[{"role": "system", "content": "Krav Maga (; , \"lit.\" \"contact-combat\") is a military self-defence and fighting system developed for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israeli security forces (Shin Bet and Mossad) that derived from a combination of techniques sourced from Boxing, Wrestling, Aikido, Judo, Karate along with realistic fight training. Krav Maga is known for its focus on real-world situations and its extreme efficiency. It was derived from the street-fighting experience of Hungarian-Israeli martial artist Imi Lichtenfeld, who made use of his training as a boxer and wrestler as a means of defending the Jewish quarter against fascist groups in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, in the mid-to-late 1930s. In the late 1940s, following his migration to Israel, he began to provide lessons on combat training to what was to become the IDF. From the outset, the original concept of Krav Maga was to take the most simple and practical techniques of other fighting styles (originally European boxing, wrestling and street fighting) and to make them rapidly teachable to military conscripts. Krav Maga has a philosophy emphasizing aggression, and simultaneous defensive and offensive maneuvers. Krav Maga has been used by the Israel Defense Forces' special forces units, the security apparatus, and by regular infantry units.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Do you know anything about Krav Maga?

Is that the new pottery fad?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Ha, no, it is a military self-defense thing, it was developed in Israel. "}, {"role": "user", "content": "ooh, developed in Israel.  It must be effective.  Do you think it's better than Karate?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It actually involves some karate, but also boxing, wrestling, aikido, judo, and just general fight training.

Does it work?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I think it must work pretty well -- the Israeli special forces units use it!  So does their security apparatus and their regular infantry. Impressive, right?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That is impressive.  How did it make it's way here?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I think it's just starting to make its way here, probably via others who heard about it. It was actually developed in the 1930's by a martial artist who wanted to protect Jews against fascists! Quite a history!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That sounds interesting.  Is there one individual that I should look for while researching this?"}]
