Ran Nakash (born 1978) is an Israeli cruiserweight boxer. He is currently Chief Commander and Head Instructor of the Israel Defense Forces Krav Maga Instructional Division[2] and holds a professional boxing record of 26 wins with 18 by knockout and one loss.[3] He scored his latest victory on January 21, 2012 defeating Derek Bryant by unanimous decision.[4] Nakash’s only loss occurred on April 2, 2011 against WBO Cruiserweight champion Marco Huck.[3] Despite accepting the fight on short notice as a late replacement for Giacobbe Fragomeni, Nakash fought a competitive fight, pressing his opponent throughout the 12-round bout, though Huck was ultimately awarded the victory on points.

Nakash was featured on the Discovery Channel’s Fight Quest where he demonstrated the techniques of the Israeli martial art of Krav Maga.[5]

In an effort to make Krav Maga available to anyone who is willing to learn regardless of where they are in the world – Nakash launched KravMagaBootCamp.com in 2007. The online training website was the first to offer self defense training via online video instruction and has since then instructed thousands of students the world over.
