About Krav Maga

Krav Maga (meaning "Close/Contact Combat" in Hebrew) is the official hand-to-hand combat system of the Israeli Military.

Many organisations and associations claim to be teaching Krav Maga however true/real Krav Maga has adheres to a set of uncompromised principles, these being:

All defenses must originate with a natural reflex movement

All defenses must be able to be carried out in high stress situations

Defenses against one type of attack should be reusable against different types of attacks

Defense and attack/counter attack should be simultaneous

Attacks should overlap and be continuous (Retzef)

Soft targets e.g. groin, throat, eyes etc should be attacked at every opportunity

Rather than just being a simple set of techniques, Krav Maga emphasises the need for both mental aggression and physical fitness (both of these elements are developed and nurtured in our Boston classes). Do not worry about your current fitness level, you will have this upped without even realising it!

Krav Maga isn't pretty but it is simple and it is effective. It has to be, as the middle east is a very unforgiving environment in which to operate. If you are looking for a system that has proven itself time and time again in real life and death situations then there are few systems of self defense that even come close to Krav Maga.

The system and curriculum is always evolving to new threats and dangers and if more efficient and effective methods of defense are developed then these are incorporated. Nothing is sacred or untouchable within Krav Maga.
