How to Find IKMF Krav Maga Locations and Upcoming Events

Updated

IKMF lists its global training network and its event calendar directly on its homepage. Use the OUR LOCATIONS section to find a branch or training contact near you, and the UPCOMING EVENTS section to see scheduled camps, courses, and gradings with their dates and host countries. Both sections link to fuller listings, so the homepage works as a starting point rather than a complete directory.

Finding IKMF Locations

The homepage includes an OUR LOCATIONS block that presents IKMF's presence across different countries. This is the entry point for locating training near you.

What the homepage does not do is resolve your location automatically or show a searchable map. To use it effectively:

  1. Open the IKMF homepage and locate the OUR LOCATIONS section.
  2. Identify the country or region closest to you.
  3. Follow the link from that section to reach the relevant national branch or contact page.

If your country does not appear, the practical next step is to check the events calendar instead — IKMF runs camps and courses in countries that may not host a permanent branch, and those events are open to visiting participants.

Reading the Upcoming Events Calendar

The UPCOMING EVENTS section lists scheduled activities with a start date, an end date, and a host country. The homepage shows a sample of these; SEE ALL EVENTS opens the full calendar.

Events visible on the homepage include:

Event Location Dates
UK Autumn Camp England and Wales 02/10/2026 – 04/10/2026
Practitioner + Graduate Crash Camp Poland 07/10/2026 – 11/10/2026
Kids Instructor Course Germany 07/10/2026 – 11/10/2026
Instructor Training and Grading Germany 16/10/2026 – 18/10/2026
Military Instructor Course Israel 23/10/2026 – 01/11/2026
Instructor Update Greece 24/10/2026 – 25/10/2026

Two things stand out when you read this list. First, the events are not all the same kind of training: some are open camps for practitioners, while others are instructor-level courses and gradings with their own entry requirements. Second, the dates are clustered — several events fall within the same October 2026 window, so if you are choosing between them, check that travel and scheduling do not conflict before committing.

Matching an Event to Your Level

The event title usually tells you who it is for, but the categories matter:

  • Camps (for example, the UK Autumn Camp or the Poland Crash Camp) are typically aimed at practitioners and graduates training together.
  • Instructor courses (Kids Instructor Course, Military Instructor Course) are for people training to teach or certify, not for general students.
  • Gradings and updates (Instructor Training and Grading, Instructor Update) are for existing instructors maintaining or advancing their status.

If you are a beginner looking for a first class, an instructor course is the wrong entry point — look for a local branch through OUR LOCATIONS or a practitioner-level camp instead.

Course Categories to Know Before You Search

The homepage also lists IKMF's training categories, which helps you filter what you are looking for:

  • IKMF Adaptive Krav-Maga
  • IKMF Civilian Instructor Course
  • IKMF Kids Krav
  • IKMF Law Enforcement
  • IKMF Military Instructor Course
  • IKMF VIP Protection
  • IKMF Women Krav Maga

These categories describe different audiences and tracks. A law enforcement officer and a civilian beginner will not be looking at the same course pages, so decide which category fits you before browsing events or locations.

Practical Steps

  1. Go to the IKMF homepage.
  2. Check OUR LOCATIONS for a branch in your country.
  3. Check UPCOMING EVENTS for anything within travel range, noting the dates and host country.
  4. Use SEE ALL EVENTS to see the complete schedule beyond the homepage sample.
  5. Confirm the event type matches your level before registering.

The main limitation to plan around: the homepage shows only a subset of events, and location details are organized by country rather than by proximity to your city. Expect to click through to a national branch or the full events page to get contact details and registration information.
