The Origins of Krav Maga: Built for Real-World Survival
Krav Maga (Hebrew for “contact combat”) was developed in the 1940s by Imi Lichtenfeld to prepare the Israeli Defense Forces for real-life confrontations. It was created not for sport, but for survival.
Since then, it has become the leading self-defense system for law enforcement, military, and civilians worldwide.
Now, Krav Maga is accessible to everyone—right here at United Security Training Academy in Henderson.
