KRAV MAGA

Krav Maga is an Israelian self-defense system during which you train for an array of realistic situations; like kidnapping, attacks on an important person, night-time dangers and also attack with a gun or knife, etc. Contrary to most other budo sports which usually prefer a dedicated place for training like a dojo, Krav Maga is usually taught in differing locations, both indoors and outside.

Most self-defense styles like Aikido and Jiu Jitsu use very subtle techniques, that can only be used in real life situations when it has been trained for years and years. Krav Maga aims to teach techniques that are quick and effective either way, because they usually follow the natural instinct of someone’s defense wen they are being attacked. A no-nonsense approach is therefore most appreciated.

Krav Maga is suitable for both men and women of all ages, to learn in a short period of time how to deal with threatening situations. Like every realistical self-defense style, Krav Maga is not bound by rules. Kicks to the groin, elbows to the head and even fingers to the eyes or throat is all permitted.

This is also why there are no competitions. It is not considered a sport, but a self-defense system.
