Embark on a journey of real life self defense.
Krav Maga
Founded by Imi Lichtenfeld in the 1930s, Imi developed these fighting skills to help protect the local Jewish community in Czechoslovakia from the Nazi militia.
Today, in the simplest of terms, Krav Maga means contact combat. It is now recognized worldwide as the official hand-to-hand combat system of the Israeli Defense Forces, used by the Israeli police and several security services. This practical and tactical system teaches you how to prevent, deal with, and ultimately overcome all kinds of attacks. Krav Maga is designed to be consistent, efficient and realistic. It prepares students in self-defense, self protection, fighting and combat skills, as well as skills to defend others, all in unique and comprehensive teachings and way.
Krav-Maga was developed in Israel, under realistic demands and conditions and founded by Imi Lichtenfeld (Sde-Or). Many Krav Maga enthusiasts would call Imi the root of Krav Maga.
Krav Maga IKM and LearnKravMaga.co are associated with International Krav Maga (IKM), founded by Gabi Noah in 2009.
