Alan began training in karate in Italy at age eight. As a teenager, he added Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, and cross-training in other modern systems. He served in the Italian Army Airborne and the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division, becoming a close-combat instructor at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Bragg.

In 2000, Alan began training full time in Krav Maga in New York City and completed the Wingate instructor course under Haim Zut. Beginning in 2002, he traveled regularly to Israel to train first with Haim Zut and later with Eyal Yanilov. He also taught at the Krav Maga Worldwide National Training Center under Darren Levine, where he trained instructors, school owners, law-enforcement personnel, and military units from around the world.

Alan became IKMF Director for North America in 2007 and KMG Director under Eyal Yanilov in 2011. He continued developing his striking with Master Toddy, earning the rank of Kru in Muay Thai, and trained in Dutch-style kickboxing with Bas Rutten and Rob Kaman. In 2013, he founded the 360 Krav Maga Association and Network to bring greater depth from MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu into practical self-defense training. He holds a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under Leo Vieira and Checkmat, a black belt in Kudo, and Expert Level 2 under Eyal Yanilov. He continues to train and develop the 360 system for kids, teens, and adults seeking practical, safe training.

Candace began training in martial arts after graduating the police academy. During her law-enforcement career, she worked patrol and served as an arrest-and-control instructor, teaching officers the physical skills and control tactics required for real-world encounters.

She continued developing her striking and competed in Muay Thai. Candace is a second-degree black belt in 360 Krav Maga, a Box N Burn Level 2 boxing coach, a UFC Performance Institute Level 1 MMA coach, and a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blue belt.

As an owner and instructor, Candace oversees 360 operations and coach development, helping ensure that every program maintains a clear standard for instruction, safety, and student progress. Her approach emphasizes strong fundamentals, confidence, responsible coaching, and the ability to perform skills under pressure—not simply demonstrate techniques.

Candace is also the mother of four children, giving her a personal understanding of the confidence, discipline, and practical skills parents want martial arts training to develop.
