Krav Maga is a self-defense system developed
by the Israeli army. In Hebrew, the Krav
Maga literally means "contact combat."
Developed by Hungarian boxer and wrestler
Imrich Lichtenfeld in the 1930s, the
technique was first used by Israeli
underground paramilitary organizations such
as Haganah. When Israel became an official
country in 1948, Lichtenfeld was appointed
Chief Instructor and Combat Trainer for the
Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Since then,
Krav Maga has spread, and it's now practiced
in over 30 countries around the world. At
first view, Krav Maga may look like a
martial art, but it's actually a form of
combat with no rules and no limitations.
Martial arts such as Judo, Karate, and even
wrestling are considered sports; Krav Maga,
on the other hand, is a regulated form of
combat. In fact, the point of Krav Maga is
to take the enemy down as quickly as
possible. Some teachers of Krav Maga explain
it as "the art of going home alive," which
means that groin strikes, choking, and
headbutts are considered acceptable moves.
In addition to using their bodies to fight,
practitioners of Krav Maga are taught to use
the environment as a weapon. This means
learning to use any object nearby, from
bottles to baseball bats, as a
gun-substitute. The objective of Krav Maga
is to avoid injury in real-life scenarios,
such as fights, street attacks, and violent
encounters. Advanced students of Krav Maga
learn to defend themselves from gun and
knife attacks, multiple attacker scenarios,
headlocks, and ground fighting. Most
self-defense classes today teach some
variation of Krav Maga. Military training in
Krav Maga is more extreme, including manual
killing techniques, defense against
grenades, and disarmament of the enemy. All
military and police offices in Israel are
trained in Krav Maga, and so are many
Special Forces Units around the world. In
the US, the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI), the United States Marine Corps, the
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the
Air Force Office of Special Investigations
(AFOSI) Anti-terrorism Specialty Team all
learn Krav Maga as part of their physical
training.
