ABOUT ME
Get healthy, Get fit, Get Strong. Get safe.
That is the philosophy of AJ Draven, one of the top Krav Maga practitioners and most recognized instructors in the world. Creator of the Krav Maga and Get Fit Challenge programs and one of the founders of Project Level Up, one of the fastest growing health and fitness companies in the world, AJ has opened the door to effective self-defense training and improved fitness for thousands upon thousands of people, paving the way to fulfill his dream of taking the intimidation out of self defense training and making it accessible for people of all shapes and sizes looking to build confidence, feel strong, and be empowered. His challenge program is now in close to 400 martial arts gyms worldwide, and almost 2000 locations in total are using his Project Level Up App to run their challenges and train along with him with his at-home workout videos.
AJ built his reputation by certifying countless Krav Maga instructors and school owners; traveling regularly to cities all over the world, helping spread the philosophies and techniques needed to keep themselves, their communities, and their loved ones safe. For 12 years he lead the Krav Maga Worldwide 'Teach the Teacher' program, and had the honor of testing every Krav Maga practitioner who received their Black Belt from 2010 to 2016.
Of course, being based in Los Angeles means there's been no escaping the limelight for this charismatic martial artist. Movies, TV shows, and Video Games alike have called on AJ to consult, choreograph, and/or star in their productions as well. AJ has been featured on all of the major networks both coordinating and choreographing fight sequences or appearing as the go-to expert in self defense themed reality/docu-shows.
He is often hired to train celebrities and actors for roles requiring stunts/fighting skills, with the list including: Tomb Raider, Alias, Being Human, and The League. He was one of the main motion capture actors in the blockbuster video game Halo 4, and has been the lead role in 3 action feature films airing on Showtime, The Movie Channel, Netflix, and the SYFY channel.
AJ loves to walk the walk! To teach, to learn, and to train. To lead by example. To improve his body mind and spirit everyday! His favorite thing to do is to work on his 'moves' (krav maga, yoga, arm balances) with his three young children, his son Xavier and identical twin girls Rocky and Lola!
