Benefits Of Training Krav Maga

What Is Krav Maga?

Krav maga is a military self-defense and fighting system that was originally developed for the Israeli Defense forces and Israeli security forces. It’s known for how it focuses on real world situations and its efficiency. The methods for Krav Maga were actually derived from a combination of techniques from boxing, wrestling, aikido, judo, and karate, along with realistic fight training. The concept of Krav Maga was to take the most simple and practical techniques from the fighting styles in order to make them easy to grasp for military conscripts. Krav Maga teaches to avoid physical confrontation and encourages finishing a fight as quickly as possible.

Krav Maga is effective for all ages on a fitness and psychological level by teaching students a variety of self-defense techniques along with situational awareness. A big benefit that is unique to the Krav Maga fighting style is that it was created to be easily comprehensible. Since Krav Maga was made for military conscripts, the only goal in mind was survival.
