ABOUT KRAV MAGA
KRAV MAGA: ORIGIN
Krav Maga is a self-defence system that originated in Israel, which emphasises practical and effective techniques for real-life situations. It was developed by Imi Lichtenfeld, a Hungarian-born Israeli martial artist, who drew on his experience as a boxer, wrestler, and street fighter to create a system that was both effective and easy to learn.

IMI LICHTENFELD
Founder of Krav Maga
Krav Maga translated from Hebrew into English, as ‘Contact Combat’ was initially developed as a hand-to-hand combat system for the Israeli military, but it has since evolved into a popular self-defence system used by civilians around the world.

THE KMG SYSTEM
As a proudly affiliated KMG school, here at Rise Up Krav Maga, we teach the official KMG curriculum and adhere to the KMG principles and training methods. The KMG system comprises of three integrated elements:
SELF-DEFENCE - KMG emphasises practical and effective self-defence techniques that are specifically designed for real-life situations. Training covers a range of techniques, principles, and mindset to empower individuals to overcome various types of physical attacks.
COMBAT & FIGHTING - Mastering fighting skills is crucial for self-defence against real violence. Training encompasses learning punching, kicking, grappling techniques and usage of weapons, including common objects, improvised weapons, and designated weapons. These skills are essential for effective self-defence.
THIRD-PARTY PROTECTION - KMG's training focuses on equipping practitioners with the skills and tactics to protect and defend others, rather than just themselves. Whether it's civilians safeguarding their friends and family, police officers protecting their partners and colleagues, or close protection officers ensuring the safety of VIPs, this training provides the necessary expertise to fulfil these roles effectively.
