Krav Maga is a self-defence and combat system of the Israeli Defense Forces and has been taught to police, military and thousands of civilians throughout the world. Krav Maga is a simple, effective self-defence system which uses instinctive movements, practical techniques, and realistic training scenarios. The goal of Krav Maga is to bring students to a high level of proficiency in a short period of time. The methodologies originated with the teachings of Krav Maga founder Imi Lichtenfeld, who combined elements of boxing, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, wrestling, and high intensity interval training.
