Just like most people in the world, we all want to be able to defend ourselves against an attacker. Krav Maga was created in the 1930s to help the Jews in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, against unfriendly fascists. It wasn't taught in a studio; it was taught by Imre Lichtenfeld to his friends and neighbors so they could defend themselves in the streets against the violence there.

Krav Maga, for those who may not know, is a fighting and self-defense system. This fighting style is designed as an intuitive and practical self-defense system for people all shapes, sizes, and ages. It doesn't just try to teach you to fight, but instead to develop your own instinctual reactions. Krav Maga came about in the 1950s and worked to combine the most effective techniques in several different fight training and martial arts.
