Champions Krav Maga Academy was founded in 2022 by Max McGregor, 2nd Dan Black Belt under Gendai-Ryu Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu, and a former member of the Australian Defence Force. It was established to provide realistic and effective self-defence training that is designed for real-world applications and everyday situations through Modern Krav Maga. CKMA teaches self-defence so people can be safe, confident, and have the ability to protect themselves and others. Gendai-Ryu, which means “Modern System”, has adopted a multidisciplinary approach to training. It combines multiple martial arts, creating a Mixed Modern Combatives system that creates a versatile, well-rounded, and effective version Modern Krav Maga. Gendai-Ryu Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu’s head of system is Dr. Gavriel Schneider, a 7th Degree Black Belt who is one of Australia’s most experienced self defence instructors, with a PhD in best practice use of force and defensive tactics training methodology. This Modern Krav Maga approach enables us to draw from a variety of proven martial arts systems and integrate the best self-defence techniques into our curriculum. Because there are no rules, mats, or referees in real life situations, we train with a realistic mindset. Gendai-Ryu Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu has been battle tested by Military, Police, Specialised Security and everyday people hundreds of times over the last two decades and has been credited with saving lives on many occasions. The Gendai-Ryu Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu System is the best combination for serious martial artists who want street practical self defense but also want to be rounded and competent martial artists.
