Darren Levine and KMW National Training Centers™ • Sherman Oaks Featured on CBS2 and KCAL9
Each year, in April, Krav Maga Worldwide™ rallies it’s network of KMW Official Training Centers™ around the world to put on special Rape Prevention Seminars to not only raise public awareness about sexual violence, but to offer life-saving, practical self-defense and rape prevention techniques to the public. 
But, on the heels of the recent release of Krav Maga Worldwide™s new book, “Krav Maga For Women,” co-authored by Chief Instructor Darren Levine, Head Instructor Kelly Campbell, and Ryan Hoover, the focus on Krav Maga Self Defense for women takes center stage a few weeks early.
Tonight, at 11 pm, Krav Maga Worldwide™ Chief Instructor, Darren Levine, and Lead Instructors Mike Burton and Junior Merkle, will be featured on CBS2 in a special broadcast, prepared by Emmy-Award winning journalist Leyna Nguyen, that will focus on practical self defense training for women. The story was filmed at KMW National Training Centers™ • Sherman Oaks, and features footage of classes, female students Jasmine Urdaneta and Cindy Guerrero, and interviews.

Following tonight’s story, Leyna, who anchors the 4 pm and 9 pm newscasts on KCAL9, is set to continue her Krav Maga training with Darren Levine throughout the month of May to prepare for additional Krav Maga self-defense broadcasts. KCAL9 News will feature Leyna performing Krav Maga, live re-enactments of crime scenarios, and self-defense demonstrations. And, the two stations (CBS2 and KCAL9), between now and then, will document her progress. They are going to film her training…all leading up to a big feature that will air in May.
