Krav Maga (pronounced "Krahv Magah" meaning "Contact Combat" in Hebrew) is the official self-defense and fighting system of the Israeli Defense Forces, Israeli Anti-terrorist Units, and various branches of the Israeli Security Forces. Krav Maga has been adopted by and taught to many federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in the United States, including the F.B.I., U.S. Marshal Service, D.E.A., U.S. Secret Service, and many international law enforcement agencies worldwide.

Krav Maga Shield International is dedicated to developing high quality Krav Maga Instructors that understand the importance of Reality-Based Training and Programs for themselves and their students. In addition we wholeheartedly support the men and women of Law Enforcement, First-Responders, and Military personnel. The word SHIELD in our name and logo is a nod to these men and women.

No defensive tactics program in the world is more battle tested than Krav Maga. Tested on the battlefield and in the streets, Krav Maga's practical approach to self defense will make you and your students and their families, safer and more secure.

Krav Maga is not a traditional martial art, it is a modern system of reality-based self-defense.
