Krav Maga is a practical self-defense and combat system developed in Israel that focuses on realistic, instinctual responses to threats like knife and gun attacks, and multiple attackers. Translating to “contact combat” in Hebrew, it’s not a traditional martial art but a fighting system used by military, law enforcement, and civilians worldwide to teach rapid, effective self-protection techniques.
