ABOUT KRAV MAGA

Krav Maga, taught and acknowledged worldwide, is an efficient and realistic self-defense method. It was founded and developed by holocaust survivor, Imi Lichtenfeld. Lichtenfeld strived to create a system that would protect his fellow prosecuted Jews first against the growing anti-Semitism in Europe and later, in Israel, against violent Arab attacks. With the independence of the state of Israel, Krav Maga became an integral part of the IDF training program, and then ontinued its development at the hands of  Lichtenfield's most talented student, Eli Avikzer (who was, until his death in 2004, Aviad Segal's teacher).

 

The goal of Krav Maga is pure, simple self-defense, carefully built and constructed through a scientific approach of continuous trial and the understanding of the limitations and advantages of the human body and psychology.
