    In the Beginning . . .

    Krav Maga was developed in the 1930s by Imi Lichtenfeld, who in 1948 became Chief Instructor of Physical Fitness and Krav Maga for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). After starting the IKMA in 1978, the FBI sent 22 people to Israel to attend a Krav Maga Basic Instructor Course. <More>

    Our links with the FEKM

    Created in 1997 by Richard Douieb, official representative of Imi Lichtenfeld in Europe, the European Federation of Krav-Maga now includes more than 12000 members in 9 countries. As a more direct link to the source of traditional Krav Maga, our training follows theirs and we are graded by them.<More>
