KMA Force
KMA Force is the law enforcement and training division of the Krav Maga Alliance. Recognizing that the need of law enforcement and military units are vastly different from civilian self defense — and different from one another — we provide training specific to the needs of law enforcement and military personnel.
KMA Force law enforcement programs are taught exclusively by Krav Maga instructors who are also full time law enforcement officers. KMA Force military programs are run by Krav Maga instructors with military combat training and experience.
We provide both “train the trainer” and end user courses, and all our training modules are customizable to suit the needs of the individual agency.
Krav Maga was originally developed for military and law enforcement use in Israel, based on combat and violence encountered by personnel in that setting. Because policies and tactics differ in the United States and in other countries, we work hard to adapt Krav Maga techniques to the needs of individual agencies while maintaining the efficient, effective nature of the Krav Maga system.
Krav Maga has been adopted by hundreds of U.S. law enforcement agencies because it is simple, effective, and adaptable for agents of all ages and abilities.

Krav Maga Alliance is composed of Krav Maga schools, instructors, and students dedicated to improving themselves and each other through realistic training and the continuous exchange of ideas. We have affiliates all over the world, from Australia to Italy. We provide training, certification, and ongoing to support in all aspects of Krav Maga training. We provide curricula, lesson plans, and monthly updates with new training drills and scenarios to our affiliates.
The Krav Maga Alliance was created by John Whitman, a sixth degree black belt in Krav Maga. John is the former president of Krav Maga Worldwide, and earned instructor degrees from the Krav Maga Association of America, Krav Maga Worldwide, and the prestigious Wingate University in Israel. He is the only person to have earned a Senior Instructor diploma from Wingate. He has trained thousands of civilians and hundreds of law enforcement and military personnel, including the Air Force’s Office of Special Investigations Antiterrorist Specialty Team. John is the co-author of COMPLETE KRAV MAGA and KRAV MAGA FOR BEGINNERS. He was a leading participant in the creation and refinement of the Instructor Training Program used by Krav Maga Worldwide, a program he headed for 7 years.
