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 translates to “Modern System” and has adopted a multidisciplinary training approach by integrating multiple martial arts together, forming a Mixed Modern Combatives system to create a versatile, well-rounded and effective version of Modern Krav Maga. Dr. Gavriel Schneider is the head of Gendai­Ryu KravMaga & Jiu–Jitsu’s system. He is a 7th degree Black Belt and one of Australia’s most skilled self-defense instructors. He also has a PhD in best-practice use of force and defensive tactics training methodology. Modern Krav Maga allows us to draw on a variety proven martial arts systems and incorporate the best self-defence methods into our curriculum. We train with a realistic mindset and approach, because there are no mats, rules or referees in real-life scenarios. Over the past two decades, Gendai-Ryu Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu have been tested by military, police, specialised security and everyday people hundreds of time. It has been credited for saving many lives. Today, the Gendai-Ryu Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu System provides the very best mix for serious martial artists who want to learn street practical self defence but also strive to become rounded and capable martial artists.
