Krav Maga for Bourne Ultimatum

Matt Damon is working on a fighting style called Krav Maga for his reprise of the role Jason Bourne in ‘The Bourne Ultimatum’.

Krav Maga (translates to Contact Combat) is a fighting style originally used by the Israeli army, and combines techniques from numerous styles of martial arts and boxing. It’s been adapted by several law enforcement agencies, and is becoming hugely popular due to the high-intensity workout it provides.

Civilian classes usually focus on self-defense techniques and fighting skills, rather than the more aggressive moves used by the military.

Krav maga requires a high level of explosive power, flexibility, and muscle strength, so is only recommended for those in peak physical condition.
