I'll search, while you

wait.

With your list of topics it would seem that you know what it is. Anyhow, Krav Maga is the official self defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces, and has been taught to hundreds of law enforcement agencies and thousands of civilians in the United States.

Love is the battery of life....

Hi,

In Hebrew: Krav = Fight. Maga = Touch. So it means a close, face to face, fight. Usually it means when the people involved are very physically close (in terms of distance) so that one can leterally "touch" the other. As a sport "krav Maga" has certain rules..... in real life, any fighting technique can be used.....
Best regards.

It's your future, be there healthy.

Krav Maga started out as a hand-to-hand combat and system of self-defense taught to Israeli soliders. It is a combination of various styles of martial arts, both Chinese and Japanese.

It had become a name brand that can be found all over the United States, and is also taught to American and European soldiers.
