Human Weapon (2007)
S01E07 Krav Maga of the Israeli Commandos
Episode Overview
Jason Chambers and Bill Duff journey to Israel to explore Krav Maga, one of the most lethal and efficient martial arts globally. Developed in the 1940s by Imi Lichtenfeld for combat and self-defense, Krav Maga is rooted in a "no quarters" philosophy, emphasizing that enemies must be eliminated rather than captured. Over time, it was adapted for both the Israeli Defense Forces and civilians, leading to the establishment of the Israeli Krav Maga Association in 1978, which now oversees its global teaching. As they traverse sacred religious sites, Jason and Bill master techniques for escaping deadly holds, deflecting weapons, and executing fierce counterattacks. Their adventure culminates in a showdown against a full team of highly skilled Krav Maga practitioners.
