Instructor introduction! Ben is the founder and lead instructor of AMK Krav Maga, and the person behind the launch of AMK Medway.

Ben began training in Krav Maga in 2017 and qualified as an instructor in Israel. In 2023, he opened AMK Krav Maga in Canterbury with one clear aim: to build a proper self-defence training centre for normal people who wanted real skills, better fitness, more confidence and a strong community around them.

Since opening AMK Canterbury, Ben has built a full-time Krav Maga centre delivering adults, teens, kids, ladies-only classes and specialist personal safety events.

Ben is also a BTEC Level 3 qualified self-defence instructor and has delivered personal safety and self-defence training in partnership with organisations including Kent Police, local councils, schools and community groups.

His coaching style is direct, practical and supportive. He believes Krav Maga should be taught with high standards, but without ego. The goal is not perfect-looking technique, the goal is helping people become more capable, more confident and better prepared for real life.

AMK Medway is being built with the same standards, culture and community that have made AMK Canterbury what it is today.

This is not just another class.

We’re building the home of real Krav Maga in Medway.

Founder Member places are open now.

From Head Instructor Ben : "Krav Maga isn't about perfect technique. It never was.⁠
⁠
It's about one thing: can you solve the problem?⁠
⁠
That problem is the threat. And how you solve it depends entirely on who you are. Your age, your fitness, your mobility, your injuries. A slim 20-year-old and a 60-year-old carrying a few extra kilos are not going to respond the same way; and they shouldn't have to.⁠
⁠
There's no one-size-fits-all here at AMK. There's just what works for YOU.⁠
⁠
And that principle doesn't stop at training. It carries through to how we grade our members.⁠
⁠
A grading in Krav Maga shouldn't be purely a technical examination. It shouldn't be about whether your elbow was at the perfect angle or your footwork was textbook. That's martial arts. That's performance. What we're doing is something very different.⁠
⁠
A grading should answer one question: does this person understand the problem they're facing, and can they deal with it effectively given who they are and what they've got?⁠
⁠
That's a much harder thing to assess than technique. It requires me as the examiner to think, not just tick the boxes. It requires the student to understand, not just repeat. And it means that two people can achieve the same grade through completely different means, because they solved the same problem in the way that was right for them.⁠
⁠
That's not lowering the bar. That's setting the right bar.⁠
⁠
Krav Maga, done properly, is intelligent self-defence. It respects the individual. It doesn't ask you to become something you're not, it asks you to become the most capable version of what you already are.⁠
⁠
That's Krav Maga."

No drama. No politics. Just proper training, high standards and respect for the effort you’ve already put in. 🔥

Instructor introduction! Dan is a well known instructor in Medway and we are excited to have him as part of the AMK Medway instructor team. Dan brings a strong mix of self-defence, fitness and practical coaching experience to the club.

Dan began training in Krav Maga in 2016 and qualified as an instructor in 2019. He wanted to learn something practical, non-competitive and effective; something that could help him protect himself and his family in the real world.

Since then, Dan has built a reputation for delivering popular, high-energy classes that combine good quality fitness work, practical Krav Maga, technical precision and a strong emphasis on situational awareness.

Alongside his Krav Maga background, Dan is also a qualified First Aid Instructor, able to deliver accredited, nationally recognised qualifications. He is also trained to deliver several other accredited qualifications, giving him a strong focus on building capable, confident people with skills that have real-world application.

Dan’s classes are known for being challenging, enjoyable and well-balanced. Members can expect to work hard, improve their fitness, sharpen their self-defence skills and leave feeling like they have genuinely progressed.

At AMK Medway, Dan will play an important role in delivering strong, practical classes that help members build confidence, fitness, awareness and real-world self-defence ability in a supportive training environment
