INTRODUCTION<br />
The <strong>Krav</strong> <strong>Maga</strong> National Training Center, in conjunction with the<br />
<strong>Krav</strong> <strong>Maga</strong> Association of America, Inc., and the International<br />
<strong>Krav</strong> <strong>Maga</strong> Federation (Netanya, Israel), is pleased to present<br />
you with this student handbook of <strong>Krav</strong> <strong>Maga</strong> self defense<br />
exercises and fighting techniques. As you may well be aware,<br />
<strong>Krav</strong> <strong>Maga</strong> is the official system of self defense employed by the<br />
Israeli Defense Forces, Israeli Anti-terrorist Units and various<br />
branches of the Israeli Security Forces. More recently the system<br />
has been taught to, and praised by, the men and women of<br />
American law enforcement.<br />
<strong>Krav</strong> <strong>Maga</strong> emerged in an environment where extreme violence<br />
was common. It has had ample opportunity to be tested and<br />
improved under real life conditions, proving itself to be an ideal<br />
and realistic means of defending oneself in the face of life<br />
threatening danger. No defensive tactics program in the<br />
world is more battle tested than <strong>Krav</strong> <strong>Maga</strong>.<br />
Although the curriculum contained herein is logically<br />
organized by way of a progressive belt testing system, the<br />
promulgation and distribution of belts is certainly not the goal of<br />
the system. The <strong>Krav</strong> <strong>Maga</strong> belt testing system has not only<br />
been carefully conceived, but also has been designed to<br />
motivate student participants, and foster and encourage a<br />
positive learning atmosphere. Most importantly, the belt system<br />
aids in the overall organization of subject matter and curriculum<br />
within the existing class levels.<br />
Our most important goal at the <strong>Krav</strong> <strong>Maga</strong> National Training<br />
Center is to help you develop the ability to quickly and efficiently<br />
defend against any conceivable threat to you, a friend, or a<br />
family member. When reviewing the enclosed material, be<br />
mindful that students usually advance through the system at<br />
different paces. The most important thing is to attain the actual<br />
ability to perform realistic defenses against a variety of attacks,<br />
whether the assailant is armed or unarmed. While achieving an<br />
advanced belt level is important, it should be secondary to your<br />
pursuit of knowledge….’so one may walk in peace.’<br />
