectures:

  1. The Transfer of Knowledge - The Basics of Teaching Safety in Training
  2. Warm-up and Basic Stretching Principles
  3. Dealing With A Violent Confrontation - Improving Our Ability To Function Under Stress
  4. Series of lectures on the technical aspects of the self defense exercises
  5. Training Methods
  6. Report Writing - As Related to Use-of-Force Incidents
  7. How to Conduct A Realistic Defensive Tactics Course Without Creating I.O.D./ "workman's comp" problems

Although some of the subject areas allow for limited review (such as review of combatives), great care has been taken to avoid excessive repetition within each Series, especially in regard to lectures.
