Krav Maga Worldwide, Inc. (KMW) operates as a public-safety organization focused on Krav Maga-based self-defense, fitness, and fighting. It frames Krav Maga as the official self-defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces, emphasizing instinctive movements, practical techniques, and training scenarios that reflect real-world situations. Founded in 1999 to promote Krav Maga in the United States and beyond, KMW certifies instructors and licenses more than 150 authorized training centers across the United States, Canada, Japan, Mexico, and Europe, and it has trained thousands of law enforcement and military personnel across more than 1,000 government agencies and military forces in the United States.

The organization is headquartered in Sherman Oaks, California, where its HQ Training Centers provide instruction to thousands of participants and support efforts to keep people healthy, fit, and safe. KMW maintains a long-standing relationship with the Krav Maga Association of America (KMAA), and both organizations were founded by Darren Levine, a sixth-degree black belt who trained under Imi Lichtenfeld. In 2023, Krav Maga Worldwide announced a partnership with Youfit Health Clubs to offer Krav Maga, martial arts, and self-defense classes in multiple markets.
