On April 5, our staff spent the afternoon on a team-building and self-defense course at Toronto Dermatology Centre learning Krav Maga, a powerful form of practical self-defence developed in Israel. It is derived from a combination of techniques sourced from boxing, wrestling, Aikido, judo and karate, along with realistic fight training. Its known for its focus on real-world situations and its extreme efficiency. Krav Maga has a philosophy emphasizing aggression, and simultaneous defensive and offensive maneuvers.
