Krav Maga Professional Tactics

BECAUSE NOT ALL KRAV MAGA IS THE SAME TM

Israeli krav maga is the official self-defense system of the Israel Defense Forces. Krav maga training shares the same principles for civilians, law enforcement, and military personnel alike to deliver them from harm's way. Goals however, are different for law enforcement and military personnel.
