History of Krav Maga

Krav Maga was originally developed for use by the Israeli military. It combines techniques from boxing, savate, Muay Thai, Wing Chun, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, and grappling. Training in Krav Maga focuses on application of knowledge in real-world street fighting situations.

The first person to develop Krav Maga was Imi Lichtenfeld. Trained as a boxer and a wrestler, Lichtenfeld developed the new martial art to help defend the Jewish quarter from fascist groups in Czechoslovakia during the late 1930s and early 1940s. He started to give lessons in Krav Maga to the Israeli Defense Forces after immigrating to Israel in the late 1940s. The development of Krav Maga took off from here and has since been refined by the Mossad and Shin Bet law enforcement, as well as intelligence organizations.
