The Aim of Krav Maga

As described to us by the founder of Krav Maga,
Imi Lichtenfeld (1910-1998)

“To educate and build people mentally, spiritually and physically, so that in a time of need one will be able to defend and attack with maximum speed and efficiency.

To establish in one a sense of self worth.

To work toward the bringing together of hearts and ending violence around the world, between all peoples, irrespective of color, race or religion.”

Shaping the future

 The founders of the organization are currently instructors for Krav Maga and experienced in both civilian and defense fields. The founder’s deep familiarity with the Krav Maga technique inspired them to create a new establishment while preserving Krav Maga’s principles.
