Krav Maga
Levine is the founder of the Krav Maga Association of America and Krav Maga Worldwide.
In 1981, Levine was selected as part of the first group outside of Israel to train in Krav Maga. While training in Israel, Levine was befriended by Krav Maga founder Imi Lichtenfeld. In 1982, Lichtenfeld traveled to Los Angeles to stay with Levine and continue his training. Levine is one of only two recipients of a Krav Maga Founder’s Diploma awarded by Lichtenfeld before his death in 1998. At the time, Levine was the highest ranking instructor in the United States, and had training centers in West Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, and Philadelphia. Levine holds a 6th degree black belt in the Krav Maga.
His wife, Marni Levine was very influential in expanding Krav Maga Worldwide, particularly the Krav Maga Youth program, Km-X. She died on August 31, 2006, after a long fight against cancer.
Darren Levine is the co-author with John Whitman and Ryan Hoover of Complete Krav Maga, Black Belt Krav Maga, and Krav Maga for Beginners.
