What is Krav Maga?

Print

Krav Maga is a very practical and "in your face" martial art, created by one of the most influential and leading instructors in Israel's history. However Krav Maga is a very broad term, and if you look it up in an encyclopedia or dictionary, it will state that it "is a hand-to-hand fighting system based on close quarters combat". That is perfectly true, but currently it is practised with three distinct goals: self defense, hand to hand combat, and fitness.

Krav Maga purely for real self defense is a very straightforward system, where all the strikes, kicks and blocks are administered very close together. There are also significant choke methods, front kicks and the like.

Krav Maga is currently gaining popularity in the US and Europe, and the same is quickly happening up in India, especially within the past four years.
