Combat to defeat fascists

KRAV Maga is a fighting technique taught to the Israeli security and defence forces.

“Contact combat” was created in the 1930s by a Jewish martial artist who fought off fascists in Bratislava, now capital of Slovakia. Techniques come from judo, karate, boxing, wrestling and aikido but unlike other martial arts there are no uniforms.

Students are taught to counter in the most efficient way. Civilians began learning it in the 1970s and there are now classes across the UK.
