Hello everyone,
March 14, 2026 – 30 KRAV MAGA – 30TH ANNIVERSARY SEMINAR
Many of you may think this is only a Krav Maga celebration, but it is also a celebration of Jyrki Saario and the Saario Academy. Thirty years ago, without that seminar, there might be no V.I.P., no Defendo, no Classic Krav Maga, and no Saario Academy.
This is a celebration for everyone who followed Master Jyrki’s teachings before and ever since. It doesn’t matter what you practice within the Saario Academy, and it doesn’t matter where or with whom you are training now. You may currently be training in kickboxing or Muay Thai, if you have ever trained with Master Jyrki, come and train with us and celebrate this special occasion together.
Let us celebrate together with Master Jyrki!
I hope to see you there.
László Tóth
Instructor, Saario Academy

Sziasztok!
2026. Március 14. Krav Maga 30 éves találkozó!
Sokan úgy gondoljátok, hogy ez csak a KM ünnepe, de ez Jyrki Saario és a Saario Akadémia ünnepe. Akkor 30 éve, ha Nincs ez a szeminárium lehet nincs V.I.P. lehet nincs Defendo nincs Classic Krav Maga és nincs Saario Akadémia.
Ez mindenki ünnepe, aki előtte és azóta Jyrki mester tanításait követi! MINDEGY, hogy mit csinálsz a Saario Akadémiában, mindegy, hogy most hol és kivel edzel. Lehet, hogy most valahol Kick Boxozól, vagy Thai Boxozól, ha bármikor edzettél Jyrki
Mesterrel, gyere el, edz velünk és ünnepeld velünk ezt az eseményt!
Ünnepeljünk együtt Jyrki Mesterrel!
Remélem találkozunk!
