Krav Maga is one of the most important gifts that the state of Israel has given the world.  Regardless of physical strength, age or gender, this method allows anyone to defend himself when faced with virtually any violent situation.

Krav Maga – a quick, realistic, unrelenting, pushy and sharp martial art designed not for beauty of motion, but for the sole purpose of self-defense. Although created by a competitive fighter, it is a non-competitive system.  While a new style on its own, it also contains a synthesis of a variety of techniques from many different fighting styles (everything from boxing to jiu-jitsu). The ideas behind Krav Maga are simple; confrontation should always be avoided.  If this it is not possible or dangerous to subvert the conflict, then Krav Maga dictates that the fight should be finished as quickly as possible. This is achieved through efficient and quick (sometimes pre-emptive) counter attacks and targeting the bodies most vulnerable points. Training focuses on real world situations, achieving maximum efficiency with quickest effort and maintaining awareness of one’s surroundings.
