Krav Maga literally means "Combat –Contact, " ; fighting for survival up close and personal. The roots of modern Krav Maga began with the need for self-defence in the land of Israel.
Krav Maga has no single "founder" and no official beginning,butwhen Europe became unbearable for Jews, Imi Lichtenfeld left the country and eventually ended up in the land of Israel in 1942, then controlled by the British and began to incorporate techniques from different styles to form an effective approach to self defence to enable the Jewish community to defend itself against Fascist militias.
Krav Maga is designed for self-defence, combat, and worst case scenarios for men and women of all ages and from all over the world; college students, House wives, International Travellers, Businessmen, Doctors, IT people, law enforcement, Military and Special Forces.
