Imi started as a sportsman, gymnastics, wrestling, and boxing, but then he had to transition. He had to change and become a defender. He had to defend himself. He had to defend his people, his friends. He has to defend the Jewish quarters against the fascist thugs. At the latest stage, he used all the information, the experience that he had, all he invented and acquired, and start giving it to people. It’s a teaching. He was teaching in the resistance in Israel, he was teaching the Israeli defense forces. This was his mission, his goal in life, to pass the information forward so everybody would be able to defend himself, herself, or others.
When we deal with Krav Maga, when we practice, when we acquire the knowledge, the experience, when we acquire the skills, we must do good with this. You must develop responsibility. The knowledge, the abilities, the proficiency, the capabilities you’ve got and acquired, you must use them correctly. Not to harm others, the opposite. Your job is to develop responsibility and be able to defend yourself, defend others in time of need.
