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 />
