Mark started his training in Krav Maga shortly afterwards under Instructor Larry Escher. After a lot of hard work and dedication, Larry recommended that Mark become an instructor and attend the intense Civilian Instructor's Course (CIC).
Upon successfully completing the course, Mark became a Certified Instructor under the watchful eyes of Gabi Noah and Avi Moyal. Gabi and Avi are two of the four masters in the world for the IKMF and Mark is certified by them.
Mark continues to teach Krav Maga as well as teaching and learning other martial arts.

Rebecca O'Connor
Assistant
Rebecca O'Connor entered Texas Krav Maga with no experience, but with a great attitude, plenty of enthusiasm, and a tremendous work ethic.
Within just a few months, both instructors Larry and Mark recommended her to Eyal Yanilov for instructor training. Despite
having the least amount of experience of any of the other 20+ instructor candidates at the Civilian Instructor Course in California,
Rebecca made quite an impression on the course instructors, Eyal Yanilov and Tamir Gilad, and was asked to return for part 2 this summer.
Rebecca continues to train in Krav Maga and kickboxing several times a day and helps run classes at TKM's Katy location.
