Krav Maga – Close Quarter Combat Israeli styleKrav Maga is Hebrew for close quarter combat; fighting for survival up close and personal.
The nation of Israel was born in a struggle. Our patriarch Jacob wrestled with an angel in the form of a man. When he emerged victorious the angel changed Jacob's name to Israel, meaning "One who has wrestled with God" and said, "You have wrestled with God and with man and have prevailed." Ever since then the nation of Israel had been fighting for survival. The ancient people of Israel were a nation of warriors. The patriarch Abraham trained all the members of his household in combat, the sons of Jacob were fierce warriors and masters of the sword. The judges of Israel combined life wisdom with combat prowess; Ehud Ben Gerah was a master of the dagger, Deborah the Prophetess led Israel in battle, Samson slew the Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey. Modern Krav-Maga is but a continuation of this ancient struggle. The people of Israel are still fighting for survival.

The ancient Hebrew warrior has risen again. From the Warsaw ghetto revolt to the partisans in the forests of Poland, to the Israel Defense Forces, Jews have followed the words of Ze'ev Vladimir Jabotinsky and have taken up arms to defend themselves. Krav Maga is the unarmed portion of combat; defense against guns, knives, sticks, and hand to hand combat. It is a simple, user friendly style, designed to meet the needs of modern self defense. Unlike traditional styles it is constantly being revised based on lessons learned on the battlefield and in combating terrorists.
Cutting Edge Krav Maga Our Krav techniques are constantly being evaluated and upgraded. Full contact training, and lessons drawn from real life cases, form the basis of our constant reevaluation. This keeps us on the cutting edge of reality training. We are innovators, not imitators.
Our first time students, lacking any previous training, are often surprised at how easy it is to learn. Krav-Maga uses natural body movements to create techniques that are easy for the body to learn and retain and use in high stress situations. We use few techniques but apply them to many situations. Using rubber knives and guns we act our realistic scenarios in a safe and fun environment. The students have a good time and walk away feeling empowered. Our Students
