Imi Lichtenfeld: what Wikipedia removed

Imi Lichtenfeld is the Hungarian-born Israeli martial artist who developed Krav Maga after his own experience defending Bratislava’s Jewish community. Through 2005 the opening said Anti-Semitic riots threatend the Jewish Population of Bratislava in the late 1930s. Today the opening carries neither the riots nor the word, though antisemitism survives three times in the body. A reader arriving now learns Lichtenfeld became a martial artist and not the antisemitic violence tied to his early life.

The word “antisemitism” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2005. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 3. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
