  • Realistic Defense

    Krav Maga is just a term that means self-defense. It was taught to me in police academy. It is taught because it is the simplest, quickest way to disarm an opponent. I also studied Ju-jitsu and Aiki-do for eight years as well as Isshinryu for a time. I have to say that if I had to trust my life to any of the systems, I would trust it to Krav Maga. Kicking the groin may seem "ungentleman-like", but let's face it. You won't care about being a nice human being when you really feel threatened. Just because your Taekwondo instructor told you not to kick below the belt in class or at the tournament doesn't mean he would say not to do it on the street. Trust me on this. Any instructor with half a brain will tell you to do what it takes to stay alive. My ju-jitsu instructor told me one day that if was facing multiple attackers and felt truely threatened to get close to one and yank or bite his ear off. It is about surviving. I'll take a champion kick boxer or shotokan black belt to the street any day with confidence that they will walk away hurt, not sore from my luckily landed axe kick.

    • Going for the nuts.

      Krav Maga is street fighting. It is for self defense. And unlike most other diciplines, they wear shoes during training. They think modern and not of 5000 year old techniques. There is no spiritual hibi jibi about the ying and yang or some magical force centered in your stomach.

      It is money well spent. In three months you are disarming handguns, knives, and blunt force objects.. In other diciplines, you are punching air for for three months and hope that within five years you can learn to flying through the air to kick a board someone is holding above their head.

      You learn it quickly. You can be fat, skinny, old, young. You kick bags (with shoes on) and punch bags (with little or no hand protection). How else can you tell how hard you can kick or punch if you are barefooted or wear too much wrapping on your wrist? You don't walk around barefooted or with your arms wrapped and glove during your normal day do you?

      There are 3 levels taught. 1-Military 2-Police 3-Civilian
      Since the State of Israel is involved in world wide sanctions and training, they sometimes send Commandos to the USA to teach. They are also always developing and altering their training depending on what is going on int the world with attack trends. Such as gangsters holding and aiming handguns from above their heads. When was the last time some rep from Asia came to your dojo to teach the latest defense?

      It is intense trianing. No tournaments. They don't five belts away because you can dance. You have to actually defend yourself successfully from an attack to get your belts.

      It is Eye for Eye, Tooth for Tooth, and no nonsense, and based on ones natural reaction. It is so simple. They even teach you how to stomp someone's foot. Yeah. It sounds silly to some of you. But how hard is it to just drive your heel into someone's instep during an attack. You didn't have to learn to fly through the air to cripple some guy by breaking those bones in his foot. I am talking about permanent damage. and end of fight.

      Gie it a chance. It doesn't look "Bitchen", or "cool" but it is effective. Ask the Beverly Hills PD, Burbank PD, and others.

    • Now that's not very respectful.

      "some magical force centered in your stomach"?
