KRAV MAGA - THE STORY OF IMI SDE-OR
Krav Maga began with a single man - Imrich Lichtenfeld, who later took the name Imi Sde-Or. Born in 1910 in Budapest, he grew up in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, in a home where sports, law, and Central European education were equally respected. Samuel Lichtenfeld, Imi's father, was a unique figure. At the age of thirteen, he joined a traveling circus, and for the next twenty years engaged in wrestling, weightlifting, and various demonstrations of strength. For him, the circus was also a school in which he met people involved in a wide variety of sports.
