The Krav Maga style was developed on the streets and proven on the battlefield. It continues to evolve. Krav Maga is not a sport nor entertainment exhibition. Anything that can avoid a situation, keep you safe, defend, and provide an access to evade and escape is employed, including, preemptive strikes, groin strikes, joint breaks, eye jabs, chokes, throws, and nerve/motor points of the body.

Some Background Information About Krav Maga

Loosely translated from the Hebrew Language, “Krav Maga” means “close quarter fighting”. It delivers a very strong and applicable system of self-defense, reliable techniques, and the simple, direct movements to neutralize an opponent quickly, and brutally if necessary. The techniques are solidly grounded and easily applied for urban combat against one or more assailants, gun, knife, hand-to-hand, and intermediate weapons.

Krav Maga is a fighting style that was developed from the defensive, street fighting techniques of Jewish gangs in Europe. It was adapted and developed by Imi Lichtenfeld who trained several elite units of the Haganah and Palmach (strike force and forerunner of the Israeli Defense Force [IDF]), and police officers. Krav Maga was adapted and further developed by Lichtenfeld for Israeli security forces when the nation was founded. Lichtenfeld continued to develop Krav Maga after his retirement from the IDF.

It became the most effective self-defense source of training for special forces engaging both armed and unarmed attacks. Krav Maga is considered the most practical self-defense system in the world. Today, it is used by military, special forces, security services, law enforcement, and intelligence organizations.

Here’s What People Who Train Have to Say About Krav Maga

“When I started training in the Krav Maga classes at Makowski’s Martial Arts, my hope was to shape a basic foundation of self-defense prior to attending a required, month-long law enforcement training for my professional development. When I arrived at my initial class, everyone was very welcoming and helpful.

The Makowskis knew my objective and helped me to get to where I wanted to be. After returning from attending the month-long law enforcement training, I was excited to share that my Krav Maga training at Makowski’s prepared me well. I already knew 95% of the content that was covered at the required month-long training.

I highly recommend the Krav Maga classes. The law enforcement training classes  and the civilian classes always present valuable and insightful content from concept to application. The Makowskis helped me to achieve my goal and to perform well I my law enforcement position. I am excited about continuing Krav Maga training with Makowski’s Martial Arts. In fact, now my husband and teen daughters are training too.”
