At least the three people I know that are certified all pronounce it that way. I imagine you'll find different pronunciations in different regions as accents take their toll.

Take it from the Israeli... it's KRAV mah-GAH, though the Hebrew short "a" syllable is different from the English one, less guttural, but that requires hearing it spoken.
