After the war, he moved to Israel, where he became part of the Jewish resistance and developed combat techniques to support the country\u2019s fight for independence. With the founding of the State of Israel and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Imi became the Chief Instructor of Self-Defence and Physical Training for Combat, a position he held until his retirement in 1966.<\/p><p data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1537\">After retiring, Imi founded two dojos in Israel and trained his first ten students. In 1977, together with his student Yaron Lichtenstein, he founded the Bukan School of Krav-Maga, with the aim of preserving the true essence of Krav-Maga. Imi passed away in Netanya on 10 January 1998, leaving behind a lasting legacy in the martial art he
