What is Krav Magen?
Krav Magen Israeli belongs to the Krav Maga lineage developed by Imi Lichtenfeld. His student Eli Avikzar founded the Israeli Krav Magen Association, K.A.M.I., in 1989.
Using the physical attributes an average human possesses, Krav Magen teaches students how to quickly fight off an attack and neutralize their attacker or attackers even if they’re armed with a weapon. By using the body’s natural movements in tandem with an economy of motion, the end result is a lightning fast defense and counterattack.

Main Principles of Krav Magen
Lessons begin with defence. Just learning how to fight off an attack can be extremely liberating for those who regularly find themselves in situations where one could easily occur. Using realistic simulations that mirror possible real life scenarios, students learn how to calmly respond under stress with an appropriate and decisive amount of force. One of the main principles of Krav Magen is to end the fight as quickly as possible without getting hurt.
Next, students are taught how to effectively counterattack. The swift transition from defense to offense is what makes Krav Magen so effective and dangerous to assailants. Krav Magen also teaches what parts of the human body are most vulnerable and what methods of attack to employ. Like all martial arts, specific types of punches and kicks are designed for maximum results.
