History of Krav Magá in Amapá From the Oral Report of a Master

“…Master Sandro Coelho states that Krav Maga is not a martial art, but a system of self-defense, as it does not add specific characteristics inherent to religious and philosophical aspects, thus agreeing with Martins (2015) who declares in his study that Krav Magá has the particularity of being the only modality of self-defense considered pure in the world.…”

“…As for the arrival of Krav Magá in Amapá, there is the figure of Augusto Portela, at the time a corporal in the Brazilian army, as the pioneer of the modality in question. Augusto had his first contact with the self-defense system through Kobi, while working in the army in Rio de Janeiro, his hometown and according to Master Sandro's report, Augusto was a yellow belt graduate, this graduation is an indicator that, according to Martins (2015), Augusto spent at least 12 months in the sport.…”

“…The rates of physical violence in the period of emergence of Krav Magá, as well as 30 years ago were high, even today these numbers are high, differing only in the ways used by the aggressors. Therefore, Krav Magá presents itself as an effective way of selfdefense and the motivation for this practice is mostly associated with street aggression (Martins, 2015).…”

“…Agreeing with Martins (2015) who states that the main motivation for the practice of Krav Magá is associated with self-defense after some aggression situation.…”
