Krav Maga

Krav Maga is one of the most violent and widely used defensive fighting styles used in America today. Originating in Israel, it combines various martial arts techniques, creating a practical and intricate method of self-defense. Per Bob Riha Jr of USA Today ‘’Krav Maga (pronounced KRAHV muh-GAH), Hebrew for "contact combat," is the creation of Imi Lichtenfeld, a who fought with a paramilitary organization during Israel's 1948 war for independence.’’ This essay will analys the methods, developmental history, as well as a live demonstration of Krav Maga. Lichtenfeld was born to a Jewish family in Slovakia, where he grew up to become a professional boxer, gymnast, and a champion wrestler. He began developing Krav Maga techniques around 1930, when anti-Semitic gangs began terrorizing predominantly Jewish neighborhoods and places of business. Which eventually resulted in modern day krav. He wanted to develop a means of defense that would be as effective as it would be accessible to whom ever needed it, whether that be a business man or a trained soldier. Riha also goes on to say ‘’ Lichtenfeld, who died in 1998, brought Krav Maga to the United States about 20 years ago and first marketed it as a hand-to-hand combat system for police departments.’’2 Freedom Martial Arts in Ludington Michigan looks a whole lot larger on the inside than on the outside.

I did not particularly care that I was skinny until I was bullied by some kids in my neighbourhood. They pointed out that you could see my rib bones, and called me chicken legs. This left me feeling ashamed of both my body and myself. When I was 15, I promised myself that I would learn to love myself…

Her mother and her had very little money and lived in a one bedroom apartment until her big break. When Dorothy took her to the audition, she’d never expected to get the role of Patsy. Hell, she hardly knew what the audition was for. Alas, her show blew up, and with it, came a long, illustrious career as a childhood actress. She had her own line of toys, a comic book based…

others to do the same. Similar to this, I believe in 24-hour mutual respect, which is something that we reinforce at the SLTP during each conference. This is essential to growth and in the residence halls. I give away respect unconditionally. Sincerity, honesty, and integrity are also essential qualities I apply regularly.
