Krav Maga Self Defense System for Law Enforcment

WHAT IS KRAV MAGA? OVERVIEW Krav Maga (meaning: Contact Combat) is one of the quickest growing tactical self defense systems world wide. This system was originally developed for the Israeli Defense and Security Forces in Israel. It consists of a wide combination of techniques sourced from boxing, Muay Thai, Wing Chun, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, and grappling, along with realistic fight training. HISTORY In the mid-193Os, anti-Semitic riots began to threaten the Jews in Europe. Imre Lichtenfeld, the founder of Krav Maga became the leader of a group of Jewish boxers and wrestlers. They took to the streets to defend Jewish neighborhoods against the growing numbers of fascist thugs and racism throughout Europe. Lichtenfeld quickly discovered that fighting was very different from competition fighting. He started to re-evaluate his ideas about fighting, and started developing the skills and techniques that would eventually become Krav Maga. HOW IS IT DIFFERENT? Most attacks do not occur in the comfort environment of a training hall. Krav Maga training is predicated on the fact that attacks and life threatening situations can occur anywhere and in an instant. You will train to overcome and/or compensate for the effects of shock, deterioration of fine motor skills, tunnel vision and other factors. Our techniques have been developed in real world situations and have been used by civilians and policemen trained in the system. WHAT WILL YOU LEARN? • The self confidence to identify, avoid and, if necessary, neutralize an attack. • How to function effectively under the stress and shock of a sudden attack. • How to defend against a number of common attacks such as chokes, bear hugs, punches, attacks on the ground and weapons such as guns, knives and sticks. • You will also increase your fitness level. ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT Since Krav Maga origins are in the Israeli Military, the Krav Maga system is extremely effective for law enforcement groups. The Krav Maga instructor is required to have specialized training to be qualified to train in this sector. Krav Maga is extremely effective for extensive training in a range of law enforcement groups, VIP protection officers, anti-terrorist units and security personnel in defensive tactics and hand-to-hand combat. Seminars and custom-made courses in Krav Maga for law enforcement and security applications are available for appropriate groups.
