Is Krav Maga a Martial Art ?

 

New students at Krav Maga Bristol are often confused about the difference between Martial Arts and Krav Maga. Many have read that Krav Maga is not a martial art but don’t understand why it’s not or even why this is significant to their Krav Maga training.

How to find a good Krav Maga School

People buy into Krav Maga because of it's reputation, it's history and it's evoloution. But in an unregulated industry some Instructors can and do make a range of misleading claims about themselves or MartialArts they describe as 'Krav Maga'. Fake Krav Maga is like any other knock off.
