Krav Maga is an Israeli self-defense technique developed

by the Israeli Army. In Hebrew, the term Krav Maga

literally means "contact combat." It is a self- defence

technique where strength, gender age and size is not a

hindrance in defending oneself. It is a non-competitive

tactical martial technique that 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. Krav Maga is known for

its focus on real-world situations and extremely efficient

and brutal counter-attacks.[1] It was derived from street-

fighting skills and has a philosophy emphasizing threat

neutralization, simultaneous defensive and offensive

maneuvers. The key issues covered in a self-defence

training workshop are:

How to escape stalkers How to break grips and locks How to attack and defend yourself Using everyday objects as weapons of defense

Self-defence just serves as one face of the coin. The

threatening situation for somebody else. The ability the
