Growing up in a western suburb of Paris, I developed a strong interest in fitness and fighting sports. From karate to kickboxing, sport became essential for both my body and my mind. For me, training became simply a way of life.

HOW I DISCOVERED KRAV MAGA AND BECAME AN IKMF LEAD INSTRUCTOR

Years ago, I discovered Krav Maga. Growing up in my neighborhood and living the lifestyle that I did, I used to get into a lot of trouble. At a young age, I got to know what it is to fight and what street violence really is. When years after I discovered Krav Maga, I had a complete blast and was impressed by how effective, easy to learn and realistic it is.

Krav Maga is a self-defense method that was originally developed by Hungarian born Imi Lichtenfeld for Israeli military forces. He founded the IKMF (International Krav Maga Federation) and adapted the military version of Krav Maga, in order to make it easy to teach it to civilians. Krav Maga merges components of aikido, wrestling, judo, boxing and karate and is highly effective in real world situations.

In 2017, I graduated as an IKMF Krav Maga instructor, and in 2019, I evolved into a Lead Instructor. I am also very proud to have founded my own Krav Maga training school, Cityskills Krav Maga Berlin that offers Krav Maga training in English in Berlin Kreuzberg, for mean women and kids.
