Krav Maga (Massachusetts) is a system; some would argue a philosophy; that was born out of necessity.  After Israel gained it’s independence in 1948, Krav Maga’s founder Imi Lichtenfeld was asked to develop an unarmed combat system for the state’s new army.  He had a problem though–this army wasn’t like most armies…Instead of physically fit, gung ho, 18 year old recruits–the Israeli Army was comprised of recruits ages 15-55. Imi had to come up with a realistic defense system that would work for everybody. The system, now known as, Krav Maga, had to be:

• Easy to learn
•  Easy to perform
• Easy to remember under stress
• Must work from an unprepared position.

Lucky for us, these same prerequisites apply to teaching self-defense in Salem Ma today.  At Dragon Within Martial Arts, you’ll learn  that the system is:

• Instinctual – rather than fighting your natural instincts, we’ll show you how Krav Maga Salem Mass, uses those instincts to your advantage.
• It is an integrated system – ideas like “redirect” the “pluck, which you’ll see in almost every class, are a few basic tools that are used over and over again. With fewer tools, it’s easier to remember.
• Krav Maga teaches you to defend and attack simultaneously, switching the balance of power to your favor.  It’s faster and it also prevents us from mentally falling into a “victim mentality”.
• You’ll see that Krav Maga teaches aggressiveness – this brings our training alive and in a real self-defense situation will neutralize the attacker more quickly.
• You’ll also see that we test our responses under stress – multiple attackers, from multiple directions.  You fight how you train.   How you respond in the gym is how you respond in the street.

While these are principles that were used to construct the system, there is only one “rule” in Krav maga: rules create limitations.  A street fight is not sport fighting.  The one rule… go home safely.

But enough reading about Krav Maga, come down to the academy to try it out!
