First off, what is Krav Maga? Krav Maga is derived from Israel where its name can be translated as “contact combat” from the Hebrew language. Originally developed for the Israel Defense Forces, this hand to hand fighting system was derived from martial artist Imi Lichtenfeld, who combined techniques from boxing, aikido, karate, judo, and wrestling in order to create a both aggressive and effective form of self defense. The goal of Krav Maga and its training is to focus on real-world situations that could occur while incorporating simultaneous defensive and offensive maneuvers for maximum efficiency. With a philosophy that emphasizes aggression and practicality, Krav Maga self defense has spread internationally for both security forces as well as civilian use.
