Poway’s slogan is The City in the Country.  And as its motto suggests, Poway is located on the outskirts of the city of San Diego in the middle of San Diego county.  A small town with a population nearing 50,000, Poway’s residents often look for fun and exciting activities to pass their time.

Krav Maga is the worlds’ leading form of self defense.  It is practiced by civilians, law enforcement and military personnel whose primary goal is to learn how to protect themselves and others while staying active and engaged in a fun and exciting activity.

Poway’s Krav Maga classes are taught from a local Crossfit facility.  The two instructors teaching Krav Maga San Diego Poway are certified through the International Krav Maga Federation headed by Avi Moyal, a former student of Eyal Yanilov who is the world’s authority on Krav Maga.  Poway’s Krav Maga program has been around for a few years and until very recently has been affiliated with Krav Maga San Diego, one of San Diego’s largest Krav Maga programs headquartered in La Jolla, California.  After the decision was made for IKMF Krav Maga Poway location to break away from the San Diego base, the Poway program benefited from greater flexibility of class structure, class syllabus and focused its training on fitness and martial arts for kids and adults.

Poway residents seeking solid Krav Maga training can enjoy the benefit of having an Israeli certified Krav Maga location at their doorsteps.  However, people seeking a Krav Maga school with a more direct link to Eyal Yanilov, can benefit from the proximity of a Krav Maga Global school named Impact Krav Maga Self Defense, based in North Park, San Diego.  Impact is the only school in the San Diego County whose instructors are directly certified by Eyal Yanilov and continue their training and testing under Eyal, the direct professional descendant to Mr. Lichtenfeld, the founder of the system.  Impact was established in 2011 and is one of the first and is still one of the few schools in the United States to be directly affiliated with Master Yanilov and Krav Maga Global. A lot of Impact’s students travel from as far as Poway, Carlsbad, and even Ramona to enjoy the most advanced Krav Maga training San Diego County has to offer.
