Survival Krav Maga is a complete combat system that offers operators a wide spectrum of tactical responses both lethal and non-lethal. SKM enables the operator to dominate in a high-speed all out aggressive environment while in full battle gear or wearing normal clothing. The emphasis is on "neutralizing a threat quickly, in the simplest and most instinctive way possible".

Each technique or skill set has been proven under the pressure of true combat and "real-life" terrorist situations. These techniques and skills have proven to be effective in battle on a daily basis. In response to the combat changing environment the SKM system is continually changed and refined to fit the threats of the current day. Techniques are designed to train operators in real-life combat situations that could prove to be fatal if not neutralized. The basic concept is to transition from a defensive position to attacking a threat with overwhelming force.
