"contact combat") is a military self-defense and fighting system developed for the State of israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israeli security forces^{[one] [two]} derived from a combination of techniques sourced from battle, wrestling, judo, aikido, and karate.^{[three] [iv]} Krav Maga is known for its focus on real-world situations and its farthermost efficiency.^[5] It was derived from the street-fighting experience of Hungarian-Israeli martial artist Imi Lichtenfeld, who made use of his training as a boxer and wrestler, while defending the Jewish quarter against fascist groups in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, during the mid-to-late 1930s.^{[half dozen]} In the late 1940s, subsequently his immigration to Mandatory Palestine, he began to provide lessons on combat training to what was to become the IDF.^[2]

From the starting time, the original concept of Krav Maga was to take the most constructive and practical techniques of other fighting styles (originally European boxing, wrestling, and street fighting) and to make them rapidly teachable to armed services conscripts.^[7] Krav Maga has a philosophy emphasizing aggression,^[8] and simultaneous defensive and offensive maneuvers.^[9] Krav Maga has been used by the Israel Defence force Forces' special forces units, security forces and by regular infantry units.^[ten] Closely related variations have been developed and adopted past Israeli law enforcement and intelligence organizations.

Like virtually martial arts, Krav Maga encourages students to avoid concrete confrontation.^[xiv] If this is impossible or unsafe, it promotes finishing a fight as quickly and aggressively as possible. Attacks are aimed at the most vulnerable parts of the body, and training is not express to techniques that avoid severe injury; some even permanently injure or crusade death to the opponent.

Students learn to defend confronting all variety of attacks and are taught to counter in the quickest and about efficient way.

Ideas in Krav Maga include:^[fifteen]

• Simultaneous defense and assault
• Developing physical aggression (not to be dislocated with emotional aggression or anger), with the view that physical aggression is the nigh important component in a fight^[16]
• Standing to strike the opponent until they are completely incapacitated.^[17]
• Attacking pre-emptively or counterattacking as soon as possible
• Using any objects at hand that could be used to hitting an opponent.^[18]
• Targeting attacks to the body'southward most vulnerable points, such as: the eyes, neck or throat, face, solar plexus, groin, ribs, knee, foot, fingers, liver, etc.
• Using simple and easily repeatable strikes.^[18]
• Maintaining awareness of surroundings while dealing with the threat in order to look for escape routes, farther attackers, or objects that could be used to strike an opponent.
• Developing muscle retentivity for quick reaction in fight.
• Recognizing the importance of and expanding on instinctive response under stress^{[xix] [20] [21]}

Training can likewise cover the study and development of situational sensation to develop an understanding of one'due south environment, learning to understand the psychology of a street confrontation, and identifying potential threats earlier an attack occurs. It may as well encompass physical and verbal methods to avoid violence whenever possible. It too teaches mental toughness, using controlled scenarios to strengthen mental fortitude in order for students to command the impulse and not do something rash, but instead set on only when necessary and as a last resort.

Techniques [edit]

Some of the key focuses of techniques^[22] in Krav Maga are—as described above—effectiveness and instinctive response nether stress. To that finish, Krav Maga is an eclectic organization that has non sought to supervene upon existing effective techniques, taking what is useful from available systems, for example:

• Strikes – as per karate, and boxing,
• Take-downs and throws – per judo, aikido and wrestling
• Basis piece of work – per judo and wrestling
• Escapes from chokes and holds – per judo, aikido, wrestling
• Empty-paw weapon defenses – per aikido

History [edit]

Imre Lichtenfeld (also known equally Imi S'de-Or) was built-in in 1910 in Budapest, Austro-Hungary to a Jewish family and grew upwards in Bratislava (Slovakia). Lichtenfeld became active in a wide range of sports, including gymnastics, wrestling, and boxing. In 1928, Lichtenfeld won the Slovak Youth Wrestling Championship, and in 1929 the adult championship (light and middle weight divisions).^[23] That aforementioned year, he as well won the national boxing championship and an international gymnastics title. During the ensuing decade, Lichtenfeld's able-bodied activities focused mainly on wrestling, both equally a contestant and a trainer.

In the mid-1930s, anti-Semitic riots began to threaten the Jews of Bratislava, Czechoslovakia. Lichtenfeld became the leader of a group of Jewish boxers and wrestlers who took to the streets to defend Jewish neighborhoods against the growing numbers of anti-Semitic Nazis. Lichtenfeld quickly discovered, however, that actual fighting was very different from competition fighting, and although battle and wrestling were good sports, they were non ever applied for the aggressive and vicious nature of street gainsay. It was then that he started to re-evaluate his ideas most fighting and started developing the skills and techniques that would eventually get Krav Maga. Having go a thorn in the side of the equally anti-Semitic local government, in 1940 Lichtenfeld left his home with his family unit and friends on the last refugee send to escape Europe.

After making his way to Mandatory Palestine, Lichtenfeld joined the Haganah paramilitary arrangement.^[24] In 1944 Lichtenfeld began training fighters in his areas of expertise: physical fitness, swimming, wrestling, use of the knife, and defense against knife attacks. During this period, Lichtenfeld trained several elite units of the Haganah including Palmach (striking forcefulness of the Haganah and forerunner of the special units of the Israel Defense Forces) and the Pal-Yam, as well every bit groups of police officers.

In 1948, when the Land of Israel was founded and the IDF was formed, Lichtenfeld became Master Instructor for Physical Fettle and Krav Maga at the IDF School of Combat Fitness. He served in the IDF for well-nigh 20 years, during which fourth dimension he adult and refined his unique method for self-defence force and hand-to-paw combat. ^[25] Self-defense was non a new concept, since nearly all martial arts had developed some form of defensive techniques in their quest for tournament or sport dominance. However, self-defense was based strictly upon the scientific and dynamic principles of the human body. In 1965 judo training was added every bit part of the Krav Maga grooming. Until 1968 there were no grades in Krav Maga. Then a trainee's grades were determined largely past his knowledge in judo.^{[26] [27]}

In 1968 Eli Avikzar, Lichtenfeld's principal student and first black belt,^[28] began learning aikido. In 1971 Eli left for France, where he received a blackness chugalug in aikido.^[29] Upon his return, Avikzar started working as an instructor alongside Imi to integrate more than traditional martial arts into krav maga.^[30] And then in 1974 Imre retired and gave Eli Avikzar control over the Krav Maga training center in Netanya.^[31] Soon after, in 1976, Avikzar joined the permanent forcefulness of IDF, every bit head of the Krav Maga section. The role of Krav Maga in the ground forces avant-garde greatly after Eli'southward engagement. More courses were given and every P.E. instructor was obliged to learn Krav Maga. Avikzar continued to develop Krav Maga within the IDF until his retirement in 1987. Up to this date, Eli had trained lxxx,000 male soldiers and 12,000 female person soldiers.^[28]

Further pursuing excellence every bit a pupil of martial arts, Eli went to Germany in 1977 and received a black belt in aikido from the European Federation.^[32] In 1978 the Krav Maga association was established, and in 1989, as an active member of the judo association, Eli Avikzar helped to plant the professional and rank committees past founding the Israeli Krav Maga Association (IKMA or KAMI).^{[32] [33]} Eli retired as the Primary Krav Maga instructor in 1987 and Boaz Aviram became the third person to hold the position, beingness the last head instructor to take studied direct with both Lichtenfeld and Avikzar.^{[27] [34]}

Krav Maga in the Israeli regime [edit]

The IDF offers a five-week Krav Maga instructor class.^[35] It has held an almanac Krav Maga contest since May 2013.^[36]

Krav Maga for civilians [edit]

Upon Imi Lichtenfeld's retirement from the IDF, he decided to open a schoolhouse and teach Krav Maga to civilians.^[37] The offset Krav Maga form took place at the Wingate Institute, Netanya, Israel, in 1971, nether his directly supervision.^{[38] [39]}

Lichtenfeld died in January 1998 in Netanya, Israel.^[forty]

Grading system [edit]

Most of the Krav Maga organizations in Israel utilize Imi Lichtenfeld's colored belt grading arrangement which is based upon the Judo ranking system. It starts with white chugalug, then yellow, orangish, light-green, blue, brown and black belts. Black belt students can move up the ranks from 1st to 9th Dan. The time and requirements for advancing accept some differences between the organizations.

Other organizations that teach Krav Maga in and outside of State of israel utilize like grading systems.^[41]

A patch system was adult by Eyal Yanilov in the tardily 1980s. The grades are divided into three master categories; Practitioner, Graduate and Expert. Each of the categories, which are often abbreviated to their initials, has five ranks. Grades P1 through to P5 are the student levels and make up the majority of the Krav Maga customs.^[42] After P5 are G1-G5, and in order to reach Graduate level the student has to demonstrate a proficiency in all of the P level techniques before advancing.^[43]

Although at that place are some subtle differences, the various organizations teach the aforementioned core techniques and principles.^[44] Some other organizations have less formal grading ranks without belts or patches only do accept levels by which students tin can monitor their progress.^[45]

Sparring [edit]

In some organizations sparring is wearisome and lite until the student reaches G2 level. This takes approximately four to six years considering rise one level in the Practitioner and Graduate categories takes at minimum one-half a year of consistent training. Information technology is, however, more common to notice regular trainees grading only once a year from P3 and up.^[46]

In one case in G2, students also do simulated "real" fighting with protective gear.^[47]
