Krav Maga, the official fighting and self-defense system of the Israeli military, emerged in an environment where extreme violence was common and a self-defense system was desperately needed. Krav Maga is designed to work for everyone, regardless of size, strength or athletic ability. Krav Maga is also designed to be learned quickly. Due to it's instinctive movements and straight forward approach, the techniques are easy to retain with minimal review and can be performed under extreme stress. This makes Krav Maga easy to master, even for a novice. Krav Maga has been tested and improved under real-life conditions, proving to be an ideal system for defending oneself in the face of life threatening danger.
