BART AXELROD

Bart Axelrod brings an extremely broad martial arts experience to the classroom. As the head Krav Maga instructor at EP Martial Arts, he has been teaching Krav Maga since 2013. He holds a black belt from KAMI, the largest Krav Maga association in Israel, as well as a Level 2 Instructor Certification from The Academic College at Lewinsky Wingate in Israel.

Prior to Krav Maga, Bart trained in a variety of other martial arts, including traditional Okinawan Uechi-Ryu Karate (3rd degree “Sandan” black belt) and Judo (brown belt “Nikyu”). He also trained in Sanda Kickboxing under fellow EP Martial Arts co-founder Ariel Tyre Wesley, as well as Wing Chun Kung Fu.

Outside of martial arts, Bart worked as a 911 paramedic in the Boston area for 12 years and is now retired.
