Tom, KMI instructor

Started at KMI in 2014 at 48, one class a week. Fully certified instructor; finds coaching adult beginners most rewarding.

Tom was new to Krav Maga when he joined KMI NYC in April 2014 at age 48. At first, his body could take only one class per week. Seven months later, he was 30 pounds lighter and taking a minimum of four classes per week.

Tom progressed deliberately through the Practitioner levels to Graduate level, striving for excellence over rank. Tom completed KMI's Assistant Instructor Development Program, and then trained extensively for a period of years under Danny Zelig and Patrick Lockton to earn his full Krav Maga Instructor Certification.

Tom teaches beginners to instructors, but he finds coaching our adult beginners and folks recovering from trauma most rewarding. With them, he feels he can have the greatest impact and meet the greatest need. Tom continues to learn and grow personally while instilling the Krav Maga principles, the KMI mindset and its life lessons with each class.
