Krav Maga is a Hebrew term that translates "contact combat" and refers to the official Israeli Military's closequarters-combat system. It is an eclectic martial art system that incorporates a wide range of techniques including strikes, takedowns, chokes and joint-locks. Krav Maga is not a sport, rather a highly refined close quarter combat system that focuses on rendering the most amount of damage to an attacker in the least amount of time with the primary objective being survival. Krav Maga teaches a person to do whatever is necessary to make it home alive. Originally developed by soldiers for soldiers in the hostile environment of the Middle-East, Krav Maga has been battletested and combat proven. For this reason, military units, law enforcement agencies, and security specialists around the world have adopted Krav Maga as part of their training regimen. 

While other schools in Victorville, Hesperia, and Apple Valley may claim to teach Krav Maga we are the only school certified to teach Krav Maga in the High Desert. Because Krav Maga has been recently featured on the History Channel and the Military Discovery Channel many instructors in the High Desert area, are attempting to cash in on Krav Maga’s popularity. These instructors claim to have received specialized military training and certification in Krav Maga, however, when asked cannot provide any proof to support their claims. You should know that any authentic instructor of Krav Maga will be able to provide upon request, supporting documentation of their training and will be recognized by an official Krav Maga organization. Before enrolling in any Krav Maga program take the time to research the instructor and their Krav Maga qualifications. A legitimate Krav Maga instructor will be able to provide proof of their qualifications in the form of certificates, photos, affiliation with official organizations, testimonials, and letters of recommendations. If you are looking for authentic instruction in Krav Maga be sure to check if the instructor has trained in Israel, and if so, with who and where.
