S.M.A.R.T. Krav Maga (Strong. Motivating. Advanced. Reality. Training. Krav Maga) is the official name for Amnon Darsa’s school and organization. As an Elite organization with high standards of training and accreditation, we follow a strict and fair process of acceptance in order to provide quality service. Amnon Darsa seeks to work with individuals whose goal is to learn, develop, and understand Krav Maga. Certificates will be given through S.M.A.R.T. KM.
Be SMART…
There are two meanings behind S.M.A.R.T. Krav Maga.
Firstly, SMART relates to the approach itself:
We thrive on doing everything in a smart way and focus on the instructors. If the instructor is pleased with what he is receiving and both sides are in agreement over their working relationship, the ties will continue to evolve. A SMART KM instructor benefits not only from the tools and knowledge but receives opportunities for an additional profit when organizing courses, seminars and testing. From the organizational side, instructors are presented with an effective way to register students for testing and monitor their progress and levels.
Secondly, S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym that stands for:
Strong: short, direct techniques built on natural movement, not choreography.
Motivating: instructors push every student toward the best version of their own training.
Advanced: teaching methods are updated as the system evolves, not left to sit unchanged.
Reality: drills stay grounded in situations that actually happen, not competition rules.
Training: consistent, structured practice with instructors who keep training themselves.
All students and instructors are welcome internationally with the understanding that as a part of S.M.A.R.T. KM you remain an active member of the organization and not just a part of a system that provides a connection to Israel. As an instructor you are expected to continue your training and following up with Amnon Darsa at least 4 days/year, organize student seminars during the year and promote the organization for mutual purpose of development (sending students to different instructor courses).
