[Professor Victor Vieira MKKM Krav Maga] Having the opportunity to speak with chief instructor of Master Kobi Krav Maga (MKKM) Professor Victor Vieira who is the chief instructor of the MKKM federation has well over 30,000 students internationally was just as much eye opening as it was enlightening. Hailing from Brazil, Professor Victor Vieira came to America with one goal in mind, to expand MKKM Krav Maga while serving as a thought leader that both educated and empowers Americans to have the confidence and the skills necessary to defend themselves from nefarious attackers that seek to cause them harm.
One of the things to like about teaching style of Victor Vieira is that not only does teach America students the proper technique, form, and execution of Krav Maga, but he doesn’t water down the Krav Maga as a self-defense system and thus does a great good at retaining the integrity of Krav Maga self-defense system. Another thing that we found to be remarkable about Victor Vieira is his in-depth and working knowledge of the history, creation, and metamorphosis of Krav Maga over time. During the course of this interview Victor Vieira was able to precisely articulate the vision and the “why” of Creator and Founder Master Kobi.
According to the MKKM website “kravmaga.us”, Professor Victor Vieira:
“Victor Vieira is a Krav Maga Black Belt. His expertise was acquired and certified by Israeli GM Kobi Lichtenstein, 8th Dan Red Belt - introducer of KM in Latin America and prodigious direct student of Imi Lichtenfeld, the founder of the technique.
[Professor Victor Vieira] has over a decade of teaching and demonstrations for civilians and the military, and over two decades of training. [Professor Victor Vieira] Holds knowledge in the use of common objects for self-defense; firearms, knife and club defense, ground techniques, third party protection, expandable baton and tonfa, military and security instruction, as well as other martial techniques.
[Professor Victor Vieira] has Participated in foreign seminars and classes of global Krav Maga authorities from numerous federations; assisted in the organization of the 2010 International KM Congress and Guiness World Record event for the largest ever self-defense class; trained in Brazil, Israel and USA.
[Professor Victor Vieira] was appointed by GM Kobi to introduce MKKM's Krav Maga in the USA. It is currently the largest Krav Maga organization in the world and still presided by GM Kobi, its founder in 1990.”
This says a lot about the dedication, level of integrity over the decades, and skill, Professor Victor Vieira has when it comes to educating the world on the MKKM self-defense system.
