Who was the founder of Krav Maga?
Imi Lichtenfeld developed Krav Maga so that all may walk in peace.
How do you start krav maga training?
You need to locate a Krav Maga Training Place. You need to also be aware that most places have a variety of martial arts, or in this case "Fighting Systems". A Karate Dojo may offer Krav Maga, you just have to make some phone calls and ask around. When you pick a Krav Maga training facility you need to find out how the instructors are trained and any affiliation with a larger organization that trains and certifies instructors. Like anything else there are good and bad instructors and facilities. Talk to those training at the site and do some research on line. I operate two Krav Maga facilities in Maryland currently with 22 certified instructors and we are affiliated with Krav Maga Worldwide who has significant credentials in the civilian, law enforcement and military communities. Look for this type of credibility.

Is Krav Maga worth learning?
You learn self defense and when to use it and when not to use it (Aka restraint)
What is special about Krav Maga that no other martial art has?
Krav Maga is rather new as a martial art which many claim is more martial than art. It was started by Imi Lichtenfeld in Israel in the 1940's. Krav Maga is a reality based system of self-defense that relies more on gross muscle movements rather than fine motor skills. Since it originated in the Israel Defense Forces it had to work for both men and women and against all types of opponents. It had to be easy to learn and easy to retain the skills because of limited training time. Most martial arts are involved in competition where there are rules and Krav Maga is more oriented for self-defense with no rules. Mottos like Get home safe tell the story. Recently I went to a presentation on active shooters given by a SWAT team lead. He said that if you find yourself in such a situation you have to decide whether to take action or not should the opportunity present itself. He said if you did decide that you had to take action that it must be aggressive, violent and effective. That describes Krav Maga in such a situation. You can get the U.S. history of Krav Maga from Krav Maga Worldwide website.
