About Us

3rd degree Black Belt Kevin Lewis & U.S. Chief Instructor Darren Levine

Kevin,

Knowing you for several decades, training and teaching together, discussing how to best develop awareness and survival tactics and how to build warrior’s mindset, I consider you to be among of the select few in this Country that are the real deal in developing a winning mindset in others, while preparing them psychologically, emotionally and spiritually to overcome and survive a violent confrontation.

I support you 100% in your endeavors and appreciate all the lessons you’ve taught me over all these years. 

You’ve truly helped me build Krav Maga in the US and elsewhere!

Darren Levine, Chief U. S. Instructor Krav Maga.
