Our approach

Prepared, not paranoid

Safety training does not need to be frightening to be effective. Our seminars give people a clear, calm way to notice problems sooner, make better decisions, and act earlier, long before anything becomes physical.

Every program is built on the same idea: a decision is not a fight. Most of personal safety happens in the moments before trouble starts, when someone recognizes a behavior that does not fit and chooses to step away, speak up, or get help. We teach those moments.

Prepared, not paranoid. So that one may walk in peace.

Kevin L. Lewis

Founder, Krav Maga Hawaii

Kevin Lewis is a U.S. Navy veteran, a 3rd degree black belt, and a personal security and safety educator based in Honolulu. He founded Krav Maga Hawaii to help civilians and professionals recognize danger earlier, make sound decisions, and protect themselves and others responsibly.

Kevin teaches weekly Krav Maga classes for civilians and U-DTAC (Universal Defensive Tactics) training for security officers and executive protection professionals. He is the author of Better Today Than Yesterday: A Practical System for Calm, Clarity, and Daily Progress and the creator of online courses at the Krav Maga Hawaii Academy, including The Aware Citizen and Decision-Making Under Stress.

He is a current NRA Refuse To Be A Victim® instructor. Krav Maga Hawaii is fully insured and can name your venue as an additional insured on request. Past clients include PACARMED.

His approach is calm, ethical, and evidence-based. Audiences leave with simple tools they can use the same day.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do participants need to be fit or have martial arts experience?

No. Most of our seminars are discussion and practice based. Hands-on workshops use simple movements that people of any age, size, or fitness level can learn, and anyone can sit out any part at any time.

Will this frighten our employees or students?

No. We are prepared, not paranoid. Our approach is calm and practical, and we focus on early recognition and good decisions, not worst-case stories. Most people leave feeling more relaxed and confident, not less.

Can you tailor a seminar to our workplace or policies?

Yes. We can align content with your existing safety plan, reporting procedures, and emergency plan, and we can include examples from your setting. Our seminars support your policies; they do not replace them or provide legal advice.

Are you insured?

Yes. Krav Maga Hawaii is fully insured with liability coverage, and we can add your venue as an additional insured.

Where do you deliver seminars?

We are based in Honolulu and deliver on-site across Oahu. Neighbor island and mainland engagements are available, and we offer live virtual sessions for distributed teams.

How far in advance should we book?

Four to eight weeks is ideal, especially for orientation season (August and September) and annual training cycles. We will always try to accommodate shorter timelines.

What happens after the seminar?

Participants can continue with online courses from the Krav Maga Hawaii Academy, or join our Saturday Krav Maga or U-DTAC classes in Honolulu. We can also schedule refreshers or a multi-session series.

So that one may walk in peace.
