The Krav Maga is a fighting method originated in Jewish circles in Central and Eastern Europe in the first half of the twentieth century the word Krav Maga in Modern Hebrew, literally means "contact combat." The translation used is still more "combat". Although it is often referred to as a fighting style designed to self-defense, Krav Maga actually has a component that is often offensive plan to attack the 'enemy before being attacked, is therefore not seen as purely self-defense reaction to aggression .
Krav Maga comes from the work of synthesis of Imi Lichtenfeld Israeli army statement on the early '50s, alongside the birth of the state of Israel, Lichtenfeld was asked to develop a combat system is effective but quick to learn, to train the fledgling Israeli armed forces, now engaged in a hard struggle.
Lichtenfeld's experience heavily influenced the style and philosophy of Krav Maga. Great gymnast, boxer and champion of wrestling, the theoretical foundation added a great experience of street fighting, gained in a youth passed in part to fight for life in German-occupied streets of Bratislava.
Features
Krav Maga is a "fighting technique" simple and practical (who prefers not to call the practice "martial art"). Krav Maga prefers an offensive approach that characterizes this battle system.
where often many martial arts (including even those from which he drew the Krav Maga, as Judo, Ju Jitsu, Kung fu, etc ...) prefer to wait and see approach that leaves the opponent first move, Krav Maga points to a rapid neutralization of the opponent before they can become a threat. Designed by Imirich Lictenfeld, Krav Maga is a harmonious synthesis of techniques derived from martial arts to fight barehanded systems and methods of the Close Combat Major Firebairn, a mix of open-hand strikes aimed at sensitive points such as nose and throat, boxing-style punches, levers to arts of Judo and Ju-Jitsu, and kicks and knees typical Thay Boxe.
The sensitive points are of three categories:
- Category 1 - provide irreversible damage
- 2 ยช Category - provide broken bones, lacerations and KO
- 3rd Category - provide pain relief without KO
Sensitive points in front of the body and Product Category:
- Eyes (1st cat.)
- Temple (1st cat.)
- Atlas (1st cat.)
- Gorge (1 / 2 Cat.)
- Genitalia (1 / 2 Cat.)
- solar plexus (1 \\ 2 \\ 3 Cat.)
- Front (2nd cat.)
- nose cartilage (3rd cat.)
sensitive points on the side of the body and its category:
- side of the neck (1 / 2 Cat.)
- Knee (2nd cat.)
- Liver (2nd cat.)
- Reni ( 2 Cat.)
- Quadriceps (3rd cat.)
sensitive points in the back of the body and its category:
- Cerebellum (1st cat)
- Achilles tendon (2 \\ 3 ° cat.)
head, neck and genitals, belonging to the 1st \\ 2nd category and are fighting hard to defend at the same time.
This approach, suitable for high-risk environments such as the theater of operations in the Middle East, could cause problems in everyday situations: in fact the aggressive and anticipatory approach could lead to complications of a criminal nature. Therefore, as part of civil defense, Krav Maga is taught by experienced instructors to be used only in extreme cases of danger to their lives (by street violence, attempted rape, assault with a deadly weapon, etc ...) .
Classification of Krav Maga fighting system as close (as well shows the translation of the name) is also evident in its lack of ability to be played as competitive sports. Focusing mainly on areas of the body (genitals, carotid , eyes, etc..), Usually considered untouchable for other contact sports, Krav Maga is unlikely to be practiced in the form of sport, as with Karate, Tae Kwon Do and other combat sports. Unlike martial arts gestures ritualize Krav-Maga is a combat system pragmatically. Every gesture is important, every shot headed for a sensitive point.
In addition, the great attention which is preparing to face enemies armed with weapons such as pistols and rifles, to understand the very specific use of this combat system, in which the clash between two opponents with his bare hands is just one option.
What does the logo of Krav Maga?
The Krav Maga logo consists of the letters K and M written in Hebrew, in an artistic way and combined to form the shape of symbol. The K and M are surrounded by an open circle because the system can always be improved by adding or canceling techniques, exercises and training techniques. Imi Lichtenfeld, the Grand Master of Krav Maga, said about the logo: "good things can continue to enter the system and things can get out of rough" .
Diffusion
Following the dissemination made possible thanks to the first student of Imi Lichtenfeld, as well as in Israel, Krav Maga has spread to countries where there is a strong presence of Jewish communities and have developed solid channels of cooperation in military and intelligence.
why the major schools of combat and the growth of these systems are located in the U.S. Russia, France and Italy, all countries that have strong ties with Israel and the Jewish world. Krav Maga is taught in the academies of the most famous secret service (Mossad, CIA, etc ...) and special forces police (like the FBI) \u200b\u200bwith a more massive spread in Italy between the Police (Polizia di Stato , Police, local police etc. ..), the elite military units until you get to security operators and private security (eg guards).
a decade in this part of the Krav Maga has become a reality for ordinary citizens in self-defense (self defense), as the different associations and organizations have existing scientifically studied and developed specific methods suitable for each individual, of all sizes (men, women and children), which lend themselves to self-defense in any place and situation (on foot, by car, in a closed or open, etc ...) .
Currently there is an international federation which reference the individual and often different national federations. However, the absence of a proper school uniform with an associated style, has given rise to many variations depending on the influence of individual teachers in different countries.
