Pure Krav Maga Philosophy

The Essence of Krav Maga:

Krav Maga is fundamentally a matrix for reaching and controlling your opponent's pressure points first. Developed through systematic observation and analysis of all other combat training systems, it distills the most effective techniques into a cohesive framework. These core principle drive all techniques in the system and separates authentic military Krav Maga from watered-down civilian versions.

Boaz Aviram's approach to Krav Maga stands distinct in its commitment to authenticity, efficiency, and practical combat effectiveness. As the third Chief Instructor in the direct lineage from founder Imi Lichtenfeld, his teaching preserves the original military orientation of the system while incorporating comprehensive anatomical understanding, tactical awareness, and philosophical depth.

His selective certification process and resistance to commercialization further distinguish his methodology from more widely marketed versions of Krav Maga. This unique approach makes Aviram something of a "hidden gem" in the American martial arts landscape – an instructor with direct connections to the founders and original development of Krav Maga who maintains a commitment to teaching the system in its authentic form rather than adapting it primarily for commercial appeal.

For those seeking to understand Krav Maga as it was developed and taught within the Israeli military, Aviram's "Pure Krav Maga" represents one of the most direct connections to the system's origins and original teaching methodology.
