 To the Right - A Typical  Krav Maga Class. 

Notice the diversity of men and women of

all sizes, ages and athletic prowess.  

When Krav Maga first came to the US, it was primarily taught at a few dozen Jewish Community Centers and/or Day Schools.  Now you can find training facilities, governed by various organizations, in every state.  It also draws interest from a variety of people groups; doctors, lawyers, law enforcement, military, office workers, sanitation professionals, construction workers, plumbers, teachers, actors and actresses, sports figures, and etc.  Some find the training a great way to get into and stay in shape.  Others like the sense of security and self confidence they receive from the effectiveness of the techniques.  Still others have been or have friends or family members who have been victims of violent crimes.  ALL have found Krav Maga to be the answer they were looking for when in need of an effective program for self improvement and positive life changes.

Why Create and Evolve Krav Maga into such an Effective Force?
      

        Israel is the only nation in the world which is literally surrounded by enemies.  Every national border is to yet another land intent on the destruction of Israel's people and lifestyle. Most of them would love to see a world without Israel. If for no other reason, this made it necessary, early in Israel's formation, to develop a system of hand to hand combat in which soldiers can be trained to a high level of proficiency in as little as 3 weeks, not several years. Traditional martial arts take years of building the right physical coordination(s) in order to reach a level of proficiency at which one can adequately defend themselves. Add the additional dimension of more than one attacker (or someone you need to protect) and now your talking about decades of training to become effective in the “NO RULES” environment of a streetfight or home invasion. Traditional martial arts always seem to assume there are rules in a fight, for instance: sparring ONLY with pads, creating boundaries and illegal techniques, no use of improvised weapons, unrealistic use and interpretation of kata or poomse. Well, in real life you just don't know what you will encounter!  Enter Krav Maga; loosely translated “Contact Combat”, this unique concept based system uses YOUR instinctive reactions to a criminal's common attacks allowing YOU, the learner, to gain skill VERY quickly!  In less time than a person can typically earn their first belt rank in a quality traditional martial art studio;
