What is Krav Maga?
Origin
Developed in the 1930s by Imi Lichtenfeld, Krav Maga is a self-defense system originating from Israel. Initially created to protect Jewish communities from anti-Semitic attacks, it has evolved into a practical combat system used by militaries and law enforcement worldwide including the Israel Defense Forces. Krav Maga emphasizes instinctive movements and efficient techniques for real-life confrontations.
Contact Combat
Krav Maga focuses on natural reflexes, critical strikes, and defenses against various threats like punches, grabs, and weapons. Students will learn to defend themselves effectively regardless of their size, strength, or level of experience.
Beyond physical techniques, Krav Maga also highlights mental conditioning and situational awareness. Students will learn to assess threats, de-escalate conflicts when possible, and make split-second decisions under pressure. The goal is not just to survive an attack, but to emerge from it safely and unharmed.
