What is Krav Maga self defense?
When it comes to practical self defense, few systems in the world are as direct and effective as Krav Maga. Developed for the IDF in the mid 20th century, Krav Maga was designed to be simple, efficient, and applicable in real world situations. Unlike many martial arts systems that emphasize tradition, sport, or competition, Krav Maga focuses on survival and safety. It is a principle based system designed to evolve and adapt as the dangers in our grow and change.
Unlike the rules that come with combat sports, there are no rules, tournaments, or competitions in Krav Maga. Instead, Training simulates real life scenarios - such as getting grabbed, pushed, choked, bear hugged, handling multiple threats, or being confronted with a weapon, and more...
My personal favorite attribute of Krav Maga in the two decades I have been studying it is its adaptability. I have seen its effectiveness throughout the entire spectrum of athletic ability. Whether you have never trained in a combat sport, or any sport for that matter, or you are a seasoned athlete - Krav Maga is the one martial art that is truly made so that ALL may walk in peace.
