| Interests | Boaz Aviram, Keeping Krav Maga alive for generations to come. The challenges most hideous are largely those violently forced upon others by the darker elements of society. Truly, Krav Maga answers these challenges succinctly, effectively, and better than anything else we know. On the other hand, the whole of martial arts has failed to provide efficient and effective methods of self-defense, which can be quickly grasped and sufficiently understood by the general population. Anyone can bang a hammer and go through the motions to build a structure. But it is not until one study the underlying framework, scientific calculations, and purposeful methods involved in building that one can build a structure with sufficient strength to endure, while simultaneously providing the most comfort and safety for its inhabitants. While it is true that others also have a passion for Krav Maga, yours is truer because you have the proper technique and understanding, and did not exchange your knowledge for arrogance or illicit gain. And when you left Israel, Krav Maga came with you. Despite claims, photos, and certificates of those who think themselves proven Krav Maga disciples or leaders, many of them never understood Krav Maga to begin with. While others make claims and have photos with Krav Maga’s Founder, many of today’s leaders never fully understood Krav Maga Many could not have realized that Lichtenfeld’s civilian school taught a dojo version, intended to maintain IDF Krav Maga superiority. Others, still, knew these limitations but portrayed themselves as all-in-all Krav Maga masters. You, my friend, did no such thing, despite personal instruction by both KM founders (Imi Lichtenfeld and Eli Avikzar) and holding the position of IDF Krav Maga Chief Instructor, the position both men assumed before you. These two facts, alone, uniquely qualify you to teach and critique Krav Maga, above all others. Thanks again, Boaz! --Stephen M. McPherson |
