Soothing Semantics

Is Krav Maga Legit?


Listen Later

On this week's episode, I sat down with Raz Chen, a former IDF soldier (we both served in the same brigade) and current Krav Maga practitioner in NYC. Krava Maga aka contact combat is a combat system designed by Imi Lichtenfeld. Lichtenfeld, a world-renowned boxer, wrestler, and gymnast created this combat system to protect Jews from antisemitic attacks in Czechoslovakia and other European countries during the rise of Nazi Germany. Imi fled to Israel in the 30's and began to teach Krav Maga to Israeli's which eventually became the Israeli Army's official combat system. Unlike traditional martial arts which have rules, Krav Maga has none. The goal is to disarm, maim and if necessary, kill your opponent as quickly and efficiently as possible.
