Imi Lichtenfeld, a Hungarian born immigrant to Palestine in the early 1940s is credited as being the father of Krav Maga. Although Imi was an influential pioneer of the art, he was not solely responsible for its creation. As antisemitic riots threatened Jewish communities in the 1930s Imi, a champion boxer and wrestler, gathered other men with fighting skills to defend their Jewish communities. They quickly realized that Jiu Jitsu, boxing and wrestling skills, even at an elite level, were useless in a street fight and in combat.

Under Imi’s guidance these men began pulling the most effective techniques from different martial arts and changing them to be effective in a real fight. This was the very beginning of what would later become Krav Maga.

When Imi immigrated to Israel, which was called Palestine in the early 1940s, he joined forces with the Haganah, the Zionist military organization representing the Jews from 1920 to 1948. Imi’s fighting ingenuity was quickly recognized and in 1944 he began teaching his fighting style to the Haganah and Palmach fighters.

Four years later, Israel became a sovereign nation and the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) was formed. Imi was tasked with creating a fighting and hand-to-hand combat system, which he named “Krav Maga.” Imi was then named the IDF’s Head Krav Maga Instructor, a position he held until his retirement, which came somewhere between 1964 and 1974, depending on the source.

From 1948 until his retirement, there were no ranks in Krav Maga. Being a military hand-to-hand combat style of fighting, belts were impractical. Belts and rank systems were only introduced in 1971 when Imi opened the first Krav Maga school for civilians at the Wingate Institute in Netanya, Israel.

Ranks today follow different systems of designation. Some follow a belt system similar to other traditional martial arts that was introduced by Imi at the Wingate Institute. Others follow a patch system instituted by Eyal Yanilov, one of Imi’s most advanced students, in the latter part of the 1980s. Still others follow a combination of the two. Finally other Krav organizations have developed their own ranking structure.

Imi’s belt system is based off of a Judo structure starting with a white belt, which is then followed by yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, and ending with a black belt. Eyal’s patch system divided the ranks into 3 categories (Practitioner, Graduate, and Expert) with different levels within each category.

Krav Maga wasn’t introduced in the United States until the early 1980s. This was thanks mainly, if not solely, to Darren Levine, who traveled to Israel and trained under Imi at the Wingate Institute, as a part of a delegation of 23 U.S. members at the first ever International Instructors Course. When he returned, Darren began teaching Krav Maga in 1982 near Los Angeles, California. In 1999, Darren formed Krav Maga Worldwide, which is largely responsible for the growth and also the commercialization of Krav Maga in the U.S.
