The words Krav Maga mean “contact/close combat” in Hebrew. It’s a complete, practical and modern reality-based self-defense system originally developed in the Israeli Defense Forces by Imi Lichtenfeld for use in the military. Lichtenfeld subsequently developed it into a form of self-defense for use by civilians and kids. It is the world’s most complete and effective reality-based self-defense system.
One of the tenets of authentic Krav Maga is that the system is based on natural reflexes to an attack and that training must include stress training to help absorb and retain the system quickly which is one of the reasons the Krav Maga system is so practical. The system draws from a combination of disciplines including boxing, judo, karate, aikido, wrestling, Muay Thai, Wing Chun, judo, jiu-jitsu, grappling, and street fighting.
Krav Maga is ideal for providing students with a well-rounded approach to self-defense. Other benefits of self-defense classes include self-confidence and survival-ready fitness which includes stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility and balance.
