Krav Maga is a defensive tactics system taught to Israel's security and military units. It is not a martial art. Its roots were in the formative days of the Israel Defence Forces in 1948, but it has now been expanded to include civilians.
Krav's strength is that it is a 'horizontal' or integrated system, that is, it covers the full spectrum of confrontational situations from standing striking, groundfighting, control and restraint, empty hands versus weapons and use of weapons such as knives, sticks and everyday items.
Wing Chun is the most popular kung fu style to originate out of China. Its high profile was in large part due its most famous student Bruce Lee. Wing Chun is noted for its extreme close quarter range fighting techniques particularly its skill set known as "sticking hands".
Wing Chun is our base style and many Krav students have a Wing Chun background.

Which means that Krav covers a wide range of combat situations, and incorporates Wing Chun as its martial art element
