Well, it definitely is not "Kraave Maega".

its just that i have heard the "a" at the eng of maga in dirent lots of ways, for example krav ma-gay i didnt know how to say the end part lol

kraaaahvvv
Muh Gaaah

At least the three people I know that are certified all pronounce it that way. I imagine you'll find different pronunciations in different regions as accents take their toll.

Take it from the Israeli... it's KRAV mah-GAH, though the Hebrew short "a" syllable is different from the English one, less guttural, but that requires hearing it spoken.
