Origins
Krav Maga was founded in pre-World War II eastern Europe. Imre Litchenfeld (a Jewish martial artist) organized a group fighters in order to defend Jews in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia in the 1920s. He changed the name Krav Maga from martial arts to Krav Maga. He began teaching it Zionist Jews. This style was eventually integrated into the IDF's early years.
Imi Lichtenfeld fled Nazi Germany, and emigrated from Germany to Palestine. He trained fighters there and later became Chief Instructor of Physical Fitness of the IDF. Imi was a master of martial arts and also taught self-defense, knife defense, and physical fitness. His system is used by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), which has been using it for over twenty years.
