Krav Maga

It s a popularly purported myth that Krav Maga was designed by the Israeli military but it s not true. It was developed for the Israeli military. Hungarian Israeli martial artist Imi Lichtenfeld used his training to defend Bratislava s Jewish quarter in the 1930 s. After moving to Israel in the late 1940 s, Kichtenfeld is the one who helped the Israeli Defence Forces develop a martial arts program. Key tenants of this lethal martial art include high aggression and a focus on threat neutralization.
