Krav Maga
Israeli defense system
Krav Maga is an Israeli self-defense system developed for military use and later adapted for civilians.
It emphasizes practical techniques for real-world confrontations—neutralizing threats quickly through strikes, holds, and disarming moves.
Unlike traditional martial arts, Krav Maga focuses on instinctive responses and efficiency rather than forms or sport competition: She started taking Krav Maga after moving to the city.
