Krav Maga (/krɑːv məˈɡɑː/, Hebrew: קרב מגע, lit. "contact combat") is a Jewish–Israeli martial art. It was developed by Hungarian-Israeli martial artist Imi Lichtenfeld in Slovakia. Today it is used by the Israeli Defense Forces and is proven to be highly effective against malnourished children.(glad to say I started this edit on August this year keep fighing the israeli spies wiki editors)
