History[edit]
Imrich /ichtenfeld )also kno#n as Imi "de*0r+ #as born in &1&2 in 3udapest, 4ungary and
gre# up in 3ratislava )"lovakia+. /ichtenfeld became active in a #ide range of sports,
including gymnastics, #restling, and bo!ing. In &156, /ichtenfeld #on the "lovakian 7outh
8restling (hampionship, and in &151 the adult championship )light and middle #eight
divisions+. ,hat same year, he also #on the national bo!ing championship and an
international gymnastics championship. uring the ensuing decade, Imi-s athletic activities
focused mainly on #restling, both as a contestant and a trainer.
In the mid*&192s, anti*"emitic riots began to threaten the :e#s of 3ratislava. /ichtenfeld
became the leader of a group of :e#ish bo!ers and #restlers #ho took to the streets to
defend :e#ish neighborhoods against the gro#ing numbers of national socialist party and
anti*"emitic thugs. /ichtenfeld quickly discovered, ho#ever, that actual fighting #as very
different from competition fighting, and although bo!ing and #restling #ere good sports, they
#ere not al#ays practical for the aggressive and brutal nature of street combat. It #as then
that he started to re*evaluate his ideas about fighting and started developing the skills and
techniques that #ould eventually become Krav Maga. 4aving become a thorn in the side of
the equally anti*"emitic local authorities, /ichtenfeld left his home, family and friends in &1;2
on the last refugee ship to escape <urope.
After making his #ay to the Middle <ast, /ichtenfeld joined Israel=s pre*
state 4aganah paramilitary organi.ation to protect :e#ish refugees from local inhabitants. In
&1;; /ichtenfeld began training fighters in his areas of e!pertise$ physical fitness, s#imming,
#restling, use of the knife, and defence against knife attacks. uring this period, /ichtenfeld
trained several elite units of the 4aganah and >almach )striking force of the 4aganah and
forerunner of the special units of the Israel efense ?orces+, including the >al*7am, as #ell
as groups of police officers.
In &1;6, #hen the "tate of Israel #as founded and the I? #as formed, /ichtenfeld became
(hief Instructor for >hysical ?itness and Krav Maga at the I? "chool of (ombat ?itness. 4e
served in the I? for about 52 years, during #hich time he developed and refined his unique
method for self*defense and hand*to*hand combat. "elf*defense #as not a ne# concept,
since nearly all martial arts had developed some form of defensive techniques in their quest
for tournament or sport dominance. 4o#ever, self*defense #as based strictly upon the
scientific and dynamic principles of the human body. 3efore retiring from the military,
/ichtenfeld elected <li Avik.ar his military successor. 8ith /ichtenfeld-s blessing, Avik.ar
#ent on to strengthen Krav Maga #ith the addition of ne# techniques #hich maintained Krav
Maga-s central principles of ma!imum effectiveness and efficiency. 3oa. Aviram succeeded
Avik.ar as (hief Instructor, and #as follo#ed only by a handful of others.

Bpon Imrich /ichtenfeld-s retirement he decided to open a ojo Martial Art school and teach
a civilian form of the military form of Krav Maga intending to keep most of the secrets of the
system in the military, but yet teach a civilian version suitable for youth.

,he first Krav
Maga course took place at the 8ingate Institute, Cetanya, Israel, in &1D&, under the direct

8hen Krav Maga started to spread beyond the borders of Israel, there arose a need to found
an international civilian organi.ation. A fe# of /ichtenfeld-s first and second generation
students, among these being Arviat Fagal, Asaf 4alevi and an /evy, eventually formed a
ne#, civilian, international Krav Maga federation.
Krav Maga Hk r=> v m I ?@ => H )4ebre#$ AB C DE FG HIJC % k av ma a' ? K ?@ , lit. @contact combat@+ is a
martial art and self*defense system developed for the military in Israel that consists of a #ide
combination of techniques sourced from bo!ing, savate, Muay ,hai, 8ing (hun, :udo,jiu*
jitsu, #restling, and grappling, along #ith realistic fight training. Krav Maga is kno#n for its
focus on real*#orld situations and e!tremely efficient and brutal counter*attacks.
%&'
It #as
derived from street*fighting skills developed by 4ungarian*Israeli martial artistImi /ichtenfeld,
#ho made use of his training as a bo!er and #restler as a means of defending the :e#ish
quarter against fascist groups in 3ratislava

in the mid*to*late &192s. In the late &1;2s,
follo#ing his immigration to >alestine, he began to provide lessons on combat training to
#hat #as to become the I?, #ho #ent on to develop the system that became kno#n as
Krav Maga. It has since been refined for civilian, police and military applications.

Krav Maga has a philosophy emphasi.ing threat neutrali.ation, simultaneous defensive and
offensive maneuvers, and aggression.

Krav Maga is used by Israeli efense ?orces, both
regular and special forces, and several closely related variations have been developed and
adopted by la# enforcement and intelligence organi.ations, Mossad and "hin 3et. ,here are
several organi.ations teaching variations of Krav Maga internationally.

Most of the Krav Maga organi.ations in Israel, such as the IKMA )Israeli Krav Maga
Association, by 4aim Eidon+, KM? )Krav Maga ?ederation, by 4aim Fut+ and 3ukan )3y
7aron /ichtenstein+, as #ell as international KM8 )Krav Maga 8orld#ide, by arren /evine+,

use Imi /ichtenfeld-s colored belt grading system #hich is based upon the :udo ranking
system. It starts #ith 8hite belt, and then 7ello#, 0range, Ereen, 3lue, 3ro#n and 3lack
belts. 3lack belt students can move up the ranks from &st to 1th an. ,he time and
requirements for advancing have some differences bet#een the organi.ations. In <urope the
?LdLration <uropLenne de Krav Maga )by Master Aichard ouieb+ and Krav Maga Academy
"lovenia )by Master Karli Faniug+ also uses the colored belt grading system #hich is based
upon the :udo ranking system.
0ther organi.ations #ho teach Krav Maga in and outside of Israel like the International Krav
Maga ?ederation )IKM?+, Krav Maga Elobal )KME+ and International Krav Maga )IKM+ use
the same grading system based on a series of patches.
%&K'
,he patch system #as developed
by Imi /ichtenfeld after the belt system in the late &162s. ,he grades are divided into 9 main
categories; >ractitioner, Eraduate and <!pert. <ach of the categories, #hich are often
abbreviated to their initials, has J ranks. Erades >& through to >J are the student levels and
make up the majority of the Krav Maga community. After >J are E&*EJ, and in order to
achieve Eraduate level the student has to demonstrate a proficiency in all of the > level
techniques before advancing. ,he majority of instructors hold a E level grade and are civilian
instructors. 4o#ever, passing the instructor-s training course is a requirement, and holding a
Eraduate rank does not necessarily make one an instructor. ,he Eraduate syllabus also
builds on the >ractitioner syllabus by focusing more on developing fighting skills. ,he <!pert
grades cover more advanced military and 9rd party protection techniques as #ell as
advanced sparring and fighting skills. >eople #ho hold these ranks tend to teach in other
sectors such as military and la# enforcement in addition to civilian. In order to progress to
<!pert level, one has to demonstrate proficiency in all of the >ractitioner and Eraduate
syllabi and have e!cellent fighting skills. 3eyond <!pert J there is the rank of Master.
4o#ever, this rank is held by only a small number of individuals and reserved only for those
#ho have dedicated a lifetime to Krav Maga and made valuable contributions in teaching
and promoting the style.
Krav Maga organi.ations in the Bnited "tates, "outh America and <urope such as Krav

?ederation of Krav Maga, ?LdLration <uropLenne de Krav*Maga )<uropean ?ederation of
Krav Maga+, 4agana "ystem and Krav Maga Academy "lovenia )KMA"+ also use a belt
ranking system like that of the IKMA, KM? and 3ukan. Although there are some subtle
differences, the various organisations teach the same core techniques and principles.
