What Is Krav Maga?
Krav Maga is the most devastating fighting, self-defence, or protection system in the world. It is not a sport; it is a system based on principles and concepts. In Krav Maga, you’ll learn to defeat unarmed attackers, rapidly resolve ground fights, and deal with knives and guns. Additionally, you’ll learn how to debilitate your opponent rapidly, irrespective of his size, training background, or experience level. Most importantly, the system can be learned quickly and applied under extreme stress.
The system is based on simple and reflexive moves that work when you need them to. As Krav Maga is a constantly evolving system, the effectiveness of the techniques is constantly tested, evaluated, and developed. There are different styles of Krav Maga, from a hit-and-run system to the real deal. There is no doubt that Krav Maga originated in Israel. It is also a fact that Krav Maga has evolved so much from the Imi style that it is difficult to say which style is the best. In fact, this can only be proven in a life-threatening situation.
Sometimes, a style has evolved because of particular country laws, making it impossible to teach Krav Maga the way it was intended. Sometimes, a style has evolved because of commercial reasons. However, it is a fact that Krav Maga isn't about 400 techniques, katas, and fancy moves. If it looks great, it's probably not Krav Maga; true Krav Maga is raw, brutal, fast, and effective.
