Krav Maga is an Israeli martial art. Developed for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), it is derived from a
combination of techniques used in aikido, judo, karate, and boxing and wrestling. It is known for its focus on
real-world situations and its extreme efficiency: Hungarian-born Israeli martial artist Imi Lichtenfeld, who made use of
his training as a boxer and wrestler to defend Jews in Bratislava against fascist groups in the mid-to-late 1930s,
developed Krav Maga through his experiences in street fighting. After his immigration to Mandatory Palestine in
the late 1940s, he began to provide lessons on combat training to Jewish paramilitary groups that would later form the
IDF during the Israeli War of Independence.
Krav Maga currently has two schools. International Krav Maga Federation, IKMF, and Krav Maga Network which teaches classic Krav Maga. Classic Krav Maga has taken the sport back to basics and keeps the techniques simple. The sport is suitable for everyone and is very effective self defence system. Also it is fun and good excercise!
