Krav Maga (contact combat in Hebrew)is a highly effective,
battle tested, modern day self-defence system.
Krav-Maga was created and developed by Imi Sde-or (Lichtenfeld),
Israeli Grand-master (1910-1998) who started Krav Maga in
the late 1940's whilst serving as Chief Instructor for hand
to hand combat and combat fitness training for the Israeli
Defence Forces. The system has been adopted by the Israel
Defence and Security Forces and has been used in some of
the most severe combat settings of this century.
The term
Krav Maga is generic and covers a multitude of styles and
interpretations of the original system. Since its early
beginnings the system has been studied, tested, improved
and developed extensively not only as the theatre of war
has changed but also to reflect trends in violence.
