Krav Maga Fellbach Maickler - Turnhalle

In Hebrew, “Krav Maga” means “contact combat.” This efficient self-defense system was originally developed by Israeli security forces. It was then adopted for civilian use in the context of the right to self-defense and has continued to evolve.

Krav Maga is characterized by simple techniques that take into account the body’s natural reflexes. This makes Krav Maga relatively easy to learn. Krav Maga is not a combat sport, but a pure self-defense system incorporating elements from various martial arts such as boxing, judo, Muay Thai, and BJJ. There are no competitions. Training also focuses on responding correctly under stress through scenario-based exercises. In these scenarios, our members are confronted with possible everyday situations (muggings, harassment, attempted rape, etc.). They practice applying the skills they’ve learned under stress. The attacks (carried out by instructors in full protective gear) can involve one or more people. The scenarios can range from a verbal attack to an immediate assault “out of the blue.” With the member’s consent, the situation can be recorded on video and analyzed afterward. This ensures the best possible training results. The goal is to recognize dangers early on and avoid conflict through skillful behavior.

Krav Maga as a form of self-defense became widely known primarily through various Hollywood productions, such as the Bourne films starring Matt Damon and the movie “Enough” starring Jennifer Lopez.
