In 1986, he joined the International Krav-Maga Federation and served in a combat unit. His commanders noticed his exceptional abilities and sent him to the prestigious Wingate Institute to receive instructor's training in Krav Maga. After finishing his certification, Danny returned to train other IDF units in Krav Maga and served faithfully until his commitment was fulfilled. When he moved to the Bay Area, his natural passion for fitness and Krav Maga led him to the National Training Center in Los Angeles where he was also certified to teach civilians.

A successful business entrepreneur and instructor, Danny is inspiring on both a personal and professional level.

Nina

Nina is a level five Krav Maga instructor. She has been committed to training in Krav Maga since 2002. While searching for a means of self-defense, she came across Krav Maga and loved the practicality the system teaches for living in a modern day world. She soon excelled in the system and began sparring in Krav Maga Fight classes to broaden her skills. This peaked her interest in fighting as a sport, and she also began training in boxing. Nina earned B.A. and M.A. degrees in Psychology, and also became a certified personal fitness trainer. This has influenced her unique style of teaching Krav Maga in a straight forward approach by integrating the mental and physical aspects that are also involved with learning self-defense and fighting.
