Eli Avikzar is the founder of the Krav Magen system and the first black belt of the original Israeli Krav Maga under it's creator, Imi Lichtenfeld.
In the early days of Krav Maga Eli became proficient in the arts of Judo, Karate, Jujitsu and Akido in order to incorporate their principles and counters into the development of the Krav Maga system.

In 1974 Imi retired and Eli became the head of Krav Maga and joined the Israeli regular army as the head of their Krav Maga section in 1976. Eli continued to develop Krav Maga until his retirement from the Krav Maga association.

The many improvements Eli added to Krav Maga over the years had transformed it into a new method that was parallel to the original system. In 1987 Eli retired from the Krav Maga association and with Imi's blessing founded K.A.M.I., the Israeli Krav Magen association.
Today, the K.A.M.I. method has 35 branches across the country. It is recognized by the Israeli ministry of education as the recommended method for schools, it is authorized by the Wingate Institute, the Wingate College, "Na'amat" (women's organization), and P.E. teachers and it is used by various military and security forces and is known throughout the world.

Eli Avikzar continued to develop and promote the growth of Krav Magen until his passing away in May of 2004. His fatherly wisdom and teachings will be remembered always by the Krav Maga/Krav Magen family.
