Krav maga is an Israeli martial art, used by many parts of the Israeli military. It is considered on of the best physical fitness and self-defense systems in the world.
Krav maga means close combat.
There are not really any rules, other than safety during training. This is not a sport style, as the techniques (in krav maga, techniques are called 'combatives') were designed to neutralize an enemy, not to play fight.
An important krav maga combat is called retzev, or continuous movement. Another important concept is that instead of defending then striking, defensive combative are performed simultaneously with offensive combatives.
To work up strength in your wrists and knuckles (for punching), do knuckle push ups.
