ROY ELGHANAYAN

Roy Elghanayan, the only person to be twice named Israeli Krav Maga National Champion, is recognized worldwide as the preeminent expert in authentic Israeli Krav Maga. Certified by the Israeli Defense Forces and the Military Training base Wingate Institute (Bahad 8) to teach Krav Maga in 2004, Roy’s innovations and skills have earned him the honor of being named the only representative of true Israeli Krav Maga in Los Angeles by Israel’s leading Krav Maga expert, 8th degree Black Belt Master Mati Elyashiv. While serving in the Israeli Special Forces, Roy was hand picked to create a Krav Maga Defense Tactics Program for elite units and divisions that is still in use today. He has also been personally recognized by the 18th Chief of Staff (Dan Halutz) of the Israeli Defense Forces for his abilities in hand to hand combat. REKM is a direct result of all of these achievements and his more than two decades of experience.

In addition to continuing his training and the expansion of his own studio, Roy is also a renowned fight choreographer for film and television. He trained the Oscar nominated actress, Jessica Chastain, for her role as a Mossad agent in “The Debt.” Roy Elghanayan teaches authentic Israeli Krav Maga because he really cares deeply for the experience he can create for his pupils. From the highest quality of instruction and state-of-the-art facilities down to the cleanliness of the locker room and personal attention, Roy believes it is his duty to train what could become the next generation of Krav Maga masters. Roy would like to invite you to come into the dojo and feel first hand the experience that is exclusively REKM.
