Krav Maga is a system of combative self-defense that has a long and rich history. Imi Lichtenfeild (an Israeli Martial Artist) developed the martial art in the 1940s. He taught various fighting methods to the Jewish community of Bratislava, Slovakia. His training was instrumental in defending the Jewish community from the Nazi Militia. Lichtenfeild was sent to Palestine in the aftermath of the war to teach hand-toss combat techniques to the underground army.
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling system with an emphasis on throws, joint locks, chokes and striking. This system can be used to defend yourself, or it can also serve as a sport.
Krav Maga is a different form of BJJ, as it assumes that your opponent is always armed and intends to kill. It is a martial art that was created by the Israeli military. However, it is often used to open illegal acts in other countries. Krav Maga's focus is on striking and self-defense; Jiu Jitsu focuses more heavily on grappling, and ground fighting. This system's techniques are effective against stronger and larger opponents.
Krav Maga's ranking system is different from BJJ. BJJ, on the other hand, only one black belt rank is available for Krav Maga. Krav Maga holds two coral belt grades. While both systems emphasize grappling, Krav Maga allows more aggressive techniques that can be used in real-world situations.
Krav Maga
BJJJ, Krav Maga, are two distinct styles of self defense. However they complement each others. If you want to master self defence techniques, it's important to study both.

Imi Lichtenfeld is the founder of Krav Maga. He was born in Hungary. His father taught him boxing and grappling as a young man.

Various organizations oversee its curriculum, including the International Krav Maga Federation and Krav Maga Global.
Combative self-defense
BJJ, Krav Maga, and BJJ can both help you defend your self. Both martial arts have their place in self-defense. BJJ, however, is more flexible and can help control your opponent. However, it can also land you in trouble with the law, so you should be cautious before taking a class in either of these disciplines.
Krav Maga's techniques can be quite violent and are intended for life-threatening situations. But that is not what most people need. In 99.9% of self-defense situations the situation is not life-or death. Instead, it is best to neutralise your attacker before resorting to violence, both for your own safety and for your opponent's.
Krav Maga is a complex and long-standing tradition. Imi Lichtenfeld was an Israeli Martial Artist who created Krav Maga in order to protect his Jewish community. He realized that real fighting is different from competition fighting. Also, that boxing and wrestling are not appropriate for street combat. Lichtenfeld started to mix different techniques in order to create the Krav Maga unique techniques.

How To
How to use pepper spray properly for self-defense
Wearing gloves is the best way to ensure you don't accidentally injure yourself while pepper spraying. It will prevent accidental discharge.
Second, aim at your eyes when pepper spraying. These are the most sensitive parts of the human body, and if the spray hits them, it could cause severe damage. The spray will not cause as much damage if it is directed towards the nose.
When you spray pepper spray, make sure to hold it tightly in your hand. This is because if you drop the canister, it could break open and start spraying everywhere. The trigger should be pressed slowly when you are ready to fire. Keep the trigger down so that pepper spray doesn't go off.
Pepper spray is best if it's directly applied to the eyes. If you can't reach the eyes, then aim for the nose.
Once pepper spray is applied, the attacker will feel extremely uncomfortable. You may notice that you feel nauseated and dizzy. He/she may also experience burning and intense itching sensations.
After the attacker has been incapacitated, move quickly to safety. Don't let him/her get near you again. Notify the police immediately.
