Krav Maga is about lot more than just fighting. Many people think that self defence and street fighting are the same thing. They’re not. Krav Maga goes far deeper beyond simply no rules street fighting.
@@user-ey9le1cs4y ;DDD :Pppp its not more than a hype/show ! many Krav Maga Fighters are purly ... imaginary idiots without mental & physical strength. What good is a fighting technique that I can practically not use, because my opponent is still superior to me? many Israelis looks like skinny dolls. it´s a fact !
To all guys who are practicing Krav Maga: If someone pulls a knife against you, just run away. If its not possible, try to find something to defend yourself. Never try to disarm your oppenent when you got safer options!
I was certified in Krav Maga in 2002 then moved onto the Haganah fighting system. But first trained Judo, Hapkido, muay thai in the Marine Corps and then Taekwondo to make a well rounded fighting system. Like I tell my students, never be cocky or arrogant, there’s always someone better. Only fight if I have no other alternatives. Stay humble everyone! 😌
For everyone that says there's no pressure testing in training: In my gym, we were literally conditioned to attack other students as robustly as possible and not simply comply to the technique. If someone didn't actually attack, but gave in willingly, which sometimes happened, our coach would remind him to actually try to resist the technique.
I'm a pretty solid guy not the biggest by far but some think I'm close to league size. Some of the people in my class were afraid to train with me and I would remind them I'm your colleague in an controlled environment USE ME to get comfortable for what's out there 😊
PSA: This is a flashy "sales" video for a "McDojo" martial art. - Krav Maga does not teach you to face and disengage another human in unarmed combat because it lacks sparring, "pressure testing" what you learned. -The success rate of defending a knife attack safely even by the most well trained is roughly 5%. -Aikido is not a martial art, it's a demonstration of one. -Self defence is a legal term not a system of combat conduct. - the vast majority of courses called "self defense" is nearly worthless. - Want to just have fun? Train whatever is fun to you. Want to defend yourself? Learn a combat sport (boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, judo, ju-jutsu, wrestling...etc). These are tips from a martial artist / combat sports practitioner who tried a lot of things for many years.
I honestly think that krav maga etc does work but if you mix it with combat sports like kickboxing and I can say that from experience since i've trained both for few years
I started my adventure with martial arts 20 years ago. I trained krav maga for almost a year than I switched to kickboxing, wrestling, sambo,bjj, thai boxing. Krav maga was waist of time. I completly agree with everything you said.
@@1andtheOnly you know that krav is a no rules martial arts, meaning they have the advantage, and their attacks are simplified but deadly, there's a reason why professional like devgru, seals, sas adopt this martial art
but its always hilarious to see the 'knife attack' where you actually never have that situation of attacker who stabs from above or wide...unreal set up
I grew up in big city with many gangs, usually you will not even see the knife, you think you have just been punched but then 30 seconds later feel some blood coming. There is no "knife defense" that works, this has been proven time and time again in the streets where it really happens.
First thing Krav taught me is how to run away effectively. It's really about survival and fighting as a last resort - but doing it properly. Most people I've met who are Krav Maga "veterans" have not had to use their skills at all outside of competition/grading ceremonies. The occasional person has stories about the odd bar fight (my instructor even had CCTV footage of him narrowly escaping 4 drunk guys to show that when dealing with drunk people, you can really use their state of mind to your advantage). I learned pretty quickly that fighting is really really unpredictable, particularly when it comes to street fights. In my instructor's footage, one of the people threw their keys in his face and left him with a black eye; this is not something you can predict at all, and will totally alter the outcome of a street fight. The longer you spend in those situations, the exponentially more difficult it becomes to survive and get away without taking damage or having to deal with the very tricky criminal implications of defending yourself. The one thing which will get you into trouble more than anything else is EGO. Arrogance has no place in a street fight; don't assume you're more skilled than they are, just focus on surviving. If all they want is your money/phone/car keys, give it to them and get out of that situation safely. Your belongings are not worth your life.
Knife training is part of the curriculum for elite Israeli military ' the sayeret or elite forces will take a knife from you and if needed and you whilst they are filling their falafel with more humus
If he wouldn’t block the knife, he’ll be dead before he can even use the gun. Every dummy knows you need correct range to use a weapon, and using a weapon can make you invulnerable. In that case, if the guy with the gun would’ve try to shoot, the knife guy would have precious time to dodge and stab.
Took it up in Riverside MO Global self defense about a year. Excellent instructor Eric Sively. Had to put on standby account kid in college and 90$ a month adds up annually.
well put together sales video ,but there are so many easy to learn systems by alot of ex special forces instructors who don't show on video ,but if you look harder enough you will find
@@david9180 yup "reasons". FUnny thing is that even in class you don't learn any "secret" moves. Wasted 2 years to find out it's a workout class with striking.
You walk differently when you know how to handle yourself too. Subconsciously, your body language reflects that sending the silent message, "DON'T F w me! Please and Thank You."
Someone I knew who became a taekwondo instructor said she once walked up to an attacker who'd started up w somebody and as soon as he saw her he ran for his life.... Sometimes even walking up, showing you're ready to fight is all you need to scare off the offender
I have always been an advocate that if you're going to defend yourself then Defend Yourself. In any situation where you're being attacked there are no referees who are going to pull the other guy off you. There are no rules, always assume your attacker is out to kill you and won't stop until he dose so, then will spit on your corpes and do a little dance while laughing afterwards. I'm not saying kill or be killed but make sure your attacker is no longer capable if attacking you for the foreseeable future. Even if it means breaking bones or crippling him.
Any fighting style must be practiced over and over and over again until it becomes the way you think, not the techniques you use. Krav Maga seems the most adaptable to real life fighting situations.
@@maxmiliancady8174 Who wants to be involved in a real street fight. I'm not saying this because I'm afraid but getting involved in stupid fights only gets you in danger. Any legit instructor traditional or modern combatives will tell you that.
Agreed. Having trained in Judo, Muay-Thai and Krav Maga, you are correct. K-M has taken the essentials from a lot of Martial Arts to create this Art....
@@FlashOnActive Krav Maga incorporate Judo, Karate, Boxing, Aikido and Wrestling. This is a fact IF you have practiced KM, this is explained to you. You're welcome....
@@Lifestartsatforty hey Seth, the basic camp is suitable for all levels. Even absolute beginners. I’ve got several excellent instructors with me and we often split into groups and work with each group according to their level. We also have more advanced programs for instructors, but on the camp beginners are welcome.
At least you are learning two arts that actually work not this crap. Telling students how to fight people with guns and knives is absolute retarded and will get someone killed.
Are you telling me that boxers are thugs 🤔? Or maybe you want to advertise everyone that judokas are walking accross thé streets to rob peoples ? To my knowledge, KRAV MAGA is to face an agressor not to step into the octogone.
@حر الرياحي the thing is Muay Thai fighters have an extremely unique way of striking. The combat mechanics is COMPLETELY different from what Krav Maga trains you for. For example, Krav Maga teaches you how to deal with strikes from the fist. It doesn't teach you what to do when someone comes at you with an elbow. Krav Maga ain't the broadest, so to speak, self defence system, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work at all. It works in very specific situations, but it works phenomenally. I did get attacked once, and let's just say it worked really well for me. I read a comment above about being well rounded. So if someone pulls a knife or a gun or something along those lines, KM is good. If you're going up against Muay Thai or BJJ or something, other systems may be better suited for those!
i was a Close Combat Instructor in The Corps and a U.S. Recon Marine vet. I also hold a black belt and brown belt in Okinawan Karate and Judo respectively and was taught by my Dad to box at a young age and boxed in Golden Gloves in H.S., finishing with a 24 - 4 amateur record. I have looked closely at Krav Maga; it was initially designed by the Israelis to teach to mostly untrained defense forces personnel to allow them a simple method of teaching martial hand to hand skills against multiple untrained aggressors to allow them to stay alive long enough to flee. Like all martial hand to hand teachings it can be effective given the right circumstances and the relative size/strength and proficiency of the two parties involved. In my opinion, the three top martial skills to learn in order are 1.) Boxing, 2.) Judo or Jujitsu and 3.) Weng Chung or Okinawan Karate.
If I had to pick 2, it would be Muay Thai and catch wrestling. Krav maga is, like you said, a 2-week course in Israeli army, learning mostly how to react to agression.
You are of course aware that Krav Maga is exclusively used by the Israeli Army which unfortunately in the last 70 years has been the most active army in the world. Countless soldiers (police officers and civilians) have used Krav Maga to save their lives in Israel and around the world. Today most armies and police forces around the world incorporate either Krav Maga or some variation of combative systems based on Krav Maga. So no. Not Hollywood choreography.
@@RonEngelmanKM yea but they dont fight without weapon, Israeli army always fight with gun. Krav Maga is not practical in real combat. It is all choreography
I appreciate the preemptive and spherical dynamics of this type of self defense. Makes sense to me. I also appreciate how you still have the glimmering Light of Humanity in your eyes despite all that you've seen and done. You are a true Warrior, My Friend. I salute you!
Well volunteer yourself and let’s see how long you last 💀💀💀 ISRAELI DEFENCE FORCE, the most powerful (pound for pound) military in the world… could you even defend yourself from an attack from marshmallows? Soft internet boy 💀
Very true. In a fight both combatants arrive ready and mentally prepared. Even two idiots fighting in a parking lot, both sides have made an active choice to be there and fight. In self defence it’s usually a matter of assault against an unready defender (the assumption is, if they saw it coming they would have tried to avoid the assault). But he have one advantage. The attacker may have chosen the target, the location, the place and the time, but usually for this reason they are in no way prepared for an aggressive and very violent response from the person they chose to attack. This catches them off guard and tips the scales in the defenders favour. That’s where Krav Maga comes in. We overwhelm the attacker, distance ourselves and draw our weapon (in the case of military or police) or run away in the case of civilians.
@@RonEngelmanKM I can’t read this it’s too long but anyway I personally think this art is not for “fighting” it’s for self defense on specific events so it shouldn’t be a main exercise for anyone
I practice this form of combat And I can say this for sure This is not a martial arts. But art meant to hurt disable and cripple the opponent. It’s pretty effective for self defense 👍
Krav Maga is a great system for putting all the pieces together if you have learned other systems such as Muay Thai, Jiujitsu, Judo, Karate, etc. It forces you to think about your arts in a real world manner and in unique situations with unique needs. The best instructors I have seen from this system usually come from a prior martial arts background and use techniques that they have learned with the knowledge they gained from Krav Maga. The instructors each have a unique, streamlined method. But, there is a common rubric. It is a conceptual art so knowledge of a prior system or concurrent learning of another system is encouraged. The best way to streamline this learning is to learn the systems your instructor has studied prior. The reason is it's a conceptual artand, it allows the instructor to correct any faults quickly. Krav Maga was developed to train soldiers in a line, quickly. A good instructor will give some one-one instruction to each individual student. I have had the privilege of working with some instructors in krav Maga and these guys had backgrounds in prior systems. Their methods were natural and fluid. I was shocked at how relaxed these guys were.
There is always a philosophy behind the martial art. In reality, you are just being trained how to defend yourself . All that matters is if the martial art adequately prepares you for the scenarios it trains you to handle. An evil or good person can learn the mechanics of martial arts. It is no different than learning how to shoot a gun.
looks a lot like the street fighting i know, in the description it states reflexive responses, that is street fighting, i been doing that since i was 14 and haven't lost a fight since i realized that instinctive reflex works so much better than formal training of any kind
@@richardmcginnis5344 I'm mostly just breakin your balls, I actually agree with your statement. There is no denying though that there's always the chance that you won't get to choose your opponent and you won't know if they have formal training, or if they have a large physical advantage till it's too late, which is where the utility of training a discipline comes in.
Yeah true. Half the fights I have been in I went into thinking this is gonna hurt, the thing is the fear this thought produces also produces adrenaline, the secret to my success in the few fights I have won was knowing that adrenaline gives me more than just anger and it really does work
@@richardmcginnis5344 That it does. I have been both blessed and cursed with an adrenal disorder and I suppose it probably gives me an advantage in legitimate defensive situations (or mock defensive situations) but it has given me long lasting sleep issues and a tendency to be resistant or even nearly combative towards medical attention or medical care staff if I'm injured, which I don't feel particularly good about since they're just trying to help me and do their job.
respect for the effectiveness of Krav Maga, unfortunately no higher stats are taught it's just a system to injure or kill quickly. There is no personal development
When you join a group of warriors and dedicate yourself to training hard and training regularly as you do in Krav Maga, boxing or BJJ and other styles, you will get strong, you will get fit, you will face constant challenges both internal and external and strength of character follows. So yes. Training in full contact martial arts with driven and dedicated people, joining a brotherhood/sisterhood of warriors is a sure way for character development.
I think Krav can be legit. However, you should know all aspects of fighting, not just stand up. I have a black belt in Kung Fu San Soo which is very similar to Krav Maga. I am also currently training in Kenpo & bjj. So knowing Krav Maga with other arts you can implement it where need be. My point is, the more you know and the more rounded you are, the better chance you have at defending yourself.
Love krav maga, it's beautiful but experience and what I seen on the street is pure luck will get u out most of the time but great work guys looks awsome
Well, that's what having a pressure training for, more like simulating the situation, but your opponent ressisting to create the pressure, adrenaline you're facing with
Not for me. I find the style of editting makes the video more flashy and attractive. When watching Bruce Lee we usually had to slow down the video but with KM it's editted in a way to speed it up to make it look more potent. The second thing when I watch Krav Maga it always starts off in a position that already has the attacker in his personal space. If a person finds themselves in this positions it's cause they messed up. Krav maga talks about kicks to the groin, eye gauging and other alternatives that isnt allowed in a mma scenario but I've never seen any KM school practise these defense drills. There is 3 reasons why I am not in favour of this.
@@kencallwood9066 I looked at it now and yes there is a basic groin strike thats usually done with holding the arm. Ever notice that when practising for a knife defence they always practise with right arm. If the attacker holds the blade in the other hand it will surprise the K.M. Also in K.M the attacks are always one direction. Fundamentals of a street fight is that you won't ever see a weapon in the real world and a knife attack changes angles all the time.
@@marco-uy8ex This is just 1 video. We do groin strikes in a ton of different ways with everything from punches to knees and kicks to elbows. Studies show that anywhere from 75% to 90%+ of the human race is right handed, so practicing with the most likely scenario makes sense. That said, we practice most techniques on both sides and the most basic drill is the 360º defense where we simulate attacks coming from all angles. The attacks in KM are definitely NOT always from one direction and it is an accepted fact that in a knife fight you WILL bet cut or stabbed at least once. The point of KM and these drills is to train your mind to not stop and to train your body on what to do if you manage to block the attack so you can minimize the damage and incapacitate or eliminate the threat as quickly as possible. No clue where you live or how many real life classes you've attended, but my advice would be to seek out a school that pushes you to the physical and mental limits and try it out for a month. If you're still not convinced, then you can go back to whatever it is you currently do.
@@kencallwood9066 It's good to hear that you guys are training for full 360 and I appreciate the honest answer. Yes in these circumstances there is really good knowledge and you seem like someone who knows their stuff. Unfortunately that quality of level is rare. Coming to what I've seen so far is that K.M uses sometimes a little to much force. K.m is supposed to be an always evolving self defence system but when I do show a technique to a K.M practionar thats very affective then they will shy away. For example a simple triangle with the arms and a simple forward step instead of a flying body. Krav Maga also has alot of teachers who preach it's not a martial art but then teach the hammer fist from MMA. (Some of them actually watch UFC and use those techniques in a live situation. )
You will find very few videos that tell you the absolute basics of how to engage when it’s a question of fight or flight. These guys are experts and so they can identify their targets and hit them with precision. This takes years of knowledge and practice but seems so easy on the screen. Almost all strikes are to the head and upper body and therefore also look impressive. These exercises are for the Dojo, not for street emergencies. Hitting others in the face is definitely not recommended - these days there are always those with phone cameras and that sort of evidence if the police turn up will always go against you initially - although it’s a natural instinct when we give in to our emotions instead of keeping focused on the main aim and that is to injure your opponent correctly so as to then go to the next phase which is flight. Dropping someone to the floor and then going down with them is also a no-no in the street, the most unsuspected individuals could join in and speed of execution is your goal. Now, the most important thing to keep in mind is that someone with an injured leg can’t run. This must be your priority: neutralize the leg. One leg is enough and the advantage is that there are two of them, versus one head, so you can choose whichever side suits you best. When confronted raise the arms as if to offer surrender. This catches the opponent off guard, keeps your head protected and also acts as an upper body stabilizer for the kick. Don’t kick with your toes out in front, much the same as with the hand; fingers and toes break with relative ease, that’s why punching isn’t recommended and open palm strikes are, use the heel instead. A sideways motion catching and displacing the kneecap is ideal. If you miss, you’ll at least have made the leg double sideways and if not breaking something is at least extremely painful; a straight blow to the knee will make the opponent feel sick and if hard enough will have them out of the game for long enough for you to get away. Also, on camera, it doesn’t show you to be either an expert or willing to inflict purposeful injury, rather a clumsy, spur of the moment way out. Now start practising at home so your “clumsiness” is highly effective. Like the man said, the more you do it, the better at it you are.
Lol where did u learn all this? Seems like u have some good tools, tho you did miss posture which comes first in order to keep you from being thrown over. Also, open palm smack on the cheek style blow over the fist in the nose? Nooo.... You could learn how to hold your hands correctly so to reduce chances of injury.
The idea behind Krav Maga: you walk away, alive. Your aggressor... not so much. Battered ( if they Stop) Broken ( if broken bones stopped their aggressiveness) Dead ( well this isn't a compitition where awards are handed out)
MMA is legalized street fighting and it is far more effective in self defense than Krav Maga. And it’s not just about the practitioner but some arts are just more effective. I seen multiple people spar with Krav Maga practitioners and when it comes to some one who is a MMA practitioner with base of boxing, BJJ, and wrestling, you’re likely to lose against that MMA practitioner. I’ve seen it countless times over the years.
Sorry to bust your party but KM is not as effective as practitioners and instructors make it out to be specially the knife fighting strategies and tactics. Before anyone hates on me for my comment. My comment is based on my own experiences from challenge matches I have personally issued at seminars and I was abruptly told to leave and I didn't get a refund either. To be specific I have only challenged their knife fighting tactics which will get you killed. In a nutshell, IF IT'S FLASHY, IT'S TRASHY! Feeding an instructor moves and reality are two entirely different ballgames.
In KM you are training to defend yourself against untrained attackers. Military KM originated as a system to quickly train soldiers with simple, gross motor fighting skills where aggression can cover up technical deficiencies under stress and combat conditions. Similarly, civilian KM aims to give regular people simple, principle-based fighting skills to defend themselves against untrained attackers, where aggression and relentlessness can cover up technical gaps under stressful conditions.
Actually developed by an Hungarian Jewish man called Imre Lichtenfeld , in order to defend his neighbourhood against Arrow Cross Fascists attacks in the 1930's . He later went to Israel and further developed the discipline .
"Krav Maga not a Martial Art"... yes it is. It fits the very definition of a martial art because it was developed by a military for self-defense applications! (and therefore also conforms to "martial" traditions.) This doesn't mean that it is any more or less effective. It has many of the same features of Okinawan karate and other defense oriented fighting styles. In fact, it looks like what the old Okinawan masters were teaching prior to karate being systematized in Japan in the 1920s. Anyways, great video. Thank you for sharing.
@@benedictjilek traditional martial arts are not only about sports... they *originated* as self defense systems. There are still some of us that actually focus on the self-defense part and not the flashy, useless, sporty stuff. Krav maga IS also a martial art... and closer in form and function to original karate than modern karate....
Is Krav Maga a recognised system, the reason I ask, is I have seen literally hundreds of videos and attended multiple classes, and no-one teaches it the same. It is as if they are all making it up, and just calling it Krav Maga for marketing reasons I am not saying what I have learnt does not work, just that it is different in every school, and has no set standard techniques,
Yes because it’s bollox and targeted at stupid weak people who do not have what it takes to learn a real art. Give your time to judo, boxing, bjj, wrestling. Krav Maga is myth aimed at taking money off yummy mummies who think after two weeks they can beat up the imaginary rapist. Or the man who thinks he can be a Jason bourne type after 2 weeks of krav. It’s bull shit. Learning to fight takes decades
@@djharto4917 well said. Krav could be good if they implemeted good boxing and bjj in their training, as well as sparring and pressure testing. You don't need to be an elite boxer to be able to look after yourself, but I do believe that it is the basis of all self defense and fighting arts.
@Kripton Chairs unfortunately too few of them do sparring lessons. Most focus on techniques, because tis is what people actually look for. Most people who start krav maga wish to know how to handle themselves if the situation arises without getting hurt in the process. So the multitude of techniques that appear very aggressive is very appealing. If you watch the episode on krav maga of Fight Quest, you'll see what I mean by sparring or pressure testing.
People that start Krav with no fundamentals of any kind of basic boxing skills will get rocked before they can even use there Krav skills. I've taken Krav classes and another coach brought a MMA fighter to the school. The MMA fighter took out the whole class because the Krav class didn't know how to fight. Once you learn the basics then you can incorporate Krav into your skill set.
Listen, I'm a huge advocate for Combat Sports/Martial Arts that have actually been used in MMA, Kickboxing, and worked etc, as the only working arts you should learn. But i think a session or 2 a week of Krav won't hurt along side. Expecially if they do it right, pressure test, spar, scenario training etc. Real legit Krav is like a Lite version of MMA with the aspects of self protection, security, weapons and defending against weapons, multiple attackers, Ooda loop stuff, awareness, preventing attacks/prevention of anything really that can cause you or your loved ones any issue like theft, kidnap, assault... The aggressive nature of Krav is good. A great extra tool for your tool box, if your tool box is Combat Arts only.
Reminded me of Steven Segal lol. KM works but it isn't a sport. And I'm not sure that its public, shall we say, version is the same thing. There's a lot of bullshit artists around.
With knives, things can go badly wrong. If your attacker has a knife, run, unless you have to fight or are cornered. If you get stabbed in an artery, you're dead within a few minutes after bleeding out.
Krav Maga is simply another form of traditional jujitsu, albeit hyper-adrenalized with no level of mastery involved. It's a common person's self-defense method done in an overt way. It's just ok as with any other self-defense form. It works and can save your life. The problem with Krav training is the emphasis on hyper-vigilance bordering on paranoia and lack of gradation in the response to a threat. It's all or nothing and this shit can put people in jail for hurt people needlessly. Do yourselves a favour and find a different type of self-defense that stresses grappling (tho not that silly ass goofy BJJ which can also get you killed) with an instructor who will show you how to control someone with different levels of force. Krav Maga, as a fundamental self-defense philosophy, has no room for mastery. Only response. Helluva thing for something that really is nothing more than jujitsu with a little bit of wrestling thrown in.
BJJ is not silly at all, it's very useful. But the best fighting arts for the streets are probably boxing or variants thereof like Muay Thai or kickboxing.
@@ETBrooD No, read what he said. You can't use boxing or Muay Thai in street freely, is very dangerous, if you knock down someone and he falls to the ground you can kill him or make him paraplegic and go to jail. You can practice them but you need a discipline to apply them safely, some personal protection or self defense.
@@Tricroman Boxing is incredibly useful on the streets, it's among the top fighting styles for self protection. Same goes for Muay Thai. Your argument makes no sense, because you have to be disciplined with any and all fighting styles.
what i allways ask my question why Krav Maga is not so present in UFC ? I would like to see a fight between best Krav Maga and best UFC Fighter has ther bin any simular fight or is Krav Maga more of one thing only wher you can fight unskilled bumb holding a gun ?
Weird how it's all "training" footage. You'd think with it being so popular you'd see actually street usage. Must be a coincidence maybe the literal hundreds of millions of cameras all around the world just happened to never catch it. It's definitely not because this shit is choreography and entirely ineffective.
Do whatever training you want but in a life threatening situation, there’s no rules, no illegal hits. If you’re not willing to crush testicles, poke eyes, slice a major artery you might die. I trained for a few years and saw that on the street if you aren’t ready to have killer mindset then you will most likely lose. At 5’5” and 135# I don’t have time to fight by a code of conduct, I’m going to fuck up my attacker in the most ruthless and brutal way I possibly can so I can get the hell out of there ASAP.
It must be a good thing to feel invincible. Even if you are not. Just that fact that you feel this way, is worth the training. Besides, its a good knowledge, but that might help you in dangerous situations in your life.
@@alejandragarza2670 Hmmmm...I think you should never feel invincible. Confidence never hurts of course. But lots of people's confidence boils down to overestimating themselves and thereby underestimating another.
KM is all about attitude...whatever it takes to get the job done. If you're not willing to jam both thumbs in an assailant's eyes, or rip an ear off, it might not be for you. If your KM school isn't teaching this attitude, find another KM school. I've seen no contact or light contact schools where the women actually thought they could take a hit from a guy twice their size. We learn to control power in class, but make contact with all strikes and kicks always. Survival on the street is no game of tag for points. Other styles have street concepts, but again it all boils down to attitude. Walk, talk, or look like a potential target and you may actually become one.
Repent and believe in the Gospel, accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in your hearts, believe in Him, Jesus Christ died for our sins to save us and give us eternal life.
Krav Maga is about lot more than just fighting. Many people think that self defence and street fighting are the same thing. They’re not. Krav Maga goes far deeper beyond simply no rules street fighting.
Sir, cool video but I have a question. Why don't you try this martial art in octagon vs MMA fighters just for public.

@@Moshe5573 good advise mate
PSA:
This is a flashy "sales" video for a "McDojo" martial art.
- Krav Maga does not teach you to face and disengage another human in unarmed combat because it lacks sparring, "pressure testing" what you learned.
-The success rate of defending a knife attack safely even by the most well trained is roughly 5%.
-Aikido is not a martial art, it's a demonstration of one.
-Self defence is a legal term not a system of combat conduct.
- the vast majority of courses called "self defense" is nearly worthless.
- Want to just have fun? Train whatever is fun to you. Want to defend yourself? Learn a combat sport (boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, judo, ju-jutsu, wrestling...etc).
These are tips from a martial artist / combat sports practitioner who tried a lot of things for many years.
Yup, its bullshito at its finest.
I honestly think that krav maga etc does work but if you mix it with combat sports like kickboxing and I can say that from experience since i've trained both for few years
I started my adventure with martial arts 20 years ago. I trained krav maga for almost a year than I switched to kickboxing, wrestling, sambo,bjj, thai boxing. Krav maga was waist of time. I completly agree with everything you said.
Have you tried DMT?

@@1andtheOnly you know that krav is a no rules martial arts, meaning they have the advantage, and their attacks are simplified but deadly, there's a reason why professional like devgru, seals, sas adopt this martial art
I have seen every Steven Seagal movie twice…… I’m basically a master at karaties🤣
@@fluffyfeetbmf dude that ain't even full master, watch all of his movies, then you will be unstoppable
but its always hilarious to see the 'knife attack' where you actually never have that situation of attacker who stabs from above or wide...unreal set up
Indeed.
Knife wide or high attack setups Not hilarious, dangerous, giving students false (very) self confidence
Exactly, if someone pulls a knife run. This bullshit only gets people killed. Or a jail sentence
So true, I pissed off so many Aikido instructors pointing this out.
I grew up in big city with many gangs, usually you will not even see the knife, you think you have just been punched but then 30 seconds later feel some blood coming. There is no "knife defense" that works, this has been proven time and time again in the streets where it really happens.
First thing Krav taught me is how to run away effectively. It's really about survival and fighting as a last resort - but doing it properly. Most people I've met who are Krav Maga "veterans" have not had to use their skills at all outside of competition/grading ceremonies. The occasional person has stories about the odd bar fight (my instructor even had CCTV footage of him narrowly escaping 4 drunk guys to show that when dealing with drunk people, you can really use their state of mind to your advantage).
I learned pretty quickly that fighting is really really unpredictable, particularly when it comes to street fights. In my instructor's footage, one of the people threw their keys in his face and left him with a black eye; this is not something you can predict at all, and will totally alter the outcome of a street fight. The longer you spend in those situations, the exponentially more difficult it becomes to survive and get away without taking damage or having to deal with the very tricky criminal implications of defending yourself.
The one thing which will get you into trouble more than anything else is EGO. Arrogance has no place in a street fight; don't assume you're more skilled than they are, just focus on surviving. If all they want is your money/phone/car keys, give it to them and get out of that situation safely. Your belongings are not worth your life.
Maybe Parkour is a better choice for those far younger than most of us.
Just tried it on my 5 year old, it works.

Okay, I'll tell you the truth:
I didn't expect such a comment on this video. You got me 😂ing!!! 👍👍
0:54 Krav Maga is great when someone attacks you with a knife, and you have an automatic rifle in your hands...
Knife training is part of the curriculum for elite Israeli military ' the sayeret or elite forces will take a knife from you and if needed and you whilst they are filling their falafel with more humus
If he wouldn’t block the knife, he’ll be dead before he can even use the gun. Every dummy knows you need correct range to use a weapon, and using a weapon can make you invulnerable. In that case, if the guy with the gun would’ve try to shoot, the knife guy would have precious time to dodge and stab.
Took it up in Riverside MO Global self defense about a year. Excellent instructor Eric Sively. Had to put on standby account kid in college and 90$ a month adds up annually.

@@david9180 yup "reasons". FUnny thing is that even in class you don't learn any "secret" moves. Wasted 2 years to find out it's a workout class with striking.
This type of technique takes a lot from different styles adapting the things that are more practical and the easiest including weapons.
You walk differently when you know how to handle yourself too.
Subconsciously, your body language reflects that sending the silent message,
"DON'T F w me!
Please and Thank You."
I agree with that.
yo thanks g brev fanks so much drilla
Someone I knew who became a taekwondo instructor said she once walked up to an attacker who'd started up w somebody and as soon as he saw her he ran for his life.... Sometimes even walking up, showing you're ready to fight is all you need to scare off the offender
I have always been an advocate that if you're going to defend yourself then Defend Yourself. In any situation where you're being attacked there are no referees who are going to pull the other guy off you. There are no rules, always assume your attacker is out to kill you and won't stop until he dose so, then will spit on your corpes and do a little dance while laughing afterwards. I'm not saying kill or be killed but make sure your attacker is no longer capable if attacking you for the foreseeable future. Even if it means breaking bones or crippling him.
Any fighting style must be practiced over and over and over again until it becomes the way you think, not the techniques you use. Krav Maga seems the most adaptable to real life fighting situations.
The fact that they took techniques from traditional martial arts and developed them into a new and effective system is impressive.
No, it is not. ou are a way off from the truth and you probably never been involved in real street fight. Do not believe in nice pictures.
@@maxmiliancady8174 Who wants to be involved in a real street fight. I'm not saying this because I'm afraid but getting involved in stupid fights only gets you in danger. Any legit instructor traditional or modern combatives will tell you that.

At least you are learning two arts that actually work not this crap. Telling students how to fight people with guns and knives is absolute retarded and will get someone killed.
Are you telling me that boxers are thugs 🤔? Or maybe you want to advertise everyone that judokas are walking accross thé streets to rob peoples ?
To my knowledge, KRAV MAGA is to face an agressor not to step into the octogone.
That’s not what I said at all.
@حر الرياحي the thing is Muay Thai fighters have an extremely unique way of striking. The combat mechanics is COMPLETELY different from what Krav Maga trains you for. For example, Krav Maga teaches you how to deal with strikes from the fist. It doesn't teach you what to do when someone comes at you with an elbow. Krav Maga ain't the broadest, so to speak, self defence system, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work at all. It works in very specific situations, but it works phenomenally. I did get attacked once, and let's just say it worked really well for me. I read a comment above about being well rounded. So if someone pulls a knife or a gun or something along those lines, KM is good. If you're going up against Muay Thai or BJJ or something, other systems may be better suited for those!

Amor de Israel ❤
Simple. Quick. Effective. Deadly. - We had an Israeli-trained K.M. instructor in the Hellenic Army some years ago. Shalom from Greece. 🇮🇱🌿🇬🇷
i was a Close Combat Instructor in The Corps and a U.S. Recon Marine vet. I also hold a black belt and brown belt in Okinawan Karate and Judo respectively and was taught by my Dad to box at a young age and boxed in Golden Gloves in H.S., finishing with a 24 - 4 amateur record. I have looked closely at Krav Maga; it was initially designed by the Israelis to teach to mostly untrained defense forces personnel to allow them a simple method of teaching martial hand to hand skills against multiple untrained aggressors to allow them to stay alive long enough to flee. Like all martial hand to hand teachings it can be effective given the right circumstances and the relative size/strength and proficiency of the two parties involved. In my opinion, the three top martial skills to learn in order are 1.) Boxing, 2.) Judo or Jujitsu and 3.) Weng Chung or Okinawan Karate.
imo: 1) Grappling (Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 2) Muay Thay 3) Kickboxing 4) Boxing
If I had to pick 2, it would be Muay Thai and catch wrestling.
Krav maga is, like you said, a 2-week course in Israeli army, learning mostly how to react to agression.
Learning the throws in Japanese is not easy.
@@PedroHenrique-cp8ib - The trick is not to get into a situaton where you have to grapple.

Or enter a mma fight! Lol
more hollywood choregraphy than real fight imo
I agree!
You are of course aware that Krav Maga is exclusively used by the Israeli Army which unfortunately in the last 70 years has been the most active army in the world. Countless soldiers (police officers and civilians) have used Krav Maga to save their lives in Israel and around the world. Today most armies and police forces around the world incorporate either Krav Maga or some variation of combative systems based on Krav Maga. So no. Not Hollywood choreography.
@@RonEngelmanKM yea but they dont fight without weapon, Israeli army always fight with gun. Krav Maga is not practical in real combat. It is all choreography

Yes killing school children throwing rocks at your Apache attack helicopters ! Real warriors
What Israel ?
Anyone who's been in Action with no this stuff works for real it's good as long as you practice and it works.👍
The art itself relies heavily upon on the element of surprise
Very true. In a fight both combatants arrive ready and mentally prepared. Even two idiots fighting in a parking lot, both sides have made an active choice to be there and fight. In self defence it’s usually a matter of assault against an unready defender (the assumption is, if they saw it coming they would have tried to avoid the assault). But he have one advantage. The attacker may have chosen the target, the location, the place and the time, but usually for this reason they are in no way prepared for an aggressive and very violent response from the person they chose to attack. This catches them off guard and tips the scales in the defenders favour. That’s where Krav Maga comes in. We overwhelm the attacker, distance ourselves and draw our weapon (in the case of military or police) or run away in the case of civilians.
@@RonEngelmanKM I can’t read this it’s too long but anyway I personally think this art is not for “fighting” it’s for self defense on specific events so it shouldn’t be a main exercise for anyone
@@RonEngelmanKM Amazing explanation. Unfortunately you lost your time trying to reply to the other guy who was lazy enough not to read it lol
@@williandossantos5200 Well said
I practice this form of combat
And I can say this for sure

But art meant to hurt disable and cripple the opponent.
It’s pretty effective for self defense 👍
Krav Maga is a great system for putting all the pieces together if you have learned other systems such as Muay Thai, Jiujitsu, Judo, Karate, etc. It forces you to think about your arts in a real world manner and in unique situations with unique needs. The best instructors I have seen from this system usually come from a prior martial arts background and use techniques that they have learned with the knowledge they gained from Krav Maga. The instructors each have a unique, streamlined method. But, there is a common rubric. It is a conceptual art so knowledge of a prior system or concurrent learning of another system is encouraged. The best way to streamline this learning is to learn the systems your instructor has studied prior. The reason is it's a conceptual artand, it allows the instructor to correct any faults quickly. Krav Maga was developed to train soldiers in a line, quickly. A good instructor will give some one-one instruction to each individual student. I have had the privilege of working with some instructors in krav Maga and these guys had backgrounds in prior systems. Their methods were natural and fluid. I was shocked at how relaxed these guys were.
There is always a philosophy behind the martial art. In reality, you are just being trained how to defend yourself .
All that matters is if the martial art adequately prepares you for the scenarios it trains you to handle.
An evil or good person can learn the mechanics of martial arts. It is no different than learning how to shoot a gun.
looks a lot like the street fighting i know, in the description it states reflexive responses, that is street fighting, i been doing that since i was 14 and haven't lost a fight since i realized that instinctive reflex works so much better than formal training of any kind
Ah yes, you're one of those "undefeated" street fighters. A regular folklore hero in the making
@@fuckknuckles9376 not at all, i have only been in 3-4 fights since i was 14 and i'm 58. i don't go looking for trouble and i don't start it either
@@richardmcginnis5344 I'm mostly just breakin your balls, I actually agree with your statement. There is no denying though that there's always the chance that you won't get to choose your opponent and you won't know if they have formal training, or if they have a large physical advantage till it's too late, which is where the utility of training a discipline comes in.
Yeah true. Half the fights I have been in I went into thinking this is gonna hurt, the thing is the fear this thought produces also produces adrenaline, the secret to my success in the few fights I have won was knowing that adrenaline gives me more than just anger and it really does work
@@richardmcginnis5344 That it does. I have been both blessed and cursed with an adrenal disorder and I suppose it probably gives me an advantage in legitimate defensive situations (or mock defensive situations) but it has given me long lasting sleep issues and a tendency to be resistant or even nearly combative towards medical attention or medical care staff if I'm injured, which I don't feel particularly good about since they're just trying to help me and do their job.
“Everybody has a plan, till they get punched in the mouth”-Mike Tyson
respect for the effectiveness of Krav Maga, unfortunately no higher stats are taught it's just a system to injure or kill quickly. There is no personal development
When you join a group of warriors and dedicate yourself to training hard and training regularly as you do in Krav Maga, boxing or BJJ and other styles, you will get strong, you will get fit, you will face constant challenges both internal and external and strength of character follows. So yes. Training in full contact martial arts with driven and dedicated people, joining a brotherhood/sisterhood of warriors is a sure way for character development.
Its tov maod and necessary to be alive to personally develop ' dead development is not fashionable
I think Krav can be legit. However, you should know all aspects of fighting, not just stand up. I have a black belt in Kung Fu San Soo which is very similar to Krav Maga. I am also currently training in Kenpo & bjj. So knowing Krav Maga with other arts you can implement it where need be. My point is, the more you know and the more rounded you are, the better chance you have at defending yourself.
Well said.👍🏾👍🏾
Completely agree with you

If I had a gun, I would never get close enough for you to hit me. A knife is a different story and even then I'd probably try to throw strike
Watching this video IS my morning cup of coffee.
I've seen Navy Seals deal with a knife attack, guess what, they run....
@markrussell9088 you’re talking nonsense, their job is literally to engage the enemy in battle and fight for their lives to kill the enemy you fool
krav maga its like aikido, but wearing militarian suits?
I think so
This is KM? Really? 🤔 How to die faster if someone attack u with a knife..
Well, that's what having a pressure training for, more like simulating the situation, but your opponent ressisting to create the pressure, adrenaline you're facing with
Not for me. I find the style of editting makes the video more flashy and attractive.
When watching Bruce Lee we usually had to slow down the video but with KM it's editted in a way to speed it up to make it look more potent.
The second thing when I watch Krav Maga it always starts off in a position that already has the attacker in his personal space. If a person finds themselves in this positions it's cause they messed up.
Krav maga talks about kicks to the groin, eye gauging and other alternatives that isnt allowed in a mma scenario but I've never seen any KM school practise these defense drills.
There is 3 reasons why I am not in favour of this.
@Kripton Chairs Many schools practise these drills.
You've been going to the wrong classes if you haven't seen 95% of the techniques incorporating at least one groin strike.
@@kencallwood9066 I looked at it now and yes there is a basic groin strike thats usually done with holding the arm.
Ever notice that when practising for a knife defence they always practise with right arm. If the attacker holds the blade in the other hand it will surprise the K.M.
Also in K.M the attacks are always one direction. Fundamentals of a street fight is that you won't ever see a weapon in the real world and a knife attack changes angles all the time.
@@marco-uy8ex This is just 1 video. We do groin strikes in a ton of different ways with everything from punches to knees and kicks to elbows.
Studies show that anywhere from 75% to 90%+ of the human race is right handed, so practicing with the most likely scenario makes sense. That said, we practice most techniques on both sides and the most basic drill is the 360º defense where we simulate attacks coming from all angles.
The attacks in KM are definitely NOT always from one direction and it is an accepted fact that in a knife fight you WILL bet cut or stabbed at least once.
The point of KM and these drills is to train your mind to not stop and to train your body on what to do if you manage to block the attack so you can minimize the damage and incapacitate or eliminate the threat as quickly as possible.
No clue where you live or how many real life classes you've attended, but my advice would be to seek out a school that pushes you to the physical and mental limits and try it out for a month.
If you're still not convinced, then you can go back to whatever it is you currently do.
@@kencallwood9066 It's good to hear that you guys are training for full 360 and I appreciate the honest answer.
Yes in these circumstances there is really good knowledge and you seem like someone who knows their stuff.
Unfortunately that quality of level is rare.
Coming to what I've seen so far is that K.M uses sometimes a little to much force.
K.m is supposed to be an always evolving self defence system but when I do show a technique to a K.M practionar thats very affective then they will shy away.
For example a simple triangle with the arms and a simple forward step instead of a flying body.
Krav Maga also has alot of teachers who preach it's not a martial art but then teach the hammer fist from MMA. (Some of them actually watch UFC and use those techniques in a live situation. )
You will find very few videos that tell you the absolute basics of how to engage when it’s a question of fight or flight. These guys are experts and so they can identify their targets and hit them with precision. This takes years of knowledge and practice but seems so easy on the screen. Almost all strikes are to the head and upper body and therefore also look impressive. These exercises are for the Dojo, not for street emergencies.
Hitting others in the face is definitely not recommended - these days there are always those with phone cameras and that sort of evidence if the police turn up will always go against you initially - although it’s a natural instinct when we give in to our emotions instead of keeping focused on the main aim and that is to injure your opponent correctly so as to then go to the next phase which is flight. Dropping someone to the floor and then going down with them is also a no-no in the street, the most unsuspected individuals could join in and speed of execution is your goal.
Now, the most important thing to keep in mind is that someone with an injured leg can’t run. This must be your priority: neutralize the leg. One leg is enough and the advantage is that there are two of them, versus one head, so you can choose whichever side suits you best. When confronted raise the arms as if to offer surrender. This catches the opponent off guard, keeps your head protected and also acts as an upper body stabilizer for the kick. Don’t kick with your toes out in front, much the same as with the hand; fingers and toes break with relative ease, that’s why punching isn’t recommended and open palm strikes are, use the heel instead. A sideways motion catching and displacing the kneecap is ideal. If you miss, you’ll at least have made the leg double sideways and if not breaking something is at least extremely painful; a straight blow to the knee will make the opponent feel sick and if hard enough will have them out of the game for long enough for you to get away. Also, on camera, it doesn’t show you to be either an expert or willing to inflict purposeful injury, rather a clumsy, spur of the moment way out. Now start practising at home so your “clumsiness” is highly effective. Like the man said, the more you do it, the better at it you are.
Lol where did u learn all this? Seems like u have some good tools, tho you did miss posture which comes first in order to keep you from being thrown over. Also, open palm smack on the cheek style blow over the fist in the nose? Nooo.... You could learn how to hold your hands correctly so to reduce chances of injury.
@@maggyf3932 I say again: Hitting the face is NOT recommended.
I do not understand all the closed fists punching In Krav Maga, how are you going to operate your weapon system with injured hands?
You're welcome, Ron
The idea behind Krav Maga: you walk away, alive. Your aggressor... not so much. Battered ( if they Stop) Broken ( if broken bones stopped their aggressiveness) Dead ( well this isn't a compitition where awards are handed out)

MMA is legalized street fighting and it is far more effective in self defense than Krav Maga. And it’s not just about the practitioner but some arts are just more effective.

I’ve seen it countless times over the years.

Sorry to bust your party but KM is not as effective as practitioners and instructors make it out to be specially the knife fighting strategies and tactics. Before anyone hates on me for my comment. My comment is based on my own experiences from challenge matches I have personally issued at seminars and I was abruptly told to leave and I didn't get a refund either. To be specific I have only challenged their knife fighting tactics which will get you killed. In a nutshell, IF IT'S FLASHY, IT'S TRASHY! Feeding an instructor moves and reality are two entirely different ballgames.
In KM you are training to defend yourself against untrained attackers. Military KM originated as a system to quickly train soldiers with simple, gross motor fighting skills where aggression can cover up technical deficiencies under stress and combat conditions. Similarly, civilian KM aims to give regular people simple, principle-based fighting skills to defend themselves against untrained attackers, where aggression and relentlessness can cover up technical gaps under stressful conditions.

Amazing Krav Maga, Ron
"Krav Maga not a Martial Art"... yes it is. It fits the very definition of a martial art because it was developed by a military for self-defense applications! (and therefore also conforms to "martial" traditions.)
This doesn't mean that it is any more or less effective.
It has many of the same features of Okinawan karate and other defense oriented fighting styles. In fact, it looks like what the old Okinawan masters were teaching prior to karate being systematized in Japan in the 1920s.
Anyways, great video. Thank you for sharing.
There are no referees
@@benedictjilek traditional martial arts are not only about sports... they *originated* as self defense systems. There are still some of us that actually focus on the self-defense part and not the flashy, useless, sporty stuff.

Krav Maga was developed to be start to finish in 3 weeks. What people are doing with it to get money in the US is just laughable and disgusting.

Esto es una belleza... De verdad es algo super útil en la vida
There is no physical defence against knife except mystical. No argument nor debate.
Is Krav Maga a recognised system, the reason I ask, is I have seen literally hundreds of videos and attended multiple classes, and no-one teaches it the same. It is as if they are all making it up, and just calling it Krav Maga for marketing reasons
I am not saying what I have learnt does not work, just that it is different in every school, and has no set standard techniques,
Yes because it’s bollox and targeted at stupid weak people who do not have what it takes to learn a real art. Give your time to judo, boxing, bjj, wrestling. Krav Maga is myth aimed at taking money off yummy mummies who think after two weeks they can beat up the imaginary rapist. Or the man who thinks he can be a Jason bourne type after 2 weeks of krav. It’s bull shit. Learning to fight takes decades
@@djharto4917 well said. Krav could be good if they implemeted good boxing and bjj in their training, as well as sparring and pressure testing. You don't need to be an elite boxer to be able to look after yourself, but I do believe that it is the basis of all self defense and fighting arts.
@Kripton Chairs unfortunately too few of them do sparring lessons. Most focus on techniques, because tis is what people actually look for. Most people who start krav maga wish to know how to handle themselves if the situation arises without getting hurt in the process. So the multitude of techniques that appear very aggressive is very appealing. If you watch the episode on krav maga of Fight Quest, you'll see what I mean by sparring or pressure testing.

Krav only works if you know the fundamentals of fighting first..
enlighten us !?
So true
Krav Maga is the fundamentals of fighting.
@@jonfassold any well placed hitting and striking is as effective as krav maga, don't let the name make it embellished
People that start Krav with no fundamentals of any kind of basic boxing skills will get rocked before they can even use there Krav skills. I've taken Krav classes and another coach brought a MMA fighter to the school. The MMA fighter took out the whole class because the Krav class didn't know how to fight. Once you learn the basics then you can incorporate Krav into your skill set.
Listen, I'm a huge advocate for Combat Sports/Martial Arts that have actually been used in MMA, Kickboxing, and worked etc, as the only working arts you should learn.
But i think a session or 2 a week of Krav won't hurt along side. Expecially if they do it right, pressure test, spar, scenario training etc.
Real legit Krav is like a Lite version of MMA with the aspects of self protection, security, weapons and defending against weapons, multiple attackers, Ooda loop stuff, awareness, preventing attacks/prevention of anything really that can cause you or your loved ones any issue like theft, kidnap, assault...
The aggressive nature of Krav is good.
A great extra tool for your tool box, if your tool box is Combat Arts only.
Krav Maga seems to rely consistently on the other guys willingness to participate.
Reminded me of Steven Segal lol. KM works but it isn't a sport. And I'm not sure that its public, shall we say, version is the same thing. There's a lot of bullshit artists around.
278 comments. Most from keyboard warriors who have never faced off against a Krav Maga practitioner.
Nobody is attacing from up with the kinfe. What kind of BS is this?
With knives, things can go badly wrong. If your attacker has a knife, run, unless you have to fight or are cornered. If you get stabbed in an artery, you're dead within a few minutes after bleeding out.
Makes me want to lose weight & try it out
Do it!
It’s fun and good workout and the staff are there always for support and encouragement
🎉😊 👍 nice self defence skills
Krav Maga is simply another form of traditional jujitsu, albeit hyper-adrenalized with no level of mastery involved. It's a common person's self-defense method done in an overt way. It's just ok as with any other self-defense form. It works and can save your life. The problem with Krav training is the emphasis on hyper-vigilance bordering on paranoia and lack of gradation in the response to a threat. It's all or nothing and this shit can put people in jail for hurt people needlessly. Do yourselves a favour and find a different type of self-defense that stresses grappling (tho not that silly ass goofy BJJ which can also get you killed) with an instructor who will show you how to control someone with different levels of force. Krav Maga, as a fundamental self-defense philosophy, has no room for mastery. Only response. Helluva thing for something that really is nothing more than jujitsu with a little bit of wrestling thrown in.
Not sure you have any idea what your talking about. Must have gotten beaten up by someone using KM and now your bitter about it
BJJ is not silly at all, it's very useful. But the best fighting arts for the streets are probably boxing or variants thereof like Muay Thai or kickboxing.
Agreed.
@@ETBrooD No, read what he said. You can't use boxing or Muay Thai in street freely, is very dangerous, if you knock down someone and he falls to the ground you can kill him or make him paraplegic and go to jail. You can practice them but you need a discipline to apply them safely, some personal protection or self defense.
@@Tricroman Boxing is incredibly useful on the streets, it's among the top fighting styles for self protection. Same goes for Muay Thai.
Your argument makes no sense, because you have to be disciplined with any and all fighting styles.
what i allways ask my question why Krav Maga is not so present in UFC ? I would like to see a fight between best Krav Maga and best UFC Fighter has ther bin any simular fight or is Krav Maga more of one thing only wher you can fight unskilled bumb holding a gun ?
Weird how it's all "training" footage. You'd think with it being so popular you'd see actually street usage. Must be a coincidence maybe the literal hundreds of millions of cameras all around the world just happened to never catch it. It's definitely not because this shit is choreography and entirely ineffective.
Do whatever training you want but in a life threatening situation, there’s no rules, no illegal hits. If you’re not willing to crush testicles, poke eyes, slice a major artery you might die. I trained for a few years and saw that on the street if you aren’t ready to have killer mindset then you will most likely lose. At 5’5” and 135# I don’t have time to fight by a code of conduct, I’m going to fuck up my attacker in the most ruthless and brutal way I possibly can so I can get the hell out of there ASAP.
I want to see Krav maga vs. Russian systema
These videos are hilarious. And then lots of people think they are invincible when they are oh so trained. 🤣🤣🤣
It must be a good thing to feel invincible. Even if you are not. Just that fact that you feel this way, is worth the training. Besides, its a good knowledge, but that might help you in dangerous situations in your life.
@@alejandragarza2670 Hmmmm...I think you should never feel invincible. Confidence never hurts of course. But lots of people's confidence boils down to overestimating themselves and thereby underestimating another.
whatta joke
Right.
KM is all about attitude...whatever it takes to get the job done. If you're not willing to jam both thumbs in an assailant's eyes, or rip an ear off, it might not be for you. If your KM school isn't teaching this attitude, find another KM school. I've seen no contact or light contact schools where the women actually thought they could take a hit from a guy twice their size. We learn to control power in class, but make contact with all strikes and kicks always. Survival on the street is no game of tag for points. Other styles have street concepts, but again it all boils down to attitude. Walk, talk, or look like a potential target and you may actually become one.
Stop the genocide in Gaza. Stop Netanyahu.
Finally a REAL IDF trooper who genuinely knows his craft and not some loud mouth Seppo
Был на сборах, как то не впечатляет крав-мага, набор из всего подряд без фундамента, огневая конечно на высшем уровне
"набор из всего подряд "
That's _exactly_ what it is, a smorgasbord. Intentionally.
Cicalone: “è un Krav Mago”
*scuola di botte* 😅😅
WE PEOPLE OF KARACHI PAKISTAN WAIT FOR WHEN KARAV MAGA TRAINING CENTER OPEN HERE...I AM INTO IT
😂Krav Maga is a joke🤣
Still see Pankration as the mother of total dominance.
KM also has elements of pankration in it.☝️😉
Нет такого государства как израиль, это Палестина,
I love when score card fighting style people bash Krav. Its been tried and true in use since WW2 in the real world.
Repent and believe in the Gospel, accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in your hearts, believe in Him, Jesus Christ died for our sins to save us and give us eternal life.
