SAMI-X Krav Maga
About SAMI-X Krav Maga
Krav Maga combines techniques from boxing, kickboxing, knife fighting, stick fighting, Aikido, Karate, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu and many more. One principle of Krav Maga is training a person's natural reflexes in a way that they can be applied effectively in dangerous situations. The basics you have been taught are simply combined with additional, dynamic moves. This freedom to improvise allows quick adaptation to any situation.
Origins of Krav Maga
Krav Maga was devised by Imi Lichtenfeld in Bratislava, modern day Slovakia, in the early 1940s. Following his escape to Palestine and Israel's establishment, he became a close quarters combat instructor for the Israeli Army. The system is now taught to Israeli Security Forces, military, Mossad, and Police.
The system was developed to reach maximum proficiency in the shortest time and to withstand violent situations as well as mental stress. Military Krav Maga has been adapted extensively for civilian use, becoming highly efficient and extremely practice-oriented.
Philosophy & Approach
Krav Maga is based on instinctive and natural moves and reflexes, which do not require lengthy practice and can be recalled even under extreme mental pressure. Training incorporates the latest insights in training methods without relying on tradition or esoteric elements common in Asian martial arts.
The instructor is a person who helps us to broaden our knowledge of self-defense; he is not an object of admiration. Krav Maga is a constantly evolving system — we strive for development and better solutions. The system must be adapted to the person, not vice versa!
