SERGIO NISENBAUM
Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Sergio Nisenbaum is a leading figure in the Official Krav Maga Organization. He began his Krav Maga journey in late 1999 and, through five years of committed training, quickly stood out as an exceptional student. Recognized for his potential, he was selected as a strong candidate for the instructor course. Following a demanding three-stage selection process, assessing physical fitness, psychological preparedness, and technical skill, Sergio was accepted into the instructor training program in Rio de Janeiro.
The course included in-depth instruction in Krav Maga’s theory, philosophy, and teaching methodology. After completing over 400 hours of rigorous training, he graduated in August 2005 as part of the fifth cohort of certified instructors. Since then, Sergio has taught students of all ages and led specialized training programs for specific groups. His work reflects Krav Maga’s core mission: to build confidence, raise self-esteem, and empower people of all backgrounds and physical conditions to defend themselves effectively.
Since beginning my Krav Maga journey, I’ve never looked back. With over 25 years and countless
hours of dedicated training, it has become more than a discipline; it’s a core part of who I am.
