<p>New Delhi, December 14, 2009</p>

Surprisingly, it is <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/abhay-deol/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with abhay deol">Abhay Deol</a>, who is learning Krav Maga. It’s an Israeli form of <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial-art/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with martial art">martial art</a> and the Khiladi Kumar is reported to be well-versed with that. So what’s the Deol dude got to do with <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Martial">martial</a> arts suddenly, you might ask. Well, it’s for his next movie, <em>Basra.<br />
 </em></p>
<p>Interestingly, Akshaye Khanna was to play the lead in the film initially, when director Navdeep Singh was to direct it for Nikhil Advani’s production company. But the two parted ways due to differences and Deol stepped in to back his director of<em>Manorama Six Feet Under</em>.</p>
<p>Deol is so fascinated by Krav Maga that whenever he got time off  between shots while filming <em>Aisha</em> with Sonam Kapoor, he’d practise it with his trainer.<em> Basra</em>, which sees Deol in the role of a RAW officer, has extensive action sequences. And Deol wants to ensure that he does his stunts perfectly. Singh is planning to start the film early next year with a schedule in Iraq.</p>

<p>Mumbai: The different Deol boy, Abhay, is going all out to prepare himself for his home production Basra that will see him do action for the first time in his career. After Hrs has learnt that the actor has started training in the Israeli hand-to-hand deadly <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/combat-tactics/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with combat tactics">combat tactics</a> Krav Maga. By doing this he joins Akshay Kumar, the only hero in <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/india/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with India">India</a> who can perform the art and international faces like Angelina Jolie, Michelle Yeoh and Keanu Reeves.</p>
<p>This deadly skill will see Abhay hit a variety of fast crippling attacks to vulnerable body parts of his enemies. He has to go through a mixed aerobic and anaerobic workout and has to also use heavy pads to protect his body from damage while training.</p>
<p>&#8220;The film will see me fight like a street fighter and I&#8217;m learning really fast. It is fun and I have to learn many things if I have to convincingly play an action hero. Plus, it&#8217;s my home production, I cannot take any shortcuts,&#8221; Abhay told DNA.</p>
<p>Sources close to the film reveal that the young actor has also set up a training area where he would look to challenge his body reactions and defense skills through simulated attacks. This will make him faster and agile at offense and defense. Abhay has been called a perfectionist by many critics and this clearly shows his diligent approach to cinema.</p>
<p>&#8220;I always believe that you have to know something to perform it with ease and convince people. Nobody buys a fake and if you are not good at something you are doing, it always shows. I know I have to perfect myself in action because that&#8217;s never been my USP,&#8221; he says.</p>
<p>When not fighting in the arena, Abhay is traveling the world visiting film festivals in Venice, Toronto, Cannes, Tribeca where he has also lectured on cinema. The actor is ecstatic that even though he has not done the so-called Bollywood masala movies, he has managed to rub shoulders with Hollywood icons like Martin Scorsese, Robert de Niro, Jodie Foster, Matt Damon among others.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hollywood is very excited and appreciative of Indian cinema. Whenever I have met people who are greats in their own rights, they have been very inquisitive about our industry. This just shows that Indian cinema has a global presence and it is a huge achievement. There is scope for everyone to get the spotlight even if you are not a traditional Bollywood movie star. That&#8217;s a healthy change for our industry,&#8221; he ends.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>The Telegraph, Kolkata</h3>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1596" title="28fitness5" src="http://vickykapoor.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/28fitness5.jpg" alt="28fitness5" width="170" height="238" /></p>

<p>It’s 10.30pm. You have just come out from a late show at the multiplex and you have no husband, brother or boyfriend as a chaperone. As you walk through the parking lot, you are a little nervous to see the group of boys lounging near your car&#8230;</p>
<p>A few self-defence skills couldn’t hurt anyone in this day and age. Enter, Krav Maga. A Hebrew word that means “contact combat”, the <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial-art/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with martial art">martial art</a> is the latest fad to hit town.</p>
<p><span id="more-1595"></span></p>
<p>Krav Maga was developed in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s by Imi Lichtenfeld. “In <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/india/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with India">India</a>, it was introduced by Vikram Kapoor four years ago after he trained in it himself. At present, Krav Maga is taught in Vikram’s <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/vicky/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Vicky">Vicky</a>’s School of Oriental Arts at Delhi and at workshops across <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/india/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with India">India</a>,” explains Komal Issar, responsible for bringing Krav Maga to Calcutta. Classes are now being held at Solace, the wellness centre in Sunny Park, twice a week and on Sundays for children.</p>
<p>“Krav Maga involves cardio, abs with strength and endurance training for total body conditioning. It firms and tones muscles even when you are in the learning stage. Plus, there are proper warm-up and cool-down sessions. You burn up to 800 calories in an hour of Krav Maga,” points out Komal. But it is not advisable for those with osteoporosis, she adds.</p>
<p>But while Krav Maga is a good way to burn calories and stay fit, exponents prefer to promote it for self-defence purposes.</p>
<p>Komal takes a personal interest in Krav Maga. “In Calcutta, all the <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Martial">martial</a> arts centres are such holes&#8230; Then on a visit to Delhi, I got to know of Krav Maga and tried it out. After that I simply had to bring it to Calcutta,” she smiles.</p>
<p>Where Krav Maga differs from other <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Martial">martial</a> arts is that it helps students tackle real-life situations. Krav Maga is built around natural human <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/reflexes/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with reflexes">reflexes</a> and uses everything possible for the purpose of self-defence. It is a hybrid of various <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Martial">martial</a> arts techniques like boxing, karate, judo, ju-jitsu, Muay Thai and other lesser-known techniques. Because it is less formal, it is easier to learn, and students learn to be alert and on their guard from day one.</p>
<p>“Krav Maga contains techniques that enable the trainee to defend against armed and unarmed <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/attackers/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with attackers">attackers</a> in potentially dangerous situations. It is practiced in different situations as in the dark, outdoors and other situations that restrict the victim’s movement,” explains Komal. The sessions make one physically agile and aware of her surroundings.</p>
<p>The style has found favour with many Hollywood stars. Jennifer Lopez in Enough, <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/sandra-bullock/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Sandra Bullock">Sandra Bullock</a> and Regina King in Miss Congeniality, Angelina Jolie for Tomb Raider 2 and Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz for Charlies’s Angels are some of the celebs who have tried Krav Maga.</p>
<p>Depending on the interest level, Komal intends to open more centres to widen her reach. “Like every locality has its gym, I would want every area to have a Krav Maga training centre, because it is what women need today to protect themselves,” she signs off.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Karate and Tai chi take a backseat as this Israeli form of hand-to-hand combat prepares Chennaiites for the real world 5 reasons why Krav Maga could work for you</p>
<p>YOU belong to the low-carbs and six-pack set. Great, but how much of your gym work is going to help you save yourself from a sudden violent attack, an assailant or <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/road-rage/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with road rage">road rage</a>? Imagine being assaulted by hoodlums when getting back home in the middle of night. You’ll require more than just washboard abs and yoga stretches to get through unarmed and unharmed. Krav Maga, a street-smart self-defense technique favoured by the Israeli military, promises to bail you out. It is as much about self-defense as it is about fitness and the good news is that it has come to Chennai.</p>
<p><span id="more-1355"></span></p>
<p>‘‘There are no hard and fast rules in this technique. It is battle-tested, street smart, based on the simplest body <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/reflexes/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with reflexes">reflexes</a> and is an ever-evolving system meant for life threatening situations, where no rules apply. It’s based on your instincts,’’ explains <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/vicky-kapoor/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Vicky Kapoor">Vicky Kapoor</a>, founder director and chief instructor of the only official school for Krav Maga in Delhi. Kapoor’s clients include National Conference Party president, Omar Abdullah, and his wife Payal and Naveen Jindal (MP). The school has branches in Calcutta, Hyderabad, <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/bangalore/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Bangalore">Bangalore</a> and have recently opened a branch in Chennai.</p>
<p>Incorporating new age defenses like anti-carjacking, anti-kidnapping and anti-sabotage, Krav Maga was developed by the Israeli military. But the fitness benefits offered by it are tremendous. The workout includes power drills, cardio vascular coordination, stamina and endurance-building exercises. In fact people around the world, including celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez (Enough), Britney Spears and Angelina Jolie (Tomb Raider), practise KravMaga. Kapoor, incidentally, was the chief action director of the Akshay Kumar-starrer, Khatron Ka Khiladi, which was telecast on Colors.</p>
<p>‘‘It also helps one develop faster <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/reflexes/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with reflexes">reflexes</a> and better flexibility, making for an effective fitness workout. Another important aspect about the art is that we provide the same training for men and women, as the threats both face are the same,’’ continues Kapoor.</p>
<p>What is absent are the yoga-like movements found in East Asian <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Martial">martial</a> arts and rules against striking the groin, eyes, or other vulnerable parts of the body In class, though, steps are . taken to keep people safe. ‘‘In Delhi, which is considered unsafe for women, we teach methods to combat eve-teasing, rape and other domestic violence,’’ says Kapoor.</p>
<p>Clients are mostly from the IT sector, BPOs, even housewives. The school is planning to incorporate self-defense classes for children as well. ‘‘Krav Maga is big in the US and Europe, and the trend is quickly catching up in <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/india/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with India">India</a>, especially over the past four years,’’ offers Kapoor. In Chennai, there are branches at Adyar and Velachery Their two-and-a half week course with 8 hours of instruction would cost Rs 1,500.</p>
<p>Note: Recommended only for those with a fighting spirit, and not for the faint-hearted. More details at www. kravmagachennai.com and www. kravmagaindia.com. <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/vicky-kapoor/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Vicky Kapoor">Vicky Kapoor</a> can be contacted at +91 9810412442.</p>
<h4>5 reasons why Krav Maga would work for you</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>You will learn to defend yourself: </strong>Krav Maga teaches you practical, proven techniques against the most common real-life attacks you might face. </li>
<li><strong>Be in terrific shape:</strong> You will lose body fat while gaining muscle, so you will look and feel better. With increased heart rate, you will breathe and sleep better. </li>
<li><strong>Reduce stress:</strong> Krav Maga has special training drills designed to help you function under stress, shock, and the adrenal rush of a sudden encounter.</li>
<li><strong>Build your confidence:</strong> Krav Maga students say it gives them a positive attitude and makes them feel good about themselves. </li>
<li><strong>A culmination of fitness and self-defense: </strong>No complicated rituals, no crazy outfits, no nonsense, just stateof-the-art fitness and self-defense training </li>
</ul>
<h4>Hollywood showcase Instances of Krav Maga in films</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Jennifer Lopez </strong>in &#8216;<em>Enough</em>&#8216; </li>
<li><strong>Matt Damon</strong> in &#8216;<em>Bourne Ultimatum&#8217;</em></li>
<li><strong>Jason Statham</strong> in &#8216;<em>Transporter</em>&#8216;</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/sandra-bullock/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Sandra Bullock">Sandra Bullock</a></strong> in &#8216;<em>Miss Congeniality</em>&#8216;</li>
</ul>
<h4>Know the basics</h4>
<p>Krav Maga is a highly effective, battle-tested Israeli system of defensive tactics, fighting skills and self-defense. Krav means ‘Combat’ and Maga means ‘contact.’ Conventional forms of <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Martial">martial</a> arts use age-old methods, whereas Krav Maga is a contemporary and practical form of self-defence. One trains in a real-life scenario inspired by real sudden attacks.</p>

<h3>Business Today Magazine</h3>
<p>Before you read on, a word of caution—this article contains fist-fighting, groin-kicking, arm-twisting and shoving. It might sound like an action sequence from a Quentin Tarantino flick, but it’s not—it’s a regular class of Krav Maga. And it’s rough stuff. A world away from jazzercise.</p>
<p>“Krav Maga (Hebrew for ‘contact combat’) is a battle-tested Israeli system of self-defence,” says <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/vicky/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Vicky">Vicky</a> Kapoor, Regional Director, Krav Maga, <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/india/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with India">India</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-862"></span></p>
<p>It was first developed by Imi Lichtenfield, an Israeli soldier in the 1930s.” Tall and imposing at 43, Kapoor could pass for a gun-wielding General himself, when I meet him at his studio in South Extension, New Delhi. He was introduced to Krav Maga in 2003, when he was looking to further expand his knowledge of <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Martial">martial</a> arts, and has been hooked since. Trained in Israel, by senior instructors like <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/eyal-yanilov/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with eyal yanilov">Eyal Yanilov</a> and Avi Moyal, he now conducts classes for civilians, military and law enforcement units in the city. And the numbers are growing.</p>
<p>“From working women and call centre employees to politicians and school-going kids, I train them all,” he claims. “It’s considered one of the most practical and effective techniques</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-870" style="float:right; margin-left:10px" title="21" src="http://vickykapoor.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/21.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="242" /></p>
<p>for combat and self-defence. Hundreds of law enforcement agencies and celebrities practise it the world over.” There’s no doubting the popularity of Krav Maga—Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie and <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/sandra-bullock/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Sandra Bullock">Sandra Bullock</a> are known to have practised it, and closer home, it has patrons like Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra and Omar Abdullah. But is what’s right for a young Israeli soldier, practical for the civilians?</p>
<p>“An attacker or a potential threat would not differentiate between a soldier and you. Why should your training be any different?” says Kapoor. “As instructors, we’re equipping students with a battle-tested <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Martial">martial</a> art form of tactical <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/manoeuvres/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Manoeuvres">manoeuvres</a>, so that they walk in peace.” Hold on. Did he just say <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Martial">martial</a> art? Isn’t that more of an eastern thing? Like kung fu or karate? And don’t they all claim to offer the same benefits and moves?</p>
<p>“The essential meaning of ‘<a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Martial">martial</a>’ is warlike,” says Kapoor. “Traditional <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Martial">martial</a> art forms have moves adapted from animals, but Krav Maga works on identifying and improving natural human <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/reflexes/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with reflexes">reflexes</a>. Most <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Martial">martial</a> art forms are not realistic self-defence systems. Their fancy and ritual-oriented moves would not hold up against those thugs on the street.” Kapoor would know. Prior to joining IKMF (the International Krav Maga Federation), he trained exhaustively in Judo, Aikido and Taekwondo, and at present heads about 12 <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Martial">martial</a> arts federations in <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/india/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with India">India</a>. With so much emphasis on self-defence, and defensive tactics, it appears that it’s just about fighting all the way. The classes prove otherwise.</p>
<p>Kapoor’s class starts with basic warm-up exercises like rotations and squats, to lubricate the joints. Then comes a fastpaced, high-energy workout, designed to tone and strengthen your body. According to estimates, an hour of Krav Maga can burn 800 calories. There’s boxing, punching and striking to some very loud music. To the outsider, it looks dangerous and exhausting, but Kapoor assures that the classes are relatively safe and injury-free.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-872" style="float:right; margin-left:10px" title="31" src="http://vickykapoor.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/31.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="243" /></p>
<p>“Injuries are part and parcel of any workout, and could happen anytime and anywhere,” says Kapoor. “So, we have matted floors, and use gloves, gum shields and chest gears in our workouts. The classes are safe and suitable for all age groups and body types.”</p>
<p>Physical benefits aside, there’s an emphasis on mental agility. Using dummy guns and other props, students are familiarised with different assault scenarios. Each student has a padded “attacker” for a partner, who abuses them physically and verbally. The attacker allows the students to practise powerful, closecontact defence techniques. Decisionmaking under high-pressure situations is also taught in these workshops.</p>
<p>Krav Maga is far from pretty. It’s dangerous and painful, with occasional bruises thrown in. But it also means greater flexibility, mental agility and getting trained for some of life’s battles, which might stand you in good stead one day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>MetroMela.com Website</h3>
<p>Learning a self-defense tactic is always a good idea. Especially one that is also used by the Israeli military, Los Angeles Police Department, FBI,Krav Maga &#8211; <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/bangalore/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Bangalore">Bangalore</a> Swedish SWAT Team, French Anti-terrorist group and Hollywood celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Angelina Jolie. We are talking about Krav Maga, the Israeli self-defense technique. Hebrew for ‘contact combat,’ Krav Maga is an effective practical defense technique that teaches you how to deal with and overcome all kinds of violence and attacks. The best part is that every aspect of the technique is explained in detail, so that trainees are prepared for any surprise element out there on the street. Introduced in <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/bangalore/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Bangalore">Bangalore</a> about four months ago, Krav Maga is gaining in popularity here. , Krav Maga’s instructor in <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/bangalore/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Bangalore">Bangalore</a>, has been practicing and teaching it for the past five years after training with <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/vicky/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Vicky">Vicky</a> Kapoor, of International Krav Maga Federation, <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/india/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with India">India</a>. He tells MetroMela why Krav Maga is a great self-defense technique to learn:</p>
<p>Krav Maga trains students to use the body&#8217;s natural weapons as well as ordinary objects that may be close at hand.</p>
<p><span id="more-437"></span></p>
<p>Krav Maga mainly incorporates drills that take advantage of the body’s natural <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/reflexes/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with reflexes">reflexes</a>. While in a boxing ring, there will be rules and ample time to fight, on the street the attacker will not give you time. In fact, if there is a sudden attack the mind can shut down. The idea of Krav Maga is to teach people to defend such attacks in the minimum time required. This is also why each and every aspect of the drill is explained.</p>
<p>Some of the defense techniques students are taught include how to defend against a knife attack from the back, how to release an armbar choke (a choke from the back), prevent sexual assault etc.</p>
<p>Krav Maga teaches you quick thinking and quick moves. We train our students to be smarter and explain every action, why we are doing a particular move, using a particular muscle etc. Once they understand the core concept of self-defense, they can create their own solutions.</p>
<p>How does Krav Maga help women? The attacker knows his strength. To counteract the attack, we teach women to use the same tools he&#8217;s using in a different way. For example, if the attacker is trying to squeeze their neck, they can give it back to the attacker with a groin kick. Women can also use their muscle strength to counteract attacks. If the attacker is choking her from the back, instead of arms, she can use her full back muscles to push him back. It’s a surprise element and if used timely, she will be able to counteract and gain time. Keep in mind that you not only need to learn a combat technique for this but also consistently practice it well.</p>
<p>The best part of Krav Maga is that you have to constantly think about which move you are going to use. It helps in gaining confidence and changes your attitude. Its biggest strength is that it teaches you to think of solutions immediately.</p>
<p><strong>’s self-defense tips for women</strong></p>
<p>Be smart on the street. If the assault is verbal, ignore it. Being easily provoked by verbal abuse shows that you are low in confidence. Never challenge the attacker.</p>
<p>Women have the best instincts. Learn to trust your instinct, for example, when you feel you shouldn’t take a particular road.</p>
<p>If there is a bad situation, do not panic and think rationally. There&#8217;s a solution for everything.</p>
<p>Women have many tools in their purse like pen, keys, deodorant spray, mobile. You can use all of those as weapons. If in a room, you can use a chair to defend yourself.</p>
<p>When you are running, don’t scream ‘Help’. Scream ‘Fire’. It attracts a lot more attention than ‘help’!</p>
<p>Even if you know self-defense techniques, don’t try to attack immediately. Be smart and figure out the situation first.</p>

<p>By <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/ht/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with HT">HT</a> Sunday September 10, 10:42 AM</p>
<p>Remember Bob Marley&#8217;s famous song &#8220;Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights, Get up, stand up, Don&#8217;t give up the fight?&#8221; Well, if you know Krav Maga you will really never have to give up. So quite a few Delhiites are taking up this form of <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial-art/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with martial art">martial art</a> for self defence. Krav Maga was developed by Czechoslovakia-born Imi Lichtenfeld after the Israeli state (established in 1948) asked him to develop a system of fighting and self-defence for the Israeli Defence Force (IDF). He refined the art during his career as chief instructor of hand-to-hand combat for the IDF. Krav Maga is a comprehensive system that relies on simple and instinctive moves rather than rigid techniques that usually require years of training. <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/vicky-kapoor/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Vicky Kapoor">Vicky Kapoor</a>, a trainer at Krav Maga <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/india/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with India">India</a>, says, &#8220;Krav Maga is a reflex-based <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial-art/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with martial art">martial art</a>. Unlike other <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Martial">martial</a> arts that use animal characteristics to fight, Krav Maga uses the human potential for combat. It is easy to perform, natural and features simple movements and reflexive behaviour.&#8221; Adding further, Kapoor states, &#8220;Anybody above 18 years of age can learn Krav Maga. We have special training for women as well as senior citizens,&#8221; says <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/vicky/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Vicky">Vicky</a>. Krav Maga branches are spread across 31 countries. Among the celebrity practitioners we have Jennifer Lopez and Angelina Jolie while some techniques of this <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial-art/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with martial art">martial art</a> have been used in Silence of the Lambs and the X-Men series. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sify News </strong></p>
<p>New Delhi, April, 2007</p>
<p>Krav-Maga, a system of self-defence and <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/combat-tactics/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with combat tactics">combat tactics</a>, is practiced by people around the world, including numerous prominent personalities such as Hollywood actresses Jennifer Lopez and Angelina Jolie and Indian politician Omar Abdullah.</p>
<p>Krav-Maga, which was developed by the Israeli army, is about enhancing one&#8217;s spontaneous <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/reflexes/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with reflexes">reflexes</a> and natural body movements for both self-defence and fitness. &#8220;This holistic fitness method is extremely practical and effective besides being simple and easy to learn,&#8221; says <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/vicky/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Vicky">Vicky</a> Kapoor, regional director and chief instructor at the International Krav-Maga Foundation (<a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/india/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with India">India</a>) based in Delhi.</p>
<p>&#8220;Krav-Maga increases your flexibility, concentration and presence of mind, body language, muscular as well as cardiovascular stamina, mental endurance, confidence and healthy aggression,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Since physical fitness is closely interwoven into the system, the workout includes a number of cardiovascular and strength-building exercises, as well as stretching to increase flexibility.</p>
<p>Emphasis is put on speed, endurance, strength, accuracy and coordination, especially for intensive Krav-Maga training,&#8221; explains Kapoor.</p>
<p>Further, there are no rigid rules in Krav-Maga. It is not a sport, and there are no competitions. The techniques simply focus on maximizing efficiency in real-life conditions. Krav-Maga in Hebrew means &#8220;close combat&#8221;; literally, &#8220;Krav&#8221; means &#8220;Combat&#8221; and &#8220;Maga&#8221; means &#8220;contact&#8221;.</p>
<p>The beginning of the system that we know today as Krav-Maga was developed as &#8220;hand-to-hand-combat system&#8221; in Hungary and Czechoslovakia in the 1930s to help protect the Jewish community from Nazi militias. This technique was later taught to the Haganah, the Jewish underground army, in the British Mandate of Palestine prior to the establishment of the Jewish state.</p>
<p>After the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Krav-Maga was taught to the Israel defence Forces (IDF) School of Combat Fitness.</p>
<p>In 1980, Israeli Krav-Maga experts and interested students in the US came in contact. The following year, a group of six Krav-Maga instructors traveled to the U.S. for demonstrations, mainly at Jewish community centres. However, a demonstration was also held at the New York Field Office of the FBI and its Main Training Center.</p>
<p>Following this, 22 people from the US went to Israel to take a basic Krav-Maga instructor&#8217;s course. When they returned to their country, they began to establish training facilities in their areas. The exchanges of experts between the two countries continued and the Krav-Maga training of Law Enforcement personnel in the US began in 1985.</p>
<p>Today, Krav-Maga is practiced by military and law enforcement personnel as well as civilians in more than 45 countries around the world. And it is catching on in <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/india/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with India">India</a> as well.</p>

<p> Friday, Apr 21, 2006</p>
<p align="justify">It is far more than just a self-defence system. And now &#8220;Krav-Maga&#8221;, which is popular among Israel&#8217;s elite forces and is practised in 45 countries across the world, is making a foray into the Capital through a seminar on &#8220;Safety and Krav-Maga&#8221; at <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/india/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with India">India</a> International Centre this coming Saturday.</p>
<p align="justify">With branches in 31 countries across Europe, Asia and North America, Krav-Maga involves instinctive movement, practical training and realistic training scenario.</p>

<p>Nitya Rao <br />
 Mumbai, Monday , December 26, 2005</p>
<p> He’s been a platoon commander in an Israeli terror demolition unit. Even worked as a private bodyguard to Madonna and Michael Jackson. So when Israeli self-defence trainer Avi Moyal starts to demonstrate what he calls the ‘‘bear hug’’ you know it can’t be friendly. He’s in the city to talk about Krav-Maga—an Israeli self defence technique developed by their armed forces. Moyal also taught a clutch of students at <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/vicky/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Vicky">Vicky</a>’s School of Oriental Arts in Saket, Delhi, how to use their <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/reflexes/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with reflexes">reflexes</a> to sense and counter an attack. Advertisement ‘‘What’s different about Krav-Maga is that it helps you understand the psychology of a criminal,’’ says Moyal, who worked in the Israeli Prime Minister’s office to train workers in this field. ‘‘It’s especially imperative for young girls to learn and understand the intricacies of body language, to read danger signs when they lurk,’’ explains the trainer, who’s demonstrated the art in Delhi and Chandigarh earlier this month. So popular is this relatively new <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/martial/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Martial">martial</a> art (it was developed in the early 1950’s) that Hollywood has embraced it eagerly with stars like Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez performing their own stunts using the new fangled close quarter combat technique. Closer home, <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/vicky/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Vicky">Vicky</a> Kapoor, who manages the school at Saket acts as a personal Krav-Maga trainer to former MP Omar Abdullah and his wife Payal. ‘‘They’re both excellent students,’’ says Kapoor. ‘‘Very disciplined and no tantrums despite the VIP tag.’’ While there isn’t any age bar (Kapoor’s oldest student is 65), you don’t have to spend a bundle on the classes either. Monthly charges for the three-times-a-week package is Rs 2,100. Moyal will host a seminar and demonstration today at the National Sports Club of <a href="http://vickykapoor.com/tag/india/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with India">India</a>, Haji Ali, 5 pm to 7 pm</p>
