Since 2000, Krav Maga has generated interest from local TV, newspaper and radio outlets such as Fox 4 Good Day and the Dallas Morning News.

Nationally, Krav Maga has generated a great amount of publicity from media outlets such as NBC, ABC, CNN, Today, Extra, Fox News, Time Magazine, In Style, USA Today, The History Channel, The Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel and others.

Plus, there’s the Hollywood connection--celebrities such as Shannon Elizabeth, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Christian Bales, Jennifer Lopez and others have trained in Krav Maga both for fitness and to hone their self-defense skills for movies.

And you may have noticed that as Krav Maga grows in the US, it’s popping up more and more in main-stream media.
