Meet Randall Koch

Today we’d like to introduce you to Randall Koch.

Hi Randall, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started my martial arts training in 1982 at the age of five in the art of Taekwondo in Twin Falls, Idaho. I eventually became a 4th degree black belt as well as a national class competitor in Taekwondo. I started my martial arts teaching career as a part-time Taekwondo instructor from 1991-1993 while I was in high school. This led to me teaching Taekwondo full-time starting in 1994. From 1995 to 2009 I owned and operated my own martial arts school in Newport, Oregon. I completed my first level of Krav Maga instructor certification in 2001. I’m currently a black belt and Expert 5 certified instructor through Krav Maga Worldwide and have over 20 years of teaching experience in this Israeli self-defense and fighting system. I’ve owned and operated my Krav Maga Worldwide Certified Training Center in the Pompano Beach/Fort Lauderdale area since 2010. I’ve also earned a 2nd degree black belt in American Kenpo Karate, a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and am certified as a civilian TASER trainer.

My primary goal is for my students to know how to truly protect themselves in today’s chaotic world while being more confident and physically fit.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Absolutely not. My professional career, just like my personal life, has been two steps forward/one step back. But I have to keep reminding myself to just keep “putting one foot in front of the other” and learn from my setbacks. Failures are opportunities to learn and grow. Keeping my Krav Maga training center in business during COVID the past year and half as been a great example of forcing me to adapt and continue improving.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Whether you are big or small, male or female, young or old, you can use Krav Maga to protect yourself while getting in the best shape of your life!

Krav Maga is the official self-defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces. It offers you an easy-to-learn yet highly effective self-defense system that emphasizes instinctive movements, practical techniques and realistic training scenarios.

We offer the highest quality Krav Maga and Reality-Based Self-Defense instruction in South Florida.

All classes are taught by Certified Instructors through Krav Maga Worldwide™, an organization that teaches authentic Krav Maga and is led by Chief Instructor Darren Levine who earned his Black Belt from Imi Lichtenfeld, the man who created and developed Krav Maga for the Israel Defense Forces.

We currently offer group classes seven days a week as well as semi-private lessons, private lessons, and open gym times from 6:00AM in the morning – 10:00PM at night, seven days a week.

Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
I’m constantly looking to improve our curriculum and training methods so our students will learn the most effective self-defense and fighting techniques to keep them safe while giving them a positive and enjoyable training experience. This process of evolving never ends with me. Never.
