About Anaheim Krav Maga

Since 2010, Anaheim Krav Maga has been empowering individuals and families throughout Orange County with real-world self-defense skills, unwavering confidence, and a supportive community that feels like family.

Our Story

Coach Ken - Founder of Anaheim Krav Maga

Founded in 2010 by Coach Ken, Anaheim Krav Maga was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to make authentic, practical self-defense accessible to everyone in our community, regardless of age, fitness level, or martial arts experience.

Coach Ken began his martial arts journey at age 7, dedicating over 40 years to mastering multiple disciplines including Krav Maga, San Soo, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. His passion for teaching and genuine care for his students led him to establish a school where people could train in a welcoming, judgment-free environment.

What started as a small training space in Anaheim has grown into a thriving community of over 500 students. Today, we proudly serve families from Anaheim, Yorba Linda, Fullerton, Placentia, Villa Park, and throughout North Orange County.

Our Mission

At Anaheim Krav Maga, our mission is to empower individuals with the skills, confidence, and mindset to protect themselves and their loved ones. We believe that everyone deserves to feel safe and confident in their daily lives.

We achieve this through:

  • Authentic Krav Maga Training: Teaching practical, real-world self-defense techniques that work in actual threatening situations, not just in controlled environments.
  • Expert Instruction: Learning from Hall of Fame instructors with decades of real-world experience and proven teaching methods.
  • Inclusive Community: Creating a supportive, family-friendly environment where beginners feel welcomed and advanced students continue to grow.
  • Character Development: Building mental toughness, discipline, and confidence that extends far beyond the training floor.
  • Fitness & Wellness: Providing high-intensity workouts that improve strength, endurance, and overall physical health.

Our Core Values

Safety First

Every technique we teach prioritizes your safety. We use progressive training methods, proper supervision, and controlled environments to ensure effective learning without unnecessary risk.

Respect & Integrity

We treat every student with dignity and respect. Our instructors lead by example, maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and ethical conduct.

Community & Support

We believe in the power of community. Our students support and encourage each other, creating lasting friendships and a network of like-minded individuals.

Continuous Improvement

We never stop learning and evolving. Our instructors regularly attend seminars, workshops, and training to bring the latest techniques and methods to our students.

What Makes Us Different

Hall of Fame Instructors

Both Coach Ken and Coach Allison have been inducted into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame, a rare honor that recognizes their exceptional contributions to the martial arts community. With over 40 years of combined teaching experience, you're learning from the best in the industry.

Real-World Focus

Unlike traditional martial arts schools that focus on kata, forms, or sport competition, we specialize in practical self-defense for real-world situations. Our training prepares you for actual threats you might face in parking lots, elevators, or public spaces.

Beginner-Friendly Approach

We understand that starting martial arts can be intimidating. That's why we've created a welcoming environment where beginners feel comfortable from day one. No ego, no judgment—just supportive instruction and encouragement at your own pace.

Family-Centered Values

Many of our students train as families. Parents and children train together, creating shared experiences and stronger family bonds. We offer specialized programs for kids (ages 5-14), teens, and adults, all taught with age-appropriate methods.

Convenient Anaheim Location

Located in the heart of Anaheim at 3160 E La Palma Ave, we're easily accessible from Yorba Linda, Fullerton, Placentia, Villa Park, and throughout North Orange County. Our facility features ample parking, clean training areas, and a comfortable environment.

Beyond our training facility, we're committed to giving back to the Anaheim community. Coach Ken regularly volunteers his time to teach self-defense workshops at local schools, community centers, and youth organizations. We've partnered with several schools and PTAs to provide anti-bullying and stranger-danger awareness programs for children.

We also host free women's self-defense seminars throughout the year, empowering women with practical skills to stay safe. Our goal is to make Orange County a safer place, one person at a time.
