Imperfect People Krav Maga
BY MOSHE KATZ
CEO
ISRAELI KRAV INTERNATIONAL
November 11, 2026, Israel
I have a goal with our system of Krav Maga, which we call IKI Krav Maga, to distinguish it from other styles who carry a similar name. I seek a practical self-defense system that is available and usable to all.
Our prices are affordable.
Each and every student worldwide has direct access to the head instructor.
There are no secrets reserved for advanced students or the "Inner Circle".
Each technique must be Easy to Learn, Easy to Apply to a diverse number of situations, and Easy to Remember.
The techniques do not depend upon great athletic skill, youth, or perfect bodies, those fade. People have injuries, health issues. An injury can ruin a professional basketball career; it should not prevent you for learning to defend yourself.
Our techniques do not rely upon Speed, Strength or Precision. Those will fail you in a real-life situation.
IKI Krav Maga is for life, not just for your "Peak athletic years".
Years ago I accidently came up with the phrase, The Perfect System for Imperfect People. and I consider myself the Number One Imperfect Person, the King of Mediocracy.
This phrase was not created by a marketing firm, or by AI, it was a natural slip of the tongue that I recognized as something I should hold on to. It just came out, and I decided it was worth remembering.
Over the years I have seen the results; our system has been adopted by police, law enforcement, security and military all over the world, and of this I am proud. It has been adopted by big strong men, body buildering champions, Kickboxing, Karate, and Judo champions, Bounty Hunters, men whom I would never want to face in the ring. They have seen the advantages of this system, but it has also been adopted by others, and of this I am particularly proud. It has been adopted by the physically weaker and challenged members of society, by older people, and those with injuries or health issues. It has been adopted by women, teenagers, we even have a special program for children. It has been adopted by those who were once young, fit and powerful, but have been privileged to reach an older age where one must adapt to new realities, more limited physical abilities.
Our system is flexible and adaptable for all, those in Olympic peak fitness, and the rest of us regular "imperfect" people.
Last night I received an email for a new IKI Online Member, who attended one of our seminars in Germany.
Three years ago, I started looking into the martial arts and self-defence training opportunities in my area and eventually found a Krav Maga school. I have been training there since 2023.
This year, one of my training partners introduced me to IKI, and we decided to attend the seminar together.
Due to some health issues, I can no longer cope with extremely demanding training sessions. That's why I was so impressed by IKI's straightforward and effective techniques. I would like to continue practicing Krav Maga and self-defence without pushing myself beyond my physical limits, while still being able to defend myself effectively in everyday situations.
When I read this letter, I felt, Saturi! This is exactly what we are all about. Now, don't get me wrong, I have been told we are the system for "fat people, old women etc", nothing can be further from the truth. As I wrote we have been chosen by top police and military units. I have been flown in by the US government to train elite units, but we are "Inclusive", our system works for everyone, not only Special Forces and Elite units, not only those in their peak physical years.
IKI Krav Maga is a constantly evolving system, and we have students who have been with us for over twenty years, and are still learning more every day!
and yet, our system...
Does not take years to learn. You can learn the Foundations of survival in a matter of weeks, not years.
Does not take Youth, great Athletic ability
Does not require Memorization of techniques, but rather Understanding of concepts.
Our system is the Perfect system, for Imperfect people.
