What is Krav Maga?

Krav Maga is the most effective and realistic close-combat and self-defence system available today.

It is internationally recognised by martial arts experts and combat instructors, and is regarded as a practical, effective and innovative method of combat and self-defence.

Originally developed by grandmaster Imi Sde-Or (Lichtenfeld) for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and other national security services, Krav Maga has since been adapted for civilian use.

The method was designed so that anyone — young or old, male or female — can use it successfully, regardless of physical ability.

Krav Maga is a self-defence system defined by its simplicity. The secret to its effectiveness lies in natural techniques that are easy to learn, thanks to modern, sophisticated training methods combined with logically structured defensive tactics.

Israel’s day-to-day reality has given the Krav Maga school ample opportunity to be tested under real conditions far more dangerous than ordinary street combat.
