The Krav Maga Alliance is excited to announce the addition of Ernie Van Gorp from The Netherlands to the Alliance Training Team!  Ernie is a Krav Maga black belt with 12 years of military experience.  He also a law enforcement officer responsible for training other officers in arrest and control, firearms, special tactics, and use of force.  In addition, Ernie has a bachelor of arts in education, making him the perfect candidate for the Training Team.

I was very impressed by Ernie during a recent advanced training session in Europe. Not only is he extremely talented physically, he has excellent knowledge both of Krav Maga and other systems.  He is not just a good Krav Maga instructor, he is an exceptionally smart one, and he brings years of experience to his teaching. I am sure that new instructors will benefit from working with him.

With Ernie working in the Netherlands, the Krav Maga Alliance will be able to offer more certification courses in Europe.  In addition to the regular certifications, we will offer several FREE training seminars for instructors each year. These seminars will guarantee that the quality of Alliance teaching remains very high.

Look for a COMPLETE CALENDAR of training courses in northern Europe coming soon!

I will still be involved, of course!  The Krav Maga Alliance has an "open door" policy, and ALL affiliates in Europe will communicate directly with me any time they want to.  We do not want to put any barriers between the affiliates and the Alliance.  Also, I will come out to test all instructors for several levels of certification, and to give seminars in Europe. In addition, I will continue to make several trips each year to Italy, to train with all their instructors.

If you get a chance, please send Ernie an email of congratulations at info@impactkravmaga.nl.
