You already train. The Academy certifies you to transmit it — under doctrine, on the record, inside a lineage that runs back to Imi Lichtenfeld.
What every instructor under the Academy standard is measured against.
Trained instinct. You can only surprise someone once — drill the read until it is reflex.
Scientific and street-true. Nothing survives that does not work under pressure.
Three techniques, one thousand reps. Depth beats inventory.
Initiative, decisive action. The instructor sets the tempo of the room.
Master Jyrki Saario created Defendo, took a Krav Maga black belt from Imi Lichtenfeld himself, and carried Classic Krav Maga to the Nordics. In 2024 he handed the chain to Master Instructor István Nagy. You don't inherit a logo — you join a transmission.
Switch the active track in the top bar — the primary signal, gauges, and readouts re-skin across the whole page.
Defendo runs cyan, Kickboxing runs amber, Safe Kid runs lime — every accent on the page follows the live track.
CH-01Real-world readiness and control — the doctrine pole.
CH-03Stand-up coaching — range, timing, output from the corner.
CH-02Leading children with structure and warmth — a program you build.
Five ranks, five lit channels. Each rung shows what the credential unlocks. Select a rank to bring its channel online.
"We don't certify people who can fight. We certify people who can make others ready — and stand behind the record."
