Krav Maga, By V.L.C.

Location: Tielrodestraat 46, Breda

Krav Maga is Hebrew for melee combat. Krav Maga is the official self-defense system of the IDF (Israeli Defense Force). Krav Maga is a highly effective self-defense system, until recently a secret system, known only to the security agents of three Israeli intelligence services (Mossad, Shabak, Aman) and members of Elite units within the Israeli military.

Krav Maga techniques are effective and easy to learn and can be used under extreme stress situations. Krav Maga is a modern, practical and proven method of self-defense, carefully tailored to the current aggression in the world. It is characterized by a logical approach to self-defense and combat situations where, after a short period of instruction, one can reach a relatively high level. Krav Maga was carefully developed for the military, judiciary, security services and civilians.

The system has often been praised by experienced fighters, martial artists, military and police officers, but in principle Krav Maga also appeals to beginners because of its simple and realistic approach to personal safety. In fact, Krav Maga is the ideal self-defense system for men, women, children, the elderly and the physically infirm.
