Welcome to the WKMA / IKA
Welcome to the website of the World Krav Maga Association/International Kapap Association. Here you will find information on the WKMA, IKA, its associate members, instructors, courses and events.
Krav Maga translates to "Contact Combat" in Hebrew, and was originally developed as the official self-defence and hand-to-hand combat system of the Israeli military. Since then Krav Maga has been adopted by numerous military and law enforcement organisations around the world. In addition, Krav Maga is now being taught to thousands of civilians worldwide who recognise it as the most effective way of defending themselves in an increasingly violent and unpredictable society.
