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. 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.
