What is Krav Maga?

Krav Maga (Hebrew: קְרַב מַגָּע, meaning “contact combat” or “close combat”) is a military self-defense system that combines techniques drawn from boxing, wrestling, Muay Thai, aikido, judo, and combat training.

It developed from the experience of Hungarian-Israeli fighter Imi Lichtenfeld, who, as a boxer and wrestler, used his training to defend the Jewish quarter against fascist groups in Bratislava in the 1930s.

Krav Maga focuses primarily on practical self-defense in everyday civilian life. It also addresses asymmetric situations in which the opponent is armed or has a numerical advantage. Thanks to its logical and comprehensive approach to conflict situations, it enables significant progress in a relatively short time.
