what Is Krav Maga?
Krav Maga, which means Hand to Hand Combat in Hebrew, is a constantly evolving training system first developed in the Israeli Defense Forces. The system was designed to create a close quarter fighter within a short period of time which will prevail, hand to hand, against an enemy with years of martial art or street fighting experience. Krav Maga is built on the principles of human physiology, psychology and reaction time.
Rather than repeatedly drilling in rigid engagement techniques, Krav Maga students learn to analyze a hostile environment, and stop the opponents capabilities according to his posture, selecting the appropriate action, within split second before the engagement. The Krav Maga trainee is not taught to defend against a specific weapon or hand strike, rather to counter the opponent's intent before the attack is initiated.
Training begins with techniques to overcome fear, analysis of survival chances in a threat situation and a comprehensive study of reaction time and pressure points. This leads to rapid decision making of taking the best course of action using the tools at hand.
After learning to use the maximum of his mind, the trainee turns to the physical capabilities of his body, building up techniques that work under extreme exertion. Most techniques are executed using principles of gravity, so even when fear and hyperventilation takes over, one can still mount an effective defense and attack without using great muscle contraction.
In Krav Maga simplicity is the key.
