What is KMTA (Krav Maga Training Academy)?

Updated

KMTA (Krav Maga Training Academy) is a Krav Maga self-defence school based in Brisbane, Australia. Established in March 2005, it describes itself as the biggest and most active Krav Maga school in Australia, and it operates as a member of the International Krav Maga Federation (IKMF). If you are looking for Krav Maga training in Brisbane — for yourself, your children, or a group — KMTA is one of the established options, with classes in Brisbane City and Brisbane Mount Gravatt.

What KMTA offers

KMTA's training is organised around different audiences rather than a single general class:

  • Adult Krav Maga — including long classes
  • Kids Krav Maga — kids and junior classes
  • Women-only training
  • Law Enforcement Krav Maga
  • Military Krav Maga
  • Personal Training and small-group or corporate sessions

The school states it has international specialisations across Adults, Women's, Kids, Adaptive, Law Enforcement, and Military Krav Maga, and that its instruction comes from the Southern Hemisphere's only elite Global Team member, with five world-experts on staff.

Where KMTA trains

KMTA lists two class locations, both in Brisbane:

Location Area
Brisbane City ('Gabba) Brisbane Central
Brisbane Mount Gravatt Brisbane Southside

Class locations and times are published on the KMTA website, so the current schedule is the place to confirm which venue runs which class.

Who KMTA is a good fit for

KMTA suits people in Brisbane who want structured, term-based Krav Maga instruction and prefer a school affiliated with an international federation (IKMF). It is also a reasonable starting point if you want a women-only class, want to enrol a child, or need a one-off workshop for a workplace or group. If you cannot commit to a full term, the site points to personal training, small groups, and corporate sessions as alternatives to regular classes.
