About The Krav Maga Bible

What this site is

The Krav Maga Bible is a reference site for people who want to understand Krav Maga — its history, its doctrine, its techniques, and the federation politics that shape how it's taught today — without wading through gym marketing or YouTube hype.

Every article is written to be useful to three audiences simultaneously:

• Students who want context for what they're being taught in class
• Instructors who want a reference they can point students to
• Curious readers evaluating whether Krav Maga is the right system for them

What this site isn't

• Not a substitute for in-person training. Reading about a defense and performing it under stress are different skills. We say so explicitly in the footer.
• Not affiliated with a single federation. We describe KMG, IKMF, KMW, and Bukan with the same care, because students learn from all of them and the differences are smaller than the federation politics suggest.
• Not a forum. We don't host comments or community discussion. We do read every note sent through the contact page.

Editorial standards

We write articles to be:

• Honest about what the system can and can't do — including the parts where civilian Krav Maga is genuinely limited (knife defense, multiple armed attackers, against trained fighters in sport contexts).
• Plainly worded, with technical terms defined on first use and gathered in the glossary.
• Updated when we learn something is wrong. Every article carries a "Reviewed" date. Corrections submitted via the contact page are acted on, not archived.

What's not on this site

Out of respect for everyone involved, we don't:

• Name specific schools as good or bad. The vetting criteria are in find a school; the judgment is yours.
• Publish step-by-step lethal techniques (e.g., specific gun disarms in tactical detail). The principles and structure are here; the granular work belongs on a mat with a qualified instructor.
• Sell training plans, courses, or affiliated programs. This site has no commercial relationship with any federation.
