WHAT IS KRAV MAGA?
WHAT IS KRAV MAGA?
The words krav maga mean “close contact” in
Hebrew, and the martial art defined by them focuses
on just that. Developed by Imi Lichtenfeld, a Jewish
man and the son of a martial arts instructor in Eastern
Europe, the discipline is well known for its brutality.
Unlike other martial arts, it utilizes street-fighting
techniques like eye pokes and groin kicks.
Practitioners have commented that it may not always
look pretty, but it is extremely effective.
WHAT IS KRAV MAGA?
The martial art owes its existence to 20th-century strife
in Czechoslovakia. Lichtenfeld began developing his
style while fighting with Nazi gangs on the streets in the
1930s. After World War II and the foundation of Israel,
he refined his style into the system that became krav
maga. The martial art has gone on to become an
important part of Israeli Defense Forces training.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Philanthropist and businessman Anthony Jean-
Claude, who presently serves as President of Maryland
Green BioFuel, maintains an interest in a variety of
athletic activities and martial arts, including krav
maga.
