Krav Maga is a combat system developed in the middle of the last century to train the Israeli. It is based on a scientific and realistic approach to combat according to which, in a dangerous situation, the primary objectives are protection of self and others and neutralization of an obstacle in the shortest time possible and with minimum physical effort. To achieve this goal, it is essential to act on sensitive body points of the aggressor. Imi Lichtenfeld, considered the "father" of Krav Maga, combined techniques from different martial arts and fighting disciplines, to create a highly effective and easy to learn method, that counter attacks with bare hands, blades, firearms or blunt objects. Krav Maga (literally "close combat") is also referred to as an "open system", because it is constantly updated and improved based on the experiences of real life situations. Today Krav Maga is widely used in everyday life, where it has proven to be the ideal system of self-defense. Unlike many other martial arts, Krav Maga is not considered a sport, in fact there aren’t matches or Krav Maga champions because of the absence of rules to safeguard the opponent, and because in a real combat situation there are no banned hits or referees.
Krav Maga was developed in the military context and for years has been exclusively used by soldiers and special forces. Over the years it has been gradually used by law enforcement and security personnel, establishing itself as a ideal for self-defense for civilians. The Krav Maga learning curve is low compared to traditional martial arts and its teachings are directed to all audiences including women and older people through the use of techniques designed to make the most of the physical and psychological possibilities of the students
