The Emeth Krav Maga discipline originated from KRAV MAGA, created by IMI LICHTENFELD, whose philosophy was to provide an individual the basic tools needed to combat, defend and fight against an attacker or enemy, regardless of the place or environment.   IMI LICHTENFELD’s philosophy is based on the need to defend quickly and instinctively.

KRAV MAGA is a self-defense and survival system that uses a person’s natural instincts and reflexes against an attached or enemy.  The KRAV MAGA philosophy is based on awareness and mental conditioning to react physically with speed, economy of motion and the appropriate measure of force, without doing more than necessary.  KRAV MAGA utilizes the concept of continuous motion, or “retzef” in Hebrew, for self-defense.  KRAV MAGA’s world-renowned survival and defense system incorporates both simple and advanced disarming and subduing techniques against an attacker’s threats and objects, including knives, handguns, rifles and weapons, for soldiers, military combatants, law enforcement and civilians.
