After a long day of work, you walk in a parking lot, towards your car. Just when you open the door, someone comes in from behind and puts a knife against your throat. You react quickly and violently to defend yourself, you control the weapon and neutralize the aggressor.

This is Krav Maga self-defense.

Self-defense is the foundation of Krav Maga. Its different techniques have been developed to allow a person trained in Krav Maga to defend themselves, or defend others, against hostile, violent actions, to avoid being injured, to overcome aggressors and to neutralize them. Krav Maga includes defense against many types of unarmed yet dangerous assaults, such as punching or kicking, strangling, head keys, bear girdling and other holds.

The origins of Krav Maga

Krav Maga translated from Hebrew into English, as ‘Contact Combat’ was initially developed as an unarmed combat system by Imi Lichtenfeld for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) due to its straightforward, simplistic and practical approach.

Krav Maga has since been adapted to meet the needs of civilians, law enforcement officers and security personnel. Krav Maga is widely recognised as the most comprehensive reality based self-defense system in the world today.

Krav Maga Developement

Krav Maga is a practical and realistic system that is build on the natural reaction of the human body in a conflict situation, and teaches how to avoid, prevent, deter or deal with all types of violent confrontations. Having been developed under realistic conditions in Israel by its founder Imi Sde-or (Lichtenfeld), Krav Maga continues to be developed by Imi’s closest assistant and highest-level Instructor Eyal Yanilov of Krav Maga Global, who was awarded the founders diploma of excellent.
