What is Krav Maga Global's General Instructor Course (GIC)?

KMG’s Krav Maga General Instructor Course (GIC) is renowned for being the most comprehensive program for civilian Krav Maga Instructors. This Instructor Course produces top-shelf instructors who can effectively train different types of people, regardless of size, age, or starting fitness ability, to be able to use the system for their personal protection and well-being.

The course operates worldwide and is delivered by our highly experienced Global Instructor Team (GIT). The main certification course lasts a total of 180 hours (about 24 days), and is divided into two or three phases. It is designed to develop physical Krav Maga skills as well as the ability to teach others through a comprehensive coaching program. The course concludes with technical, teaching, and physical conditioning exams.

Successful completion of the course is dependent on meeting specific criteria at the end of each phase, as well as passing the final test of physical skills and teaching abilities. The successful candidate will receive a Graduate Grade in Krav Maga and a General Instructor Certification under Krav Maga Global (KMG), authorized by KMG Chief Instructor, Eyal Yanilov.

In addition to the GIC, the Pre-GIC training program will be provided for all qualified applicants. The Pre-GIC is designed to solidify both foundational learning in Krav Maga, as well as hone teaching ability, which is critical to becoming a KMG Instructor. The Pre-GIC program will be a combination of in-person training, feedback, and access to training materials, and starts about 6 months before the GIC. In-person training will be provided in selected cities in mainland China.

Junior Instructor Year. Passing KMG's General Instructor Course (GIC) is not the end, but the beginning of your journey as a Krav Maga educator. In the first year after passing the GIC, newly-graduated Instructors are considered Junior Instructors under KMG. For most, this will be time spent starting up KMG programs in their own schools. During this period, KMG's China headquarters will be checking in on Instructors, including observing their classes and giving feedback as necessary. KMG's China team will work with newly-graduated instructors on improving their classes, problem-solving both technique and teaching issues, and working on school development.

KMG Active Instructor Program. All successful GIC graduates must be a part of the KMG Active Instructor Program to maintain their status as KMG affiliates. Fees for the program are minimal and reasonable, and allow free or discounted access to Instructor opportunities. Below are some of the opportunities and requirements for instructors who are in the Active Instructor Program:

  1. Instructor Updates. All of KMG's Instructors are required to attend instructor updates annually. This ensures that all KMG instructors maintain the same quality of teaching and techniques, and also provides growth and new ideas that will keep their classes fresh and interesting.
  2. Seminars and Events. KMG Instructors will have access to seminars and events organized by KMG's China headquarters.
  3. Grading and Ranking Opportunities. Although there is no hard requirement for Grading after the GIC, we highly encourage Instructors to train and aim for the next level in Krav Maga. Krav Maga is a lifelong journey, and we are constantly improving and learning. KMG will provide instructors with both training opportunities as well as local gradings conducted by KMG's International Team.
  4. School Development Training. Includes media training, first-aid training, school management, communication skills and development, etc. In running a school, these skills are important to maintaining membership and promoting a strong local community.
  5. And Much More... KMG also provides training materials for Instructors only, sample class plans, marketing and seminar support, apparel and merchandise support, and other tools for growth and development.
