@@capofodedor7399 yes for sure . More so now than ever before because most people don’t know how to fight, most people are to busy playing video games or do other things that are not as productive for themselves.
Hi nat, I'm a krav maga student, My russian instructor has years of experience in boxing and karate, I'm soo thankful that you did a video about krav maga, And in the side of the defence, I will say that the video with the wrist lock is farely rare for Krav Maga, I showed my instructor some Wrist lock moves that i learned and he said (Like you) that no one will just let you flip him, So i can calm you with the fact that the "Akido" stuff is very rare, And about the BJJ, Krav mage uses simple techniques even on the ground, We are not trained in the "Art" of ground game, We just practice things that can help us to get up from the ground and run (It's the best not to get to the ground when you fighting multiple opponents or someone with a weapon, And about the first video, Our coach makes us mma style days when we fighting purley like mma, We have head movement, Footwork and punches like boxing, And when it comes for the low, Kicks, Roundhouses, Knees and Elbows, We practicing VERY similar to muay thai, And with all of the other kicks, KARATE 🤟 And we do throat strikes, But no way near the way the guy in the video did it, We do Open hand bow strikes (And we do strike to the groin, Nose, Teeth and liver, We also stomp on the enemy's foot) Some Krav maga practicioners only do self defense, Me and a lot more practice self defense with dirty tactics AND mma fighting with what i mentiond before, Sorry for the long Comment, I hope you read all of this, And i LOVE to see you do more videos About Krav maga and find out what krav maga really is (And even add them to the Martial arts conversation\Shorts😉)
Been training and teaching Krav Maga for 20 years. I also teach Taekwondo and BJJ. What people forget when they discuss whether or not Krav Maga is effective is that the term "Krav Maga" translates to contact combat, which is incredibly vague. This is important because that means there isn't always uniformity within the art. I have seen people teach Krav Maga very akin to what I learned and teach, but then sometimes I'll see Krav Maga that is wildly different from anything I'd learned under that banner. Every single martial art in existence has good teachers and bad teachers, including some of the most universally acclaimed martial arts like boxing, wrestling, BJJ, etc. The thing is, since many of those arts are also sports, the ruleset of those sports gives the art some level of uniformity, even if the quality of instruction isn't always equal. Since Krav Maga is not a sport, this means you can just kind of teach anything and call it Krav Maga. At the end of the day, the Krav Maga I learned is an amalgamation of many martial arts. Boxing, muay thai, wrestling, BJJ, etc. Most Krav people aren't as good at boxing as boxers are, but if they learned from a good teacher, they have a broad understanding of all aspects of a fight, rather than being a specialist in one. Which the same can be said of MMA atheletes, which is essentially what Krav Maga is. MMA, without the competitive component. Real self defense situations rarely play out anything like an organized sport fight and another aspect of good Krav Maga training is going to be decision making and tactics. The objective isn't necessarily to win, but to not die and get away. That said, when push comes to shove, you need to be able to fight and that's why any good Krav Maga school should offer sparring. Sparring tends to look similar to MMA. Punches, kicks, takedowns, etc. just with things like groin kicks removed. This is a long winded post, but to anyone curious about it the key takeaways would be: 1. Krav Maga is a generic term, which makes quality control very difficult. 2. Krav students tend to not be specialists like boxers, wrestlers, etc. but have a broad and general understanding of all aspects of a fight. 3. Sparring is necessary for any martial art to translate into something effective.
I've done Krav Maga for a few years. The majority of Krav Maga ''gyms'' are for sure McDojos, but if you can find a good instructor it's good. We basically do MMA without some of the rules, and train with weapons too
I’m doing Krav Maga for more than 1 year now and continuing, I did karate growing up and I can say that if you find a good instructor Krav Maga is really effective, it’s like street fight and MMA without rules. We train for every type of scenarios, specially me, I’m a girl, I have to train for every type of body type or scenarios cause late at night you don’t know what you are going to face. We also do a lot of sparring and trains with weapons such as knives or (fake but still realistic) guns. There’s a lot of McDojos I won’t lie but if you find a good teacher like mine you would improve a lot.
I am a Krav Maga practitioner too, as i say the real Krav Maga is semplicity, there is no reason to do flashy stuff that would work 1 in 1000 times. I am also lucky that my teacher isn't a clown like many out there.
i've done krav maga for a little over 3 years and it's amazing how you figured the essence of it so quickly. krav maga is a salad of martial arts degsined for the street, and that's why it isn't effective in a ring fight and btw the video of the guy teaching the move looked very similar to my dojo class and overall: great video!
I practiced krav maga for around a year and although it did teach me how to fight and handle situations on the streets in quick ways, my coach ALSO taught me those aikido-like throws which i could never get the hang of since they were just too complicated I would recommend krav maga as a way to learn kickboxing, grapples and as a workout but there's a lot of unnecessary techniques too
I did krav for about 18 months back in like 2018. Didn't progress very far but had some good instructors and learned some decent striking basics and other minor techniques. I definitely believe the people that say it's been mcdojoed hard, my coaches would bitch about the online schools like krav worldwide every other day. Imo I think it's like any other decent martial art where you just have to find the right place to train.
Thing about krav maga is they don't have a curriculum. Krav maga is whatever your local master says it is. Originally krav maga come from the israeli army, but the thing about real army/special forces combat systems is that they presume that you allways carry a knife, and various firearms and also that you always have a bunch of your friends with your, also armed to the teeth. Close quarters combat becomes very different then. In most situations you just want to get at your opponent before he fires his weapon, and then control the weapon for like 5 seconds while your friends swarm or shoot the guy. If it works for the street it needs to be something entirely different from the original art.
I teach Krav Maga for two years now and I am doing it for 12 years. A few of my toughts: -If you want to learn how to fight you’ll go fastest with Krav Maga. We will teach you everything from boxing, to kicking, to grappeling, defence against weapons,… -Krav Maga is very good in teaching the basics. We are not however specialists, that is not what we are about. I’ll train you to be decent in everything but if you want to be an exellent boxer, go to a boxing gym as well. - Krav Maga takes a lot of color from the person teaching it. Some gyms are great, others suck because the trainer never did anything else than Krav Maga. I myself have a background in Muay Thai as well, my collegue has a black belt in judo. This is crucial in my view. Krav Maga is all about taking the best from everything and combining it. -A good club traines for different scenarios and in a realistic way. You go slow at first but than you pick up the pase and really try to kill your opponent with the training knive;). Put out the lights, go outside for a change, put on some loud music, use a shock knife, surprise them by playing out an actual scenario and see what they do. -Pay attention with trainers who think they know everything and want it done their way. I still learn from some of my students and that is just fine by me. - and finally, the best part about Krav Maga is the mindset. You got to learn to really want to take out your opponent and you can not mind how you do it. Kicking in the balls, fingers in their eyes, hitting him with a chair,… it is all possible and allowed;).
I'm no expert but trained some japanese jujitsu. About the wrist lock throw stuff, what I know for having tested it, is that people won't be thrown away like in the video but, if the wrist has been locked, he has no choice but to follow you. If not, the wrist is gone... In demos, the partner follows by being thrown away because it's the easiest way to avoid the wrist to be broken with such a speed...and it looks better too :p
I know from firsthand experience that Krav Maga works because I had a gun pulled on me by a drug addict. I also trained under Roy Elghanayan (the guy in the last video), and the techniques he demonstrated are only for show. Also, Roy is a high-ranked black belt in Jujitsu, so he incorporates Jujitsu techniques in his demonstrations to be fancy. But he does not teach this way in his classes. Krav Maga fundamentally teaches how to defend yourself and neutralize the threat as fast and brutally as possible. Like every other martial art, Krav Maga has its flaws, and I would recommend anyone to cross-train in a fighting sport, i.e., MMA, Boxing, Muay Thai/Kickboxing, to get that constant pressure testing from sparring that Krav Maga lacks.
I did krav maga for 2 years. The problem is you cant really pressure test krav, like you can with boxing, muay thai or BJJ. I found out the hard way that it's really not that effective.
I think one thing Krav Maga teaches you well is the fact that it encourages you to quickly deliver strikes and get out of the scene, but in terms of martial arts it’s enough for a surprise strike but not good for a proper sparring under any specific martial art rules in the ring. My boxing coach tells me all the time that my punching skill is way too mixed he has to fix me with lots of effort. And for street fight palm strike is the safest option, finger knifing is a terrible idea😂
Krav Maga is NOT a martial art. It is a combative system. It is not like karate, muay thai or, taekwondo. There is not supposed to be an exchange of strikes, between opponents. It is supposed to be more one-sided - neutralising an assailant as quickly and as effectively as possible. Krav Maga is a combative for reality based scenarios, whether in war or 'on the street'.
I practice krav maga and that's not true while the aim is to give you the upper hand and end the fight as quickly and effectively as possible, krav maga does include exchange of strikes. i've been taught moves from: karate, muay thai, jiu jitsu, boxing.
@Brd876 For street defense it depends on which branch you're training: civilian or military. Civilian is like muay thai but there's also grappling. Military is obviously, designed for the military and will help less in the street but will still teach you how to throw punches and kicks.
I used to do Krav Maga and my main issue with it is that theres a fair lack of pressure testing. Theres a lot of mannequin training (doing techniques on non resisting opponents) and because the sparring has rules its basically just kickboxing and/or MMA sparring
I mean, you can only reasonably approximate a real self-defense situation so closely before you start to have the same risks too. Best you can do is select sparring rules to keep it as real as possible while eliminating most of the risk of injuries, while also trying to familiarize students with things that are effective, but too dangerous to allow in regular sparring.
@@samwisegamgee7296 Oh, definitely. If there's any place for mannequin training it's very niche. Disarms and combos should tested against resistant opponents.
I’ve done Krav for over a year and I’m switching to a combo of bjj and kick-boxing, it’s just that we don’t do much sparring so you really just can’t have true experience
In my gym we sparred in every Session with mouth piece, head protection and groin protection, after warm up and shadow training ofc. We also used the puppets or like the “juggernaut” outfit on someone to really let it all out 😂😂
I have been doing Krav Maga for 3 years (age 11-14) and I cannot explain how helpful it’s all been. At the beginning I couldn’t fight for sh*t 💀 now however, I can have taken down fully grown adults (mostly family members/family friends when I have a fair spa and two of them being power lifters). Even in school if anyone had ever tried to start something I have de-escalated the situation in seconds. (Didn’t hurt any of them as I didn’t want to but I can take them down/ various grab defences). Also It is a mix of Aikido, Boxing, Judo, Karate, Wrestling, etc. Athough other martial arts are really really good and effective, I can also beat mates who have been training in different martial arts for the same time as me. One more thing, I have just seen Nat mention this, but yes, it is made to focus on simple but effective solutions to get out of the situations as quickly as possible and also to make sure the other person is seriously hurt (or at least making sure your attack is equal to what the other person is doing if that makes sence lmao)
I have the same expirience as you tho i joined krav maga afte 8 years of doing karate(i started on age 3) and joined krav maga at the same age of you and im 15 now so im already 4 years in krav maga and can say its one of the most if not the most effective martial arts for the streets
There are some good and simple moves, but you can get all of that in Karate, Ju Jitsu, Muay Thai, Kickbox. In my opinion the problem with Krav Maga techniques, at least what I've seen on these videos, is there is no resistance from the enemy, not a single counter-action, which is highly unrealistic. Basically its like Aikido, where the enemy is patiently waiting until you're finishing your techniques, but that's highly unrealistic. Every single action move of yours will have a counter move.
I mean it's supposed to be a demonstration right? The problem with actually showing these kind of techniques full strenght and speed seems to me a 100% injury risk, just like in Aikido you have all these twists and pressure against ligaments and joints doesn't seen healthy at all... Also you mentioned some martial arts but none of them actually gives you the street smartness Krav Maga does, concepts like environment knowledge, situational reading, crowd analysis, riot control and even criminal psychology are things you'll never hear about in a combat sports class because it's not their main objective... Now during self-defense training it's more like you to have contact with this kind of study and get deepen into concepts like that along with the combat drills if you go for a legit self-defense school, whatever martial art it is.
As someone who trained in Krav Maga, I was put in scenarios were the opponent had to use force. There was also some training were I had to walk down an alley once or twice and I was randomly attacked. I didn't know who would attack me or how. Despite all this, I still highly recommend Krav Maga, it's like a crash course on survival. A lot of these videos are for training purposes but when you actually train, there is more pressure and it is more intense.
I currently take krav maga but my instructor has 20 years experience with karate and puts some of his karate techniques in it but alot of people hate it because the practitioners who teach it suck not the martial art
I've just bought your flexibility programme, looks good, I'm going to get started right away. I've just recently started Taekwon-Do(ITF) at 41 so I've been looking for a dedicated stretching programme, I'm pleased to find something so appropriate for martial arts 🙂
I started martial arts looking for a Krav school and finding a karate teacher who also taught Krav Maga. I learned both karate and Krav Maga for a while, and I must say, while Krav certainly has some strengths as an art, it is also very lacking. It lacks good pressure testing, with most practice being done is non resistant drills. It does teach a good mindset for self defence, but I don’t think it has much value against a more focused fighting style, such as boxing or BJJ. It’s good for an average bum that doesn’t know how to fight in whatever field you are fighting in, but it lacks any speciality. I also find it might be a bit delusional in certain places, as it advocates an incredible amount of knife and gun disarms, which, to be frank, aren’t going to work against a real opponent. I personally find karate to be a better art for me, but Krav taught me some good things about physical aggressiveness whilst fighting (going on the offensive with simple techniques to finish a fight as soon as possible for example). I would say that as a whole, the art is effective, but only against people that aren’t very experienced or good at fighting. And especially not against people with weapons.
Actully we do practice with pressure in krav maga, if we dont respond as we should we are just gonna get hit. Maybe with your teacher it was diffrent but i had 4 teachers and all of them taught me the same. Ofcurse disarming a gun or a knife its hard and the first thing they teach is that if ypur opponent has a weapon you are gonna get injured 99% but their teaching you how to get injured less and even maybe injure your opponent more. And if you put a krav maga fighter and karate or boxing fighter vs somone with a knife the krav maga fighter will have more chance to survive than the others. Ofcurse every thing i just said is depented on the fighter.
As someone who does KravMaga I can tell you it heavely depends on your school. Some are utter bullshit. Good KravMaga coaches mix it up with different things (wrestling, Muay Thai, stick fighting, MMA, etc.) it defenetly works on everyone that is u trained but depending on your school you might have troubles learning to fight another fighter.... I have an amazing coach who mixes it up with other styles
You have a good point there but just bare in mind when it comes to fighting another fighter you will struggle with any martial art you learn it all comes down to who is a better practitioner
@@thomo2127 that's true of course. And to be fair if a KravMaga fighter notices he has no Charnce he will run away. Not to mention if there is a chance to escape, every KravMaga Practionar that follows the rules of the art will run away
@@Weri_hd 100% I'm a krav maga practitioner and one thing that we always get taught is success is never guaranteed and if running away is an option is to always go for it martial arts don't make you invincible unless your jon jones ahah
@@thomo2127 Not Even Jon Jones could stand against two people. What is he gonna do? Armbar one of them and then get his head kicked in by the other one? No one is invincible
This is personally why I think Krav has a bad reputation. Some is complete bullshido while some is the real deal. I personally have an amazing one that offers kickboxing and more and I am getting green belt very soon. (I also know a bit of blue and brown) Also some of the moves are done really fast Natt, so some of them look unrealistic, but believe me they work. I have been on the receiving end by my coach sometimes lol
Many krav maga school are based on the fact that you have time and reflexes to think, chose and execute a predetermined moveset in time to defend yourself, but we know that in reality it's almost impossible to do that. One serious krav maga teacher I know here on youtube always tells his students that what he teaches is not guaranteed to work 100%(you must try to defend yourself but keep in mind life is unfair and you may or may not succeed). He also minimized the moveset to make it broader, so you won't have to think "it's a right punch so I defend with the right punch counter technique", but you can apply the tecnique for differnt attacks and you train to do it faster and faster
If you can't think fast on fighting situations; ring/octagon or street you can't really fight doesn't matter krav maga or any other combat systems or martial arts
@@gonenkitaroo1772 thinking and reacting fast is a skill you can train, but we are still human and we hava several human limits, including processing and reaction time
When someone pushing with 2 hands usually goes on the chest line , if you see it coming in time you can slap the arms apart from inside so the force get directed off you and they lose balance and fall forward towards you. Because your arms inside your attacker you can strike body and face (inside fighting) If you can't avoid the push, as you step back, use the rear leg to stop and launch yourself forward like sprinters at start. Most of the time you will have no time to step away like in the demonstration, because you don't know what happens before hand.
Krav Maga will not be useful in the arena because its moves are illegal (hits to the groin, throat, eyes and all kinds of other sensitive places) but in a street fight it is one of the most effective and why? Because it is built for the military, then the art is specialized against weapons and against dangers in the fastest way possible. And the principle of Krav Maga is not the first thing to run away if possible because if it comes to a situation where your opponent has a weapon then 99% you will get injured and the whole goal of Krav Maga is that you get injured as little as possible, and the guy with the green shirt doesnt do krav maga
@@Fegma1234 it’s true but especially in KM because its purpose is to defend yourself in a street fight so there are tone of bullshit techniques that some instructors teach to their students
I learnt Krav Maga for about 10 months under one of the IKMF affiliated schools. Quit it recently a month or two ago. Some of the techniques do work like getting out of chokeholds and headlocks if you pressure test it enough, however the striking was lackluster to say the least. The kicking and punching is basically the same as any kickboxing MMA style, they have elbows and knees as well. My biggest issue is that the amount of sparring was very less. In total of the 10 months I learnt it, we only properly sparred only about 10-12 times. I feel like I've gotten what I wanted out of it, now I'll go join Muay Thai or proper MMA.
Our Krav Maga program doesn't have sparring for its beginning class, but one get promoted to the intermediate level and start taking the intermediate class. You spar almost every session. Most people get promoted within a year.
It was made by the Israeli defense force, made for the fit and trained men in the force. Not this easy, use against people bigger and stronger than you martial art
raymondbishop6454@ are you dumb? krav maga is literly made to counter bigger ppl with grapling and ground work and to get out of the attacks and counter your just so stupid cause krav maga is literly the key of self defense and i was in a spar against someone way bigger and i got out of literly every lock with ez cause its just effective and straghit on point your so dumb fr
Kara maga is a military defence system designed by Israel if u run out of ammo or ur gun gets damaged and for whatever reason ur knife is missing they teach u not run because when the enemy has weapons like that running is generally dangerous u will get shot in the back it teaches u a lack of fear which might help u counter the situation with enoug aggression it’s absolutely useless in street defence unless the person is truly had some experience with it other than theory as they don’t have sparring or there is no likely situation we’re u can use it well andnotgoto jail so most people are terrible not something to learn in my opinion
Hi Nat I was wondering if you ever met John Townsley unfortunately he has pass away a few years back my husband and I trained with him back in 1980 through 1990's love your technique and the way you tech everyone keep up the awesome work👍
@qoyha it was developed against antisemites in Czechislovakia on the dawn of WW2. I'm not sure how much Imi, the founder, was associated with the military back then
Actually, it was created by a Hungarian guy, named Imre Lichtenfeld, who then taught it to the Israelis after he moved to Israel. But it's not an Israeli invention. He developed all these things back in the 1930s, when he was a boxer in Hungary. But as a Hungarian, I would say its not as effective as it is advertised, but its a bit overrated, as many techniques seem to be like against a static enemy, not a dynamic enemy, which how fights actually goes in the reality.
Can you do one of these for Japanese Ju Jitsu? It's a complete combat system with strikes, throws, grappling and joint manipulation/locks used for self defense in real life scenarios, I'd like to see what you think of it
In the knife defence video the defence is not a throw, it is a wrist break but then opponent goes with it to allow for a fast, powerful defence, at least it is in Hapkido. It may be different in KM, but I doubt it.
Since Krav Magais not an actual martial art but more a bunch of generic "rule" to adopt during a self defence situation The difference is made from the instructor and which martial art he/she decide to teach and how
No matter what you train or what you do, the art’s effectiveness depends entirely on you. How well you train, sparring, technique, etc. your strength, speed, IQ, and training vs someone else’s. That’s it man. Krav Maga taught by military officers and used in the field is obviously more effective than a random dude in a warehouse teaching people who never use it vs competing trained fighters of any sport.
you are also not punching the throat or the face with your fingers, youre puting them into their eye socket...i trained to do this, i can punch through walls with my fingers like that. skull is yes harder than a wall, but i can also put my fingers through drywall...putting that in the throat or eye does damage, trust me, i know, dudes kneck was messed up for weeks.
Krav maga practitioner here Ive been watching your vids for a while now I can see that both karate and krav maga have a mcdojo problem good krav maga gyms are hard to come by under and idf affiliated gym you're learning the same from israel very useful for self defence very illegal from a competition stand point
Ive been doing krav for 6 years and in my opinion, it works well in different scenarios. I think the problem is that without training it, and just watching these “instructional videos” gives people a bad interpretation of it, because like with karate, there are many mcdojos that don’t teach it properly. Even i agree after doing km for a while that these videos suck and i think this is why krav has a bad rap now.
okay, just so you know, that disarm was not a throw or a toss. you roll with the manuver so the person doing it, can practice it in real world context, without snapping your training partners arm. does that make sense? essentially, what they are doing, is spinning the arm beyond which it is meant to, and snapping it like a twig. another example, is twisting the stem out of an apple....or, twisting the wing off of a chicken.... trust me, if i did that to you, you would be in the hospital and not training for six months, as your arm would be shattered. you know in BJJ how they tap, because they are submissions. you cannot tap from this, it is not a submission, its essentially bending somebodys fingers to the back of their hand and twisting. or, hyper extending a knee with a teep kick. these arent submissions, its just a move designed to literally dismember your opponent.
I used to do krav, my instructor also taught boxing and arnis so we did a lot of different striking and wrestling stuff. One time we got markers and old shirts to play knife duel and defense.
the idea of krav maga is to neutralize the opponent not kill him thats why he was holding his head while he was falling krav maga can also be used with weapons like knifes etc
True story, a wealthy Jewish guy in Los Angeles bought a massively expensive watch and advertised the fact on social media. Two street hoods who'd been following him on social media turned up at a restaurant where he was dining, one of them with a gun. The Jewish guy defeated them easily using krav maga, although an innocent bystander was hit in the leg when the gun went off. Actress Joan Collins was dining at the same restaurant and witnessed the whole thing.
Some of these comparison videos are a joke. If you honestly believe that first fighting comparison on the grass was a real fight, you're as gullible as Nat Hearn 😂
@@nathearn no prob u personally helped me in my karate journey so thank u and I’m a brown belt but I did get knocked out not to long ago but oh well if yr curious it was illegal kick to the head but thx keep up the work💪
I have just bought your flexibility program. I have been looking for something like this for ages as I need to do more stretching at home. I'll keep you updated on the results :)
@Lord-Dovahkiin Thank you very much. I am a little bit flexible already since I have trained in goju ryu for a year and a half, but I just want to make sure that my kicks are the best that they can be.
I saw a lot of teachers in the comments , but I am just a student with a yellow belt... I compare Krav Maga a lot to Star Wars Forms , you have 7 forms (karate etc. ) which to me are like dance and death when you look at it and visually it looks good and it works... Then you have a style that borrows the easy stuff and makes it into a quickie... Krav Maga looks almost illegal to those who do Martial Arts (which is kind of true, no rules) because you commonly see leg kicks, toes to the eyes etc. It's all about defending yourself and stopping the attacker from getting up and attacking, so yes, there will be a broken nose, but it will live... The attacker will not come out alive if they attack with a knife, gun etc. Here we will determine mainly the definition of wounding, disarming and subsequent mercylessness, when is it more likely that the mercilessness.... This can happen within , I wouldn't be afraid to say 5 seconds at most , whether the knife is under the neck , attacking from the side , aiming at the body from medium range or from behind... It is certainly effective , just not in the arena where you have rules. Krav Maga can be used against poles, drunks... But as others have pointed out here, a lot of it comes down to the coach and their experience, I have a great one who knows what he's doing and doesn't want any complicated stuff. Krav Maga seems to me a bit like a preparation for other martial arts, it's all about being able to defend yourself in the shortest possible time and, most importantly, anyone can do it, whether you're 8 years old or 50. After all, it's for the Army, which speaks for its quality, doesn't it?
Krav Maga an Israeli self-defense system developed for the Israel Defense Forces, it’s a blend of Boxing, Wrestling, Aikido, Judo and Karate but with weapon disarming techniques and its known for its focus in real-life scenarios, It’s a good to be used on the street like BJJ 🫣
The C hand? Is taught in krav as one of the basics. That heel of thumb slap to just below the tmj in front of the ear, or the outside edge of the palm just under the ear right on the side of the nape of the neck.. not a straight finger poke into the throat, rather the strike entails you close your fingers as your wrist reaches its apex to make the acceleration faster.
I did Krav Maga for a couple of years when I was, like, 8, so my experience and memory is very much NOT the standard for that art. I personally find it pretty good for self defense, but I understand people who are more focused on competition who might not like Krav
Krav maga absolutely works but it has glaring holes, and some of its defences are silly or overcomplicated. Asking "does Krav maga work?" is like asking "Does karate work?" What style of karate? Who is doing it? In which situation? Watching a couple of beginners doing it is hardly a fair test. The massive flaw in Krav Maga is that it's unapologetically, relentlessly commercial. It can also be dangerously inflexible in its defences. The fact that it had at least one major break away should tell you something.
i was actually hear to recommend him to a video on a krav maga style move... essentially, gran somebody by the ear, maybe not all fighters have good grip strength, but worth it... trust me, there isnt anything viable you are doing without getting your ear ripped off. i got jumped by 3 people, im well trained, but they hit me when my back was turned. had one by the throat, other by the ear. and one bouncing my head off the ground like a basketball with his foot. i won that fight. mainly because i wouldnt let go till the dude stopped stomping me. dad taught me to make sure you see the fear of god in their eyes before you are done with them, and i did. but seriously, do a video where somebody grabs you by the ear. see what, if anything, you can do about it.
well you've made a mistake by comparing krav maga to martial arts because it is not a Martial art. not is it a sport. it's pure self defense created in the 30's by a street man for street use

Hi nat, I'm a krav maga student, My russian instructor has years of experience in boxing and karate, I'm soo thankful that you did a video about krav maga, And in the side of the defence, I will say that the video with the wrist lock is farely rare for Krav Maga, I showed my instructor some Wrist lock moves that i learned and he said (Like you) that no one will just let you flip him, So i can calm you with the fact that the "Akido" stuff is very rare, And about the BJJ, Krav mage uses simple techniques even on the ground, We are not trained in the "Art" of ground game, We just practice things that can help us to get up from the ground and run (It's the best not to get to the ground when you fighting multiple opponents or someone with a weapon, And about the first video, Our coach makes us mma style days when we fighting purley like mma, We have head movement, Footwork and punches like boxing, And when it comes for the low, Kicks, Roundhouses, Knees and Elbows, We practicing VERY similar to muay thai, And with all of the other kicks, KARATE 🤟
And we do throat strikes, But no way near the way the guy in the video did it, We do Open hand bow strikes (And we do strike to the groin, Nose, Teeth and liver, We also stomp on the enemy's foot) Some Krav maga practicioners only do self defense, Me and a lot more practice self defense with dirty tactics AND mma fighting with what i mentiond before, Sorry for the long Comment, I hope you read all of this, And i LOVE to see you do more videos About Krav maga and find out what krav maga really is (And even add them to the Martial arts conversation\Shorts😉)
Been training and teaching Krav Maga for 20 years. I also teach Taekwondo and BJJ. What people forget when they discuss whether or not Krav Maga is effective is that the term "Krav Maga" translates to contact combat, which is incredibly vague. This is important because that means there isn't always uniformity within the art. I have seen people teach Krav Maga very akin to what I learned and teach, but then sometimes I'll see Krav Maga that is wildly different from anything I'd learned under that banner.
Every single martial art in existence has good teachers and bad teachers, including some of the most universally acclaimed martial arts like boxing, wrestling, BJJ, etc. The thing is, since many of those arts are also sports, the ruleset of those sports gives the art some level of uniformity, even if the quality of instruction isn't always equal. Since Krav Maga is not a sport, this means you can just kind of teach anything and call it Krav Maga.
At the end of the day, the Krav Maga I learned is an amalgamation of many martial arts. Boxing, muay thai, wrestling, BJJ, etc. Most Krav people aren't as good at boxing as boxers are, but if they learned from a good teacher, they have a broad understanding of all aspects of a fight, rather than being a specialist in one. Which the same can be said of MMA atheletes, which is essentially what Krav Maga is. MMA, without the competitive component.
Real self defense situations rarely play out anything like an organized sport fight and another aspect of good Krav Maga training is going to be decision making and tactics. The objective isn't necessarily to win, but to not die and get away. That said, when push comes to shove, you need to be able to fight and that's why any good Krav Maga school should offer sparring. Sparring tends to look similar to MMA. Punches, kicks, takedowns, etc. just with things like groin kicks removed.
This is a long winded post, but to anyone curious about it the key takeaways would be:
1. Krav Maga is a generic term, which makes quality control very difficult.
2. Krav students tend to not be specialists like boxers, wrestlers, etc. but have a broad and general understanding of all aspects of a fight.
3. Sparring is necessary for any martial art to translate into something effective.
I've done Krav Maga for a few years. The majority of Krav Maga ''gyms'' are for sure McDojos, but if you can find a good instructor it's good. We basically do MMA without some of the rules, and train with weapons too
@@Bolling0 same.
Accurate and corrext
"The reason I picked Joe Rogan is because I don't think he'd speak on a topic unless ue knew a little bit about it" oh my sweet summer child 😂😂
Well I think it’s true as far as martial arts or psychedelics go. If he’s talking about anything else…
I’m doing Krav Maga for more than 1 year now and continuing, I did karate growing up and I can say that if you find a good instructor Krav Maga is really effective, it’s like street fight and MMA without rules. We train for every type of scenarios, specially me, I’m a girl, I have to train for every type of body type or scenarios cause late at night you don’t know what you are going to face. We also do a lot of sparring and trains with weapons such as knives or (fake but still realistic) guns. There’s a lot of McDojos I won’t lie but if you find a good teacher like mine you would improve a lot.
I am a Krav Maga practitioner too, as i say the real Krav Maga is semplicity, there is no reason to do flashy stuff that would work 1 in 1000 times. I am also lucky that my teacher isn't a clown like many out there.

i've done krav maga for a little over 3 years and it's amazing how you figured the essence of it so quickly.
krav maga is a salad of martial arts degsined for the street, and that's why it isn't effective in a ring fight and btw the video of the guy teaching the move looked very similar to my dojo class and overall: great video!
I practiced krav maga for around a year and although it did teach me how to fight and handle situations on the streets in quick ways, my coach ALSO taught me those aikido-like throws which i could never get the hang of since they were just too complicated
I would recommend krav maga as a way to learn kickboxing, grapples and as a workout but there's a lot of unnecessary techniques too
I did krav for about 18 months back in like 2018. Didn't progress very far but had some good instructors and learned some decent striking basics and other minor techniques. I definitely believe the people that say it's been mcdojoed hard, my coaches would bitch about the online schools like krav worldwide every other day. Imo I think it's like any other decent martial art where you just have to find the right place to train.
Krav Maga is great! I train both Karate and Krav Maga and I see so many practical applications of kata in Krav Maga.
I do Krav Maga too:)
Again it al boils down to "its the artist not the art"
Yes true👍
Thing about krav maga is they don't have a curriculum. Krav maga is whatever your local master says it is. Originally krav maga come from the israeli army, but the thing about real army/special forces combat systems is that they presume that you allways carry a knife, and various firearms and also that you always have a bunch of your friends with your, also armed to the teeth. Close quarters combat becomes very different then. In most situations you just want to get at your opponent before he fires his weapon, and then control the weapon for like 5 seconds while your friends swarm or shoot the guy. If it works for the street it needs to be something entirely different from the original art.
I teach Krav Maga for two years now and I am doing it for 12 years. A few of my toughts:
-If you want to learn how to fight you’ll go fastest with Krav Maga. We will teach you everything from boxing, to kicking, to grappeling, defence against weapons,…
-Krav Maga is very good in teaching the basics. We are not however specialists, that is not what we are about. I’ll train you to be decent in everything but if you want to be an exellent boxer, go to a boxing gym as well.
- Krav Maga takes a lot of color from the person teaching it. Some gyms are great, others suck because the trainer never did anything else than Krav Maga. I myself have a background in Muay Thai as well, my collegue has a black belt in judo. This is crucial in my view. Krav Maga is all about taking the best from everything and combining it.
-A good club traines for different scenarios and in a realistic way. You go slow at first but than you pick up the pase and really try to kill your opponent with the training knive;). Put out the lights, go outside for a change, put on some loud music, use a shock knife, surprise them by playing out an actual scenario and see what they do.
-Pay attention with trainers who think they know everything and want it done their way. I still learn from some of my students and that is just fine by me.
- and finally, the best part about Krav Maga is the mindset. You got to learn to really want to take out your opponent and you can not mind how you do it. Kicking in the balls, fingers in their eyes, hitting him with a chair,… it is all possible and allowed;).
I'm no expert but trained some japanese jujitsu. About the wrist lock throw stuff, what I know for having tested it, is that people won't be thrown away like in the video but, if the wrist has been locked, he has no choice but to follow you. If not, the wrist is gone... In demos, the partner follows by being thrown away because it's the easiest way to avoid the wrist to be broken with such a speed...and it looks better too :p
I know from firsthand experience that Krav Maga works because I had a gun pulled on me by a drug addict. I also trained under Roy Elghanayan (the guy in the last video), and the techniques he demonstrated are only for show. Also, Roy is a high-ranked black belt in Jujitsu, so he incorporates Jujitsu techniques in his demonstrations to be fancy. But he does not teach this way in his classes. Krav Maga fundamentally teaches how to defend yourself and neutralize the threat as fast and brutally as possible. Like every other martial art, Krav Maga has its flaws, and I would recommend anyone to cross-train in a fighting sport, i.e., MMA, Boxing, Muay Thai/Kickboxing, to get that constant pressure testing from sparring that Krav Maga lacks.
I did krav maga for 2 years. The problem is you cant really pressure test krav, like you can with boxing, muay thai or BJJ. I found out the hard way that it's really not that effective.
I think one thing Krav Maga teaches you well is the fact that it encourages you to quickly deliver strikes and get out of the scene, but in terms of martial arts it’s enough for a surprise strike but not good for a proper sparring under any specific martial art rules in the ring. My boxing coach tells me all the time that my punching skill is way too mixed he has to fix me with lots of effort.
And for street fight palm strike is the safest option, finger knifing is a terrible idea😂
Krav Maga is NOT a martial art. It is a combative system. It is not like karate, muay thai or, taekwondo. There is not supposed to be an exchange of strikes, between opponents. It is supposed to be more one-sided - neutralising an assailant as quickly and as effectively as possible. Krav Maga is a combative for reality based scenarios, whether in war or 'on the street'.
I practice krav maga and that's not true
while the aim is to give you the upper hand and end the fight as quickly and effectively as possible, krav maga does include exchange of strikes.
i've been taught moves from: karate, muay thai, jiu jitsu, boxing.
@@OriHarti practice krav too. We spar hard every session. It's like mma but going hard all the time and some weapon based sparring.
@@ZonbiNinja-w2c I do the same except I spar hard once a month.
Except it’s bs go train a real art
@Brd876 For street defense it depends on which branch you're training: civilian or military.
Civilian is like muay thai but there's also grappling.
Military is obviously, designed for the military and will help less in the street but will still teach you how to throw punches and kicks.
It's not about the art, it's about the artist
I used to do Krav Maga and my main issue with it is that theres a fair lack of pressure testing. Theres a lot of mannequin training (doing techniques on non resisting opponents) and because the sparring has rules its basically just kickboxing and/or MMA sparring
I mean, you can only reasonably approximate a real self-defense situation so closely before you start to have the same risks too. Best you can do is select sparring rules to keep it as real as possible while eliminating most of the risk of injuries, while also trying to familiarize students with things that are effective, but too dangerous to allow in regular sparring.
@justinthompson6364 My more main issue is the mannequin training, like no guy is gonna stand there while you disarm him and pop off a crazy combo
@@samwisegamgee7296 Oh, definitely. If there's any place for mannequin training it's very niche. Disarms and combos should tested against resistant opponents.
It’s not an art, it’s more a self defence program
I’ve done Krav for over a year and I’m switching to a combo of bjj and kick-boxing, it’s just that we don’t do much sparring so you really just can’t have true experience
bad school there, man
@@thac0twenty377 yeah, it was, but Krav is infamous for not having enough sparring/competition so you can’t really just write it off as one bad gym
@@hellooooo880 not one. it's one of those "you'll be unstoppable" bs things. the no sparring is pretty endemic. good schools are rare
In my gym we sparred in every Session with mouth piece, head protection and groin protection, after warm up and shadow training ofc. We also used the puppets or like the “juggernaut” outfit on someone to really let it all out 😂😂
finally someone who know about Krav Maga(I do Krav Maga) and it’s very real so it isn’t fake
As someone who only practices boxing, I can vouch that his program makes me kick higher
I'd say like many martial arts, it depends on the school and the student.
I have been doing Krav Maga for 3 years (age 11-14) and I cannot explain how helpful it’s all been. At the beginning I couldn’t fight for sh*t 💀 now however, I can have taken down fully grown adults (mostly family members/family friends when I have a fair spa and two of them being power lifters). Even in school if anyone had ever tried to start something I have de-escalated the situation in seconds. (Didn’t hurt any of them as I didn’t want to but I can take them down/ various grab defences). Also It is a mix of Aikido, Boxing, Judo, Karate, Wrestling, etc. Athough other martial arts are really really good and effective, I can also beat mates who have been training in different martial arts for the same time as me. One more thing, I have just seen Nat mention this, but yes, it is made to focus on simple but effective solutions to get out of the situations as quickly as possible and also to make sure the other person is seriously hurt (or at least making sure your attack is equal to what the other person is doing if that makes sence lmao)
Omg i just did a week of it and I really loved it, this is making me want to do it as a sport
@@Shveaygdjbffgcsj147 I’m so glad! Keep up the good work :D
@@av3ry_LIVEthx!
I have the same expirience as you tho i joined krav maga afte 8 years of doing karate(i started on age 3) and joined krav maga at the same age of you and im 15 now so im already 4 years in krav maga and can say its one of the most if not the most effective martial arts for the streets
There are some good and simple moves, but you can get all of that in Karate, Ju Jitsu, Muay Thai, Kickbox. In my opinion the problem with Krav Maga techniques, at least what I've seen on these videos, is there is no resistance from the enemy, not a single counter-action, which is highly unrealistic. Basically its like Aikido, where the enemy is patiently waiting until you're finishing your techniques, but that's highly unrealistic. Every single action move of yours will have a counter move.
I mean it's supposed to be a demonstration right? The problem with actually showing these kind of techniques full strenght and speed seems to me a 100% injury risk, just like in Aikido you have all these twists and pressure against ligaments and joints doesn't seen healthy at all...
Also you mentioned some martial arts but none of them actually gives you the street smartness Krav Maga does, concepts like environment knowledge, situational reading, crowd analysis, riot control and even criminal psychology are things you'll never hear about in a combat sports class because it's not their main objective... Now during self-defense training it's more like you to have contact with this kind of study and get deepen into concepts like that along with the combat drills if you go for a legit self-defense school, whatever martial art it is.
As someone who trained in Krav Maga, I was put in scenarios were the opponent had to use force. There was also some training were I had to walk down an alley once or twice and I was randomly attacked. I didn't know who would attack me or how. Despite all this, I still highly recommend Krav Maga, it's like a crash course on survival. A lot of these videos are for training purposes but when you actually train, there is more pressure and it is more intense.
Is not the moves. Is the application of specific principles to make KM different and practical.

I currently take krav maga but my instructor has 20 years experience with karate and puts some of his karate techniques in it but alot of people hate it because the practitioners who teach it suck not the martial art
I've just bought your flexibility programme, looks good, I'm going to get started right away. I've just recently started Taekwon-Do(ITF) at 41 so I've been looking for a dedicated stretching programme, I'm pleased to find something so appropriate for martial arts 🙂
I started martial arts looking for a Krav school and finding a karate teacher who also taught Krav Maga. I learned both karate and Krav Maga for a while, and I must say, while Krav certainly has some strengths as an art, it is also very lacking. It lacks good pressure testing, with most practice being done is non resistant drills. It does teach a good mindset for self defence, but I don’t think it has much value against a more focused fighting style, such as boxing or BJJ. It’s good for an average bum that doesn’t know how to fight in whatever field you are fighting in, but it lacks any speciality. I also find it might be a bit delusional in certain places, as it advocates an incredible amount of knife and gun disarms, which, to be frank, aren’t going to work against a real opponent. I personally find karate to be a better art for me, but Krav taught me some good things about physical aggressiveness whilst fighting (going on the offensive with simple techniques to finish a fight as soon as possible for example). I would say that as a whole, the art is effective, but only against people that aren’t very experienced or good at fighting. And especially not against people with weapons.
Actully we do practice with pressure in krav maga, if we dont respond as we should we are just gonna get hit. Maybe with your teacher it was diffrent but i had 4 teachers and all of them taught me the same. Ofcurse disarming a gun or a knife its hard and the first thing they teach is that if ypur opponent has a weapon you are gonna get injured 99% but their teaching you how to get injured less and even maybe injure your opponent more. And if you put a krav maga fighter and karate or boxing fighter vs somone with a knife the krav maga fighter will have more chance to survive than the others. Ofcurse every thing i just said is depented on the fighter.
And i was in karate for 8 years so i have some expirience
As someone who does KravMaga I can tell you it heavely depends on your school. Some are utter bullshit. Good KravMaga coaches mix it up with different things (wrestling, Muay Thai, stick fighting, MMA, etc.) it defenetly works on everyone that is u trained but depending on your school you might have troubles learning to fight another fighter....
I have an amazing coach who mixes it up with other styles
You have a good point there but just bare in mind when it comes to fighting another fighter you will struggle with any martial art you learn it all comes down to who is a better practitioner
@@thomo2127 that's true of course. And to be fair if a KravMaga fighter notices he has no Charnce he will run away. Not to mention if there is a chance to escape, every KravMaga Practionar that follows the rules of the art will run away
@@Weri_hd 100% I'm a krav maga practitioner and one thing that we always get taught is success is never guaranteed and if running away is an option is to always go for it martial arts don't make you invincible unless your jon jones ahah
@@thomo2127 Not Even Jon Jones could stand against two people. What is he gonna do? Armbar one of them and then get his head kicked in by the other one? No one is invincible
@@Weri_hd relax bro I'm only joking 😅
This is personally why I think Krav has a bad reputation. Some is complete bullshido while some is the real deal. I personally have an amazing one that offers kickboxing and more and I am getting green belt very soon. (I also know a bit of blue and brown) Also some of the moves are done really fast Natt, so some of them look unrealistic, but believe me they work. I have been on the receiving end by my coach sometimes lol
Many krav maga school are based on the fact that you have time and reflexes to think, chose and execute a predetermined moveset in time to defend yourself, but we know that in reality it's almost impossible to do that. One serious krav maga teacher I know here on youtube always tells his students that what he teaches is not guaranteed to work 100%(you must try to defend yourself but keep in mind life is unfair and you may or may not succeed). He also minimized the moveset to make it broader, so you won't have to think "it's a right punch so I defend with the right punch counter technique", but you can apply the tecnique for differnt attacks and you train to do it faster and faster
If you can't think fast on fighting situations; ring/octagon or street you can't really fight doesn't matter krav maga or any other combat systems or martial arts
@@gonenkitaroo1772 thinking and reacting fast is a skill you can train, but we are still human and we hava several human limits, including processing and reaction time
what is his name? i want to visit his channel,
@@ashura-w8e it's an italian channel tho. It's @ManuelSpadacciniKMA
When someone pushing with 2 hands usually goes on the chest line , if you see it coming in time you can slap the arms apart from inside so the force get directed off you and they lose balance and fall forward towards you. Because your arms inside your attacker you can strike body and face (inside fighting)
If you can't avoid the push, as you step back, use the rear leg to stop and launch yourself forward like sprinters at start.
Most of the time you will have no time to step away like in the demonstration, because you don't know what happens before hand.
I found the channel from the boy who is always with John Gardiner 🥋👀.
Btw new subscriber 👋🏻👋🏻
Krav Maga will not be useful in the arena because its moves are illegal (hits to the groin, throat, eyes and all kinds of other sensitive places) but in a street fight it is one of the most effective and why? Because it is built for the military, then the art is specialized against weapons and against dangers in the fastest way possible. And the principle of Krav Maga is not the first thing to run away if possible because if it comes to a situation where your opponent has a weapon then 99% you will get injured and the whole goal of Krav Maga is that you get injured as little as possible, and the guy with the green shirt doesnt do krav maga
Krav maga can be effective, it only depends on your instructor and the way he teaches you.
Like every other MA
@@Fegma1234 it’s true but especially in KM because its purpose is to defend yourself in a street fight so there are tone of bullshit techniques that some instructors teach to their students
Or she lmao
Hi Nat love your vids keep up the grind
Thanks Leo will do💪
I learnt Krav Maga for about 10 months under one of the IKMF affiliated schools. Quit it recently a month or two ago. Some of the techniques do work like getting out of chokeholds and headlocks if you pressure test it enough, however the striking was lackluster to say the least. The kicking and punching is basically the same as any kickboxing MMA style, they have elbows and knees as well. My biggest issue is that the amount of sparring was very less. In total of the 10 months I learnt it, we only properly sparred only about 10-12 times. I feel like I've gotten what I wanted out of it, now I'll go join Muay Thai or proper MMA.
I had exeatly the same experience, like we are living the same life.
Our Krav Maga program doesn't have sparring for its beginning class, but one get promoted to the intermediate level and start taking the intermediate class. You spar almost every session. Most people get promoted within a year.
It was made by the Israeli defense force, made for the fit and trained men in the force. Not this easy, use against people bigger and stronger than you martial art
raymondbishop6454@ are you dumb? krav maga is literly made to counter bigger ppl with grapling and ground work and to get out of the attacks and counter your just so stupid cause krav maga is literly the key of self defense and i was in a spar against someone way bigger and i got out of literly every lock with ez cause its just effective and straghit on point your so dumb fr
Can you talk about Karate takedowns or techniques we don't usually see on the martial art?
Nice video, bro
Kara maga is a military defence system designed by Israel if u run out of ammo or ur gun gets damaged and for whatever reason ur knife is missing they teach u not run because when the enemy has weapons like that running is generally dangerous u will get shot in the back it teaches u a lack of fear which might help u counter the situation with enoug aggression it’s absolutely useless in street defence unless the person is truly had some experience with it other than theory as they don’t have sparring or there is no likely situation we’re u can use it well andnotgoto jail so most people are terrible not something to learn in my opinion
Finally. A non biased comment. Thank you For saying the truth ffs. I dont know Why ppl find it this hard to understand. Bless you Man.
Hi Nat I was wondering if you ever met John Townsley unfortunately he has pass away a few years back my husband and I trained with him back in 1980 through 1990's love your technique and the way you tech everyone keep up the awesome work👍
Developed by the Israeli military. It’s deadly, painful & is considered to be the most effective in real-world scenario street fights.
🤣😆
Of course because their trying to take Palestine anyways that's not working in a real fight
@qoyha it was developed against antisemites in Czechislovakia on the dawn of WW2. I'm not sure how much Imi, the founder, was associated with the military back then
Actually, it was created by a Hungarian guy, named Imre Lichtenfeld, who then taught it to the Israelis after he moved to Israel. But it's not an Israeli invention. He developed all these things back in the 1930s, when he was a boxer in Hungary. But as a Hungarian, I would say its not as effective as it is advertised, but its a bit overrated, as many techniques seem to be like against a static enemy, not a dynamic enemy, which how fights actually goes in the reality.
@@qoyha dont like to talk about politics in videos like this but if they wanted to take over palestine they wouldve long ago before thiss entire war
Can you do one of these for Japanese Ju Jitsu? It's a complete combat system with strikes, throws, grappling and joint manipulation/locks used for self defense in real life scenarios, I'd like to see what you think of it
In the knife defence video the defence is not a throw, it is a wrist break but then opponent goes with it to allow for a fast, powerful defence, at least it is in Hapkido. It may be different in KM, but I doubt it.
Since Krav Magais not an actual martial art but more a bunch of generic "rule" to adopt during a self defence situation
The difference is made from the instructor and which martial art he/she decide to teach and how
Please make Close Captions Nat, my English is not good. Thanks
Another video from my favourite TH-camr big up
Thank you I appreciate that👊
No matter what you train or what you do, the art’s effectiveness depends entirely on you. How well you train, sparring, technique, etc. your strength, speed, IQ, and training vs someone else’s. That’s it man. Krav Maga taught by military officers and used in the field is obviously more effective than a random dude in a warehouse teaching people who never use it vs competing trained fighters of any sport.
you are also not punching the throat or the face with your fingers, youre puting them into their eye socket...i trained to do this, i can punch through walls with my fingers like that.
skull is yes harder than a wall, but i can also put my fingers through drywall...putting that in the throat or eye does damage, trust me, i know, dudes kneck was messed up for weeks.
Can we maybe see a video about Judo? I feel like BJJ is taking its place XD.
Nice vid btw.
Krav maga practitioner here Ive been watching your vids for a while now I can see that both karate and krav maga have a mcdojo problem good krav maga gyms are hard to come by under and idf affiliated gym you're learning the same from israel very useful for self defence very illegal from a competition stand point
Ive been doing krav for 6 years and in my opinion, it works well in different scenarios. I think the problem is that without training it, and just watching these “instructional videos” gives people a bad interpretation of it, because like with karate, there are many mcdojos that don’t teach it properly. Even i agree after doing km for a while that these videos suck and i think this is why krav has a bad rap now.
okay, just so you know, that disarm was not a throw or a toss.
you roll with the manuver so the person doing it, can practice it in real world context, without snapping your training partners arm.
does that make sense? essentially, what they are doing, is spinning the arm beyond which it is meant to, and snapping it like a twig.
another example, is twisting the stem out of an apple....or, twisting the wing off of a chicken....
trust me, if i did that to you, you would be in the hospital and not training for six months, as your arm would be shattered.
you know in BJJ how they tap, because they are submissions.
you cannot tap from this, it is not a submission, its essentially bending somebodys fingers to the back of their hand and twisting.
or, hyper extending a knee with a teep kick.
these arent submissions, its just a move designed to literally dismember your opponent.
They literally use it in Israeli Defense Force and US military. It's to give you enough time to make distance to escape or draw a weapon.
I’m currently take both taekwondo and Krav Maga. Krav in my opinion is more useful on the street than taekwondo is.
10:20 "yiu think im just gon a stand there and let you kill me jon?"
I used to do krav, my instructor also taught boxing and arnis so we did a lot of different striking and wrestling stuff. One time we got markers and old shirts to play knife duel and defense.
That’s the one good thing about KM the ground knife disarms and marker testing
I train Krav Maga like 2 years its pretty good for a kid
the idea of krav maga is to neutralize the opponent not kill him thats why he was holding his head while he was falling krav maga can also be used with weapons like knifes etc
True story, a wealthy Jewish guy in Los Angeles bought a massively expensive watch and advertised the fact on social media. Two street hoods who'd been following him on social media turned up at a restaurant where he was dining, one of them with a gun. The Jewish guy defeated them easily using krav maga, although an innocent bystander was hit in the leg when the gun went off. Actress Joan Collins was dining at the same restaurant and witnessed the whole thing.

@Lord-Dovahkiin Thank you very much. I am a little bit flexible already since I have trained in goju ryu for a year and a half, but I just want to make sure that my kicks are the best that they can be.
Got it myself a few weeks ago. Def improved already, my splits are getting there.

Thank you bro👊

I saw a lot of teachers in the comments , but I am just a student with a yellow belt... I compare Krav Maga a lot to Star Wars Forms , you have 7 forms (karate etc. ) which to me are like dance and death when you look at it and visually it looks good and it works... Then you have a style that borrows the easy stuff and makes it into a quickie... Krav Maga looks almost illegal to those who do Martial Arts (which is kind of true, no rules) because you commonly see leg kicks, toes to the eyes etc. It's all about defending yourself and stopping the attacker from getting up and attacking, so yes, there will be a broken nose, but it will live... The attacker will not come out alive if they attack with a knife, gun etc. Here we will determine mainly the definition of wounding, disarming and subsequent mercylessness, when is it more likely that the mercilessness.... This can happen within , I wouldn't be afraid to say 5 seconds at most , whether the knife is under the neck , attacking from the side , aiming at the body from medium range or from behind... It is certainly effective , just not in the arena where you have rules. Krav Maga can be used against poles, drunks... But as others have pointed out here, a lot of it comes down to the coach and their experience, I have a great one who knows what he's doing and doesn't want any complicated stuff. Krav Maga seems to me a bit like a preparation for other martial arts, it's all about being able to defend yourself in the shortest possible time and, most importantly, anyone can do it, whether you're 8 years old or 50. After all, it's for the Army, which speaks for its quality, doesn't it?
I had to read this 50 times
Especially MMA where they're penalised for maintaining distance LOL. had an argument in the comments not too long ago with someone about it
Ive done mma but krav maga in weapons training hand to hand combat it's a different story.. .In real krav maga it will end in secs death even
pls react to cobra kai Kwons fight scenes.
He's my favourite character
Krav Maga an Israeli self-defense system developed for the Israel Defense Forces, it’s a blend of Boxing, Wrestling, Aikido, Judo and Karate but with weapon disarming techniques and its known for its focus in real-life scenarios, It’s a good to be used on the street like BJJ 🫣
ohh so thats why the name sounded like it was in hebrew
you mean for zionists terrorists

The C hand? Is taught in krav as one of the basics. That heel of thumb slap to just below the tmj in front of the ear, or the outside edge of the palm just under the ear right on the side of the nape of the neck.. not a straight finger poke into the throat, rather the strike entails you close your fingers as your wrist reaches its apex to make the acceleration faster.
I will edit this comment once my mother, who teaches krav professionally has seen it and tell you what she says. Love your content by the way!
Nice haha, let me know what she thinks👊
I did Krav Maga for a couple of years when I was, like, 8, so my experience and memory is very much NOT the standard for that art. I personally find it pretty good for self defense, but I understand people who are more focused on competition who might not like Krav
The live demo was obviously scripted for demonstration purposes
i think this lad was fair 100 percent
8:16 This looks good, very powerful 💪💪 but it's hard 😩😩💨💨
If you’re learning Krav as a citizen, ur a fool, it’s a military martial art, made for military situations, not for the streets
no man u r the fool here
It's made for the streets as well but mostly for self defense not for mma fight
Actually it's totally made for the streets... Where did you even took this conclusion from?
Krav was made for the "streets" of Bratislava in 1938 for Jews against anti-semites (mostly Nazis). I'm pretty sure it's for the streets.
@@adoge1175no it was designed for israeli Spies. Since they couldnt sneak Guns. They Had to Get a little creative with the weapons god gave em.
Krav Maga might work, but it's very laborious
😩😩💨
you should react to a martial art named Silat.
I heard its good for street fighting.
Krav maga absolutely works but it has glaring holes, and some of its defences are silly or overcomplicated.
Asking "does Krav maga work?" is like asking "Does karate work?" What style of karate? Who is doing it? In which situation? Watching a couple of beginners doing it is hardly a fair test.
The massive flaw in Krav Maga is that it's unapologetically, relentlessly commercial. It can also be dangerously inflexible in its defences. The fact that it had at least one major break away should tell you something.
Yeah that’s a fair point👍
most of retired former CIA officers, they always recommend people to learn Krav Maga.
Every one has a plan until hit in the face ya nar
second can't wait to see this video!
🤝🤝
And does it work? question has to be met with...Work when done by whom?
The same goes for any martial art.
This is the only right answer for every "does x martial art works?" or "Is x martial art better than y martial art?" type questions.
i was actually hear to recommend him to a video on a krav maga style move...
essentially, gran somebody by the ear, maybe not all fighters have good grip strength, but worth it...
trust me, there isnt anything viable you are doing without getting your ear ripped off.
i got jumped by 3 people, im well trained, but they hit me when my back was turned.
had one by the throat, other by the ear. and one bouncing my head off the ground like a basketball with his foot.
i won that fight. mainly because i wouldnt let go till the dude stopped stomping me.
dad taught me to make sure you see the fear of god in their eyes before you are done with them, and i did.
but seriously, do a video where somebody grabs you by the ear. see what, if anything, you can do about it.
What about Kyokushinkai?
What about it?
@@nathearn Yes
Please make some video about hapkido.
You know it is like krav maga but also it is a way of fight and has too many mental benefits too.
well you've made a mistake by comparing krav maga to martial arts because it is not a Martial art. not is it a sport. it's pure self defense created in the 30's by a street man for street use
you sir are a professor!
Long videos by nat 🗿🗿

Isreali Defense Force trains in it. It must work. Highly doubtful that they are wasting time training their soliders with it if it doesn't.
the IDF shoot at civilians, they never go into hand-to-hand close combat
@@L4RSENIK ur civilians are armed with rpgs and ak i assume
@@thebaguetteoven2441 the IDF also assume it because they need a reason to fullfill their diapers. Average RN voter i see 😂😂 retourne sur warthunder et oublie la geopolitique, c'est plus de ton niveau
@L4RSENIK lol I serve in the IDF for 4 years as infantry never in my life i shot a so called "civilian" 🤣 only time I did they were charging me with a knife or with a handgun while screaming Allah akbar now tell me they r innocent 😂 ur brain is so washed by the media.
