Krav Maga's Largest Networks (2026)

Unlike many martial arts, Krav Maga is a certified system — and that shows up on the map as real certifying networks. Krav Maga Worldwide, IKMF, KMG, Krav Maga Alliance, Alpha Krav Maga and Commando Krav Maga link schools across the country under a shared curriculum and certification. Here's the league table from our directory, and the equally useful question it points to: what else do these schools teach? Updated 2026-07-19.

The certifying-network league table

These are the multi-location Krav Maga networks we can identify by school name and certification across the 968 schools in the directory, ranked by how many locations each runs. A network is more than a logo in Krav Maga — it signals a shared curriculum, level standards, and certified instruction, which is why so many schools carry one.

#NetworkLocations in directory
1 Krav Maga Worldwide 7
2 Israeli Krav Maga 7
3 Alpha Krav Maga 6
4 Commando Krav Maga 3
5 Krav Maga Federation 2
6 Krav Maga Alliance 1
7 Krav Maga Global (KMG) 1

Even so, most schools stay independent: 941 — 97.2% of the directory belongs to no known network. And a well-known network is a starting point, not a guarantee — every school is still its own room and its own instructor, so how to choose a school (certification, instructor experience, culture, class vibe) matters as much as the name over the door.

What else do Krav Maga schools teach?

Krav Maga schools are rarely single-style. 67.8% of them also train at least one other martial art, an average of 2.5 other disciplines each — many American Krav Maga schools are really full striking-and-self-defense houses. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the most common companion art, on the schedule at 45.2% of schools.

How many arts under one roof?

Counting Krav Maga plus every other art a school trains, the typical school is a small multi-art house, not a one-style studio. The most common profile is a school teaching Krav Maga plus 0 other arts. Only 312 schools show Krav Maga on its own so far — and some of those simply haven't had their full schedule surface in our crawl yet.

Other arts taught (besides Krav Maga)Schools
Krav Maga only (so far) 312
+ 1 other art 187
+ 2 other arts 191
+ 3 other arts 133
+ 4 other arts 90
+ 5 other arts 47
+ 6 other arts 8

These are evidence floors — a school counts an art only once its website or a reviewer names it — so single-art counts shrink as the crawl fills in.

Methodology: network assignment comes from school names and their brand sites; a school is "independent" unless it clearly belongs to a known certifying network. The disciplines mix is mined from each school's website and its customer reviews — a discipline counts only when named in the school's own copy or a reviewer's words, never guessed from the business category — so all shares are floors that grow with each re-crawl of our 968-school directory. Share = schools teaching that art ÷ all directory schools. We are not affiliated with any school or network. More data: the stats hub and America's Krav Maga capitals.
