The desire to learn a more self-defence orientated fighting system led Marcos to first start training in Krav Maga with Head Instructor Eyal Yanilov in 1995. Marcos was on the first krav Maga  instructors course held in the UK in 1997 where he passed with the highest grade possible (G3). Marcos is one of the few instructors in the UK to have qualified as a Krav Maga instructor, not only certified by the International Krav Maga Federation, but also by the Wingate Institute of Sport In Israel and the Israeli Ministry of Sport and Education. Marcos then went to Israel several times over the next two years to train with senior instructors Gabi Noah and Amnon Darsa as well as Eyal Yanilov. In 1999 Marcos became the first UK instructor to gain his Expert Level in Krav Maga (one of only two expert levels in the UK). Marcos has been teaching Krav Maga  since qualifying as an instructor in 1997 to civilians and security personnel. He teaches both public and private classes and regularly does seminars and gradings across the UK. He also provides monthly training and continuing professional development for other IKMF qualified instructors.

Marcos Lall has over 20 years experience in the martial arts. In his mid-teens he started amateur boxing in the youth club system and then took up kickboxing at college. Marcos went on to train for several years with Tyrone Wasniewski in Wado Ryu karate before taking up judo with Percy Sekine at the London Judokan . In 1995 Marcos started Thai-boxing, firstly with World Champion Dave Martins at the Cobra gym in London and later with former British Heavyweight kickboxing champion Stephen Smith in Farnborough.
