Krav Maga History.

Created and developed by Imi Lichtenfeld and the Israeli Defense Force, Krav Maga only came into the civilian sphere in 1965.

It grew outside of Israel in the early 1980s and is now popular around the world, being used not only by military and security forces but civillians as well.

When Lichtenfeld was given the task of creating a fighting system for the fledgling IDF, he studied how soldiers reacted under intense stress and pressure.

Having studied people's instinctive reactions under pressure to various forms of attack, he then amplified those natural movements and so created Krav Maga, more than 50 years ago. Since then it has been adopted by more than 60 agencies in the US alone, including the FBI, the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the Beverley Hills Police Department, as well as by Finnish paratroopers.
