SERGIO NISENBAUM

Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Sergio Nisenbaum responsible for the Official Krav Maga organization, began his Krav Maga jouney in late 1999. After five years of dedicated training, he distinguished himself as an outstanding student and was identified as a strong candidate for the instructor course. Following a rigorous three-stage selection process—evaluating physical fitness, psychological readiness, and technical proficiency—he was accepted into the instructor training program held in Rio de Janeiro. The course encompassed comprehensive instruction in Krav Maga theory, philosophy, and teaching methodology. After completing 400 hours of intensive training, he graduated in August 2005 as part of the fifth cohort of certified instructors. Since then, he has been teaching students of all ages and conducting specialized training for targeted groups. Krav Maga’s mission is to instill self-confidence and elevate self-esteem, empowering individuals to defend themselves effectively—regardless of physical condition, gender, or age.
