Training standards
Instruction connects technical learning to drilling, progressive resistance, live decision-making, and responsible self-defense application.
Standards & policies
Standards make the name mean something
Every member and recognized school shares responsibility for safe training, ethical conduct, and credible representation.
Safety requirements
Class design, partner matching, protective equipment, intensity, contact, and supervision must fit the age, experience, and ability of participants.
Instructor conduct
Instructors maintain professional boundaries, communicate clearly, avoid abuse of authority, and put student welfare ahead of rank or revenue.
Code of ethics
Members represent the Association with integrity, respect, accountability, and restraint inside and outside training.
Background screening
Covered instructors, staff, and volunteers must complete Association-approved screening before working in designated roles and renew it on the required cycle.
SafeSport® education
Designated adults complete appropriate U.S. Center for SafeSport abuse-prevention education so they can better recognize, prevent, and respond to misconduct.
CPR & First Aid
Instructional teams are expected to maintain appropriate, current emergency-response training and facility procedures.
Youth protection
Clear standards for supervision, one-on-one interactions, reporting, communication, travel, physical contact, and parent access protect children and instructors.
Brand representation
The Association name and marks may be used only in approved ways and never to imply governmental, Olympic, or national-governing-body status.
Shared responsibility
Safety is a training standard, not a disclaimer.
Progressive resistance must be introduced with control, protective equipment, appropriate partner selection, and clear stop conditions. Pressure is necessary for development; careless exposure is not.

Education and screening work together
SafeSport training provides abuse-prevention education; it does not itself replace a criminal background check. The 360 safety program will pair appropriate SafeSport education with a separate Association-approved background-screening process.
360 Krav Maga Association is not part of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Movement and does not imply U.S. Center for SafeSport jurisdiction. SafeSport courses are available to organizations outside that movement. Public 360 policy documents are being finalized; where law or safeguarding requirements are stricter, the stricter requirement applies.
