TSKM is one of New Zealand's longest-serving full-time self-defence training schools, offering the most experienced Krav Maga instruction in NZ since 2008 through our certification and recognition by Protect Academy in Jerusalem, with world-renowned Krav Maga, Security and Counter Terrorism expert Dr. Itay Gil - as seen on History Channel's 'Human Weapon' and BBC UK 'Special Forces Ultimate Hell Week'.
TSKM also offer Filipino Kali (Escrima/Arnis) training, a weapon-based Martial Art that has an emphasis on developing skills with long and short weapons plus empty-hand techniques. We offer Kali under the blessing and guidance of Senior Instruction direct from the famed Dan Inosanto Academy (contemporary of Bruce Lee) in Los Angeles, California.
The Krav Maga we offer is a self-defence system considered by many professionals to be the most pressure-tested version of Krav Maga in the world. It is a life-saving skill, which teaches threat neutralization, tactical maneuvers, and physical/mental empowerment. Originally developed in Eastern Europe around WW2 to teach effective unarmed defence skills against the Nazis, today it is a highly trusted self-defence system taught to many governments and civilians around the world.
TSKM is led by Chief Instructor Wilson Sze - trained and qualified as Master Instructor under Dr. Itay Gil - he is the NZ Representative for F.I.M.A. the leading global non-political Krav Maga federation. We are certified to provide Krav Maga training to security, law enforcement, military, and civilians alike in accordance with NZ self-defence law.
