Tasha’s Revolutionary Training
What is Krav Maga?
Krav Maga is a highly effective self-defence system designed for real-world application. Originally developed in the 1930s by Hungarian-Israeli martial artist Imi Lichtenfeld, Krav Maga combines techniques from various martial arts and focuses on efficient, adaptable responses to real-life threats. This practical approach to self-defence has gained worldwide popularity, thanks to its accessibility and effectiveness for people of all ages and fitness levels.
