> Ok I’ll bite. Krav Maga?

The Israeli military form of hand-to-hand combat. Extremely effective at close quarters, even against multiple attackers or against an armed attacker. It is a form of combat, as opposed to a martial art.

“CQB” stands for “Close Quarters Battle”, which is a hand-to-hand combat method with roots back to the Fairbairn Method and the Applegate Method. It has many similarities to Krav Maga.

All of these find their origins around WW-II and thereafter.
