Krav Maga

---

During the early 1940's, underground liberation groups were fighting for the independence of Isreal. The fighters were forced to fight with knives and sticks since it was illegal to carry weapons. Utilizing their knowledge of krav maga and simple weapons led to a victorious fight.

Krav maga is a self defense and military hand to hand combat fighting system.

The version of krav maga taught in civiliar martial arts classes are toned down to emphasize more on personal self defense rather than teaching the hardcore brutal techniques.

So if you're looking to train in krav maga, don't expect to learn the killing techniques taught to the military or the hold used by the police force.
