About the ECKMF

Already in the nineties the actual chairman Yaacov Giladi and Marcel Dor were studying the possibility of creating an organisation to support dedicated Krav Maga instructors in Europe.

Finally in 2006 they ‘established’ the ECKMF. Supported by Eric Scorba (former French Foreign Legion) they started motivating (ex) military Instructors that had been trained by them while in Europe in the eighties to join the team.

The first non military group was created in 2007 by Luc Van Laere who is now the Chief Instructor of the ECKMF.

Luc Van Laere & Marcel Dor started training new (non military) Instructors in 2008.

The European Commando Krav Maga Federation now sets the new standard for Krav Maga schools in Europe. Our Instructors are dedicated and motivated Krav Maga specialists.

What is the difference between ECKMF Krav Maga and Krav Maga? In fact, there is no difference.

ECKMF Krav Maga has all the Krav Maga techniques but specialises in Military and Law Enforcement application of the system. This specialisation is optional, only Advanced Specialised Instructors offer special (restricted) lessons for military and law enforcement personel.

Important note: We have never been and are still NOT affiliated to the Moni Aizik – ‘CKM’ system or to Moni Aizik himself. Our way of teaching is completely different. Our instructors have NOT been granted a title after a simple seminar but after a real training period, a real instructor course, a 5 – 7 hours lasting exam, an apprentice period of at least 6 months (in most cases a year) and evaluation!
