Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense is renowned for being the best self-defense system because of the principles that it’s founder, Imi Lichtenfeld, believed in. Imi was a Nazi resistance fighter during WW2 before moving to Israel and being put in charge of training the country’s newly formed military. Imi created Krav Maga as way of brining people with little to no hand-to-hand combat experience to a high level of proficiency in hand-to-hand combat, in a very short period of time.
It’s essential that students learn striking techniques so that they can effectively counterattack and do damage to an attacker or an opponent. Krav Maga teaches students how to fight with punches, kicks, knees, and elbows. To be well rounded in self-defense it is essential to be able to use all of these striking techniques.
It’s all about defending yourself so you can neutralize a threat or attacker, and survive. As a result of this mentality there is no technique that is considered “dirty” or “illegal” in Krav Maga if it means the difference in surviving an assault. This is another huge benefit of Krav Maga. Students are taught to target areas like the groin, eyes, and throat on an attacker because strikes to these targets illicit an involuntary response that can also impede functions like breathing, seeing, standing, etc.
