Krav Maga means "contact combat" in Hebrew and was developped in the 1940's by Imi Lichtenfeld. It is a self-defence system that uses natural human reflexes for optimal results. It is straight-forward, easy and relatively fast to learn. In Israel it is the official system for the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), the Police Forces as well as some other security forces. Krav Maga is also widely taught in public schools. It is becoming more and more popular worldwide especially in Europe and North America where it is being used by police forces and special forces such as SWAT and the FBI.

In the 1960's it was further-developped and adapted for civilian use. It is now practiced by civilians in over 30 countries throughout the world.

Krav Maga is a modern and extremely logical system. It was developped so that basic self-defence movements can be adapted and used in different situations. This is one of the reasons it is such a great a system! Krav Maga (IKMF) is a tested and proven effective system and has been praised over and over again by official organisations worldwide.

Krav Maga teaches you realistic defence techniques against a full range of life threatening situations including weapon attacks such as knife, stick and firearm attacks/threats. The system teaches you to deal with these situations in any position. You will also learn how to deal with not only one attacker but also multiple attackers. And the training involves stress drills which simulate real-life situation.

Not only is it a highly effective system, it is a great way to get fit!
