South Korea, neighbor to the warlike and ever-threatening North Korean regime, have developed fierce military practices, including training their soldiers in Krav Maga.

Krav Maga is an Israeli martial arts system, developed on and off the battlefield and known for its brutal and effective striking and grappling.
