Online, January 18, 2010 (Newswire.com) - MISSION VIEJO, Calif. (January 15, 2010) -Krav Maga of Orange County, the first Krav Maga training Center of Orange County announces the Grand Opening of their South County facility on Thursday, January 21, 2010. Eyal Yanilov will be on hand for the Grand Opening ceremonies. This is a rare chance for Krav Maga enthusiasts to meet the IFMF Head Instructor.

Eyal Yanilov (born in 1959) studied Krav Maga under the personal tutelage of its founder, Imi Sde-Or (Lichtenfeld); 
and has served as the Grand master's closest assistant and foremost disciple since the early 1980s. Active in this field 
since 1974, he is now its most senior instructor. Mr. Yanilov is the only individual who carries the highest grade ever 
given by Imi (Master level 3/Expert level 8) and holds the unique "Founder's Diploma of Excellence" (This diploma was 
given only to two persons, the other - one of Eyal's students, Mr. Darren Levine, Expert level 6, of the United States).
Eyal Yanilov started his Krav Maga training with Mr. Eli Avikzar (one of Imi's top students at the time) and soon after- 
wards began to study directly with the founder himself. At an early age, Eyal was instructing at the training studio that 
Imi had entrusted to Eli Avikzar, and on many occasions assisted and substituted for the Grandmaster in lessons and 
preparations with students who were to be tested for grades of expert level. At a later stage, when Imi appointed him 
Head of the Krav Maga Professional Committee, Eyal was responsible for preparing and updating the Krav Maga 
curriculum. In this capacity Eyal had the task of imparting the new developments and accumulated knowledge, changes 
in techniques, and the latest training methods to the other senior instructors.

The Grand opening is free and open to the public. It will be held Thursday, January 21, 2010 from 6:00-9:00 PM at the South County location of Krav Maga of Orange County located at 24002 Via Fabricante, Suite 306 Mission Viejo, CA 92691. 714-876-6256 (OCKM) or 949-333-0736
