What is Krav Maga?

• • Krav Maga is a self-defense system developed in Israel.
  • It’s designed to be practical and effective in real-world situations.
  • The name itself, “Krav Maga,” means “contact combat” in Hebrew.
  • What it focuses on:
    • Real-world scenarios: Krav Maga training emphasizes dealing with situations you might encounter in everyday life, like street fights.
    • Simplicity and efficiency: It prioritizes simple, instinctive movements that can be learned quickly.
    • Self-defense, not sport: Unlike martial arts that have rules and competitions, Krav Maga is focused on disabling an attacker as quickly as possible.
    • Situational awareness: a big part of krav maga is learning to be aware of your surroundings, and to avoid dangerous situations before they escalate.
• Key principles:
  • Aggressive defense: Krav Maga teaches you to defend yourself forcefully and decisively.
  • Targeting vulnerable areas: Techniques often target vulnerable areas of the body, like the eyes, groin, and throat.
  • Using anything available: Krav Maga encourages using any objects at hand as weapons, like keys, pens, or even your bag.
  • Simultaneous defense and attack: often defensive movements are combined with offensive counter attacks.
  • In essence, Krav Maga is about learning to protect yourself in dangerous situations, using simple, effective techniques. It’s about survival.
