KRAV MAGA - THE MARTIAL ART
HAND TO HAND COMBAT
Krav Maga is the most effective martial art in existence for self defense.
The art provides students with the skills needed to end an attack as quickly as possible.
A street fight is not confined to a weight class, hands are not wrapped to protect fists, and there is no referee to decide when a fighter is too injured to continue.
0-60 IN .2 SECONDS
“The difference between how I do the technique and how you do it is my attitude. I turn my attacker into the victim immediately.”
– Rhon Mizrachi
Part of training is learning that in a fight the victim must be able to turn the tables quickly. Once they are attacked they are no longer the victim, now the victim becomes the aggressor.
Students of Krav Maga learn a multitude of self defense techniques and strikes, including defenses against sticks, knives, guns and multiple attackers.
Because there are no rules in self defense, and Krav Maga specifically targets vulnerable targets, it is not a competitive art.

NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU
The material in the art of Krav Maga ( beyond law enforcement and military applications which are taught to advanced students) is based on one premise; you can only rely on yourself if attacked.
Realistic and intense training is emphasized, and sparring is an important part of the curriculum and students train with the assumption that attackers are bigger, stronger, and have “friends.”
Principles of Krav Maga include:
- Never trying to match an opponent’s strength
- Always striking to vulnerable targets
- For every defensive maneuver there is a simultaneous offensive technique
No one is coming to save you.
WHITE THROUGH BLACK BELT
Krav Maga founder Imi Lichtenfeld implemented the belted system (White through 5 Dans of Black Belt) in order to indicate rank in the art of Krav Maga.
Learning the art of Krav Maga requires dedication and hard work. Training requires both physical and mental concentration.
Testing for rank allows instructors to determine a students knowledge of and ability in Krav Maga. Because advanced material and sparring become more intense and aggressive, testing also ensures that students have the skills required to move forward safely.
Rhon Mizrachi Krav Maga Federation students are committed and dedicated to their training, instructors and fellow students.
