About The Founder

Avi Yemini started IDF Training in 2008 as a small one-​on-​one personal training studio after his return from volunteer service as an infantry soldier in the Israel Defence Forces and completion of a personal training certificate with the Australian Institute of Fitness. In 5 short years IDF Training grew into a dedicated self-​defence training centre, with instructors teaching Krav Maga, BJJ, boxing, kickboxing, MMA and FMA and a full weights and fitness gym.

Meet the Business Owner

Avraham Y.

Business Owner

My name is Avraham Yemini (you can call me Avi), and I started IDF Training as a small personal training studio in 2008. After three years in the Golani Brigades of the IDF in Israel, I came back to Australia pretty much obsessed with fitness and as soon as I could, got my qualification as a Personal Trainer at the Australian Institute of Fitness and set out to make a living out of what I loved doing.

Fresh out of army service in Israel with memories of the intense training environment I was a part of, I wanted to continue to a more advanced level of training in Krav Maga but found that the few locations which offered Krav Maga training in Melbourne were nothing like what I had learnt in the IDF. I decided to source some trainers and set up my own authentic Krav Maga centre. After a few dead ends, extensive research and plenty of hard work, I turned IDF Training into a full-​time fitness and self-​defence training centre.
