The Six principals of Krav Maga are:

• Neutralize all threats
• Switch from defensive to offensive maneuvers quickly
• Avoid injury
• Improvise and create weapons from almost anything
• Strike vulnerable parts of the body and use the body’s natural reflexes
• “Use whatever works”

The objective of a Krav Maga training program is to instruct the participants in practical self-defense techniques, fighting skills, defensive tactics and principles that can be readily utilized as the need rises. The key to the approach is to present a well integrated self-defense and fighting outline with relatively few specific techniques.

The system is designed so that the set of principles which are the fundaments of every technique apply to several potential attacks/scenarios. It is because of this approach that trainees reach a high level of proficiency, mentally and technically, in a relatively short time.

Krav Maga is a modern method characterized by a logical and practical approach. It is an easy to perform, natural, and effective system featuring simple movements and “reflexive” behavior of the human body. It is easy to learn and retain, performed naturally and intuitively, and practically be use under stressful conditions. An essential part of KM is its teaching process, methodology and ways of training.
