About Krav Maga

Krav Maga is the official fighting system of Israeli Defense Forces and Mossad. Forged from the flames of WWII, it is the only combat discipline created to kill Nazis. In short, it is the fastest way to end a fight and the fastest way to get fit.

QCFC is a Krav Maga studio, but also the headquarters of Atlas Krav Maga, where instructors are trained and certified to teach our system. If you’re looking for the best Krav Maga, look no further.

In addition to teaching at QCFC, Molotov has started several Krav Maga schools, trained and taught in six countries, been published in books and magazines, and won numerous awards. He is also a Black Belt, a U.S. Martial Arts Hall of Famer, and an all-around nice guy.
