Kevin Lewis

Kevin L. Lewis is a lifelong learner, teacher, and practitioner of continuous improvement. A Navy veteran and highly regarded “trainer’s trainer,” he has spent decades instructing military, law-enforcement, and private-sector security teams in defensive tactics, executive protection, and high-stakes readiness.

He is the founder of Universal Defensive Tactics, a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Krav Maga, a 1st Degree Black Belt in Shudo-Kan Karate, and a 2010 inductee into the Martial Arts Master’s Hall of Fame. Kevin has prepared A-list actors for action roles in more than 20 major films and authored Idiot’s Guide to Krav Maga.

Drawing from years of operational experience, he now shares the practical philosophy that has guided his own life and work: Be better today than you were yesterday.

“Growth, education, and training must never end, or complacency will set in. Complacency kills!”

Kevin lives in Kaneohe, Hawaii, where he continues to train, teach.
