Krav Maga

Translated from Hebrew Krav Maga means ‘close combat’ and was developed with this in mind. Krav Maga originated in Hungary and Czechoslovakia and then became a huge part of the Israeli Intelligence Agency years later as a Military Combat system. Krav Maga is one of the few martial arts that fully embodies the scientific approach making use of the body’s natural reactions and simultaneous attack and defense.

Krav Maga is taught both for fitness and for effectiveness, so in some Krav Maga clubs you will find that it gives you a fairly intense cardiovascular workout and in other Krav Maga clubs it won’t be as physically intense but the training will be more focused on self defensive moves.
