Originally from Bratislava this natural athlete, boxer and wrestler learned the basics of self-defence from his police instructor father before developing his skills during the dark times of European history in the 1930's.

After many years of struggle he went to Palestine and fought for the Independence of Israel. On creation of the state of Israel Imi became the Chief Instructor to the newly created Israeli defence force (IDF).

The technique's of hand-hand fighting he taught became known as Krav Maga - which translates as "Contact Combat"

After leaving the army in the 1960's Imi adapted Krav Maga to everyday life situations faced by men, women and children.

Over the years Krav Maga's blend of self-defence and hand-to-hand combat techniques have evolved to become recognised around the world as being an innovative, effective and highly practical method of teaching self defence.

Krav Maga continues to adapt to the ever changing world, both globally and locally. 

 In addition to the obvious benefits and uses of Krav Maga for the law enforcement and military communities, everyone - whether they are male, female, young or old - across the world can feel more confident and safer by developing their natural instincts for self defence with Krav Maga.
