Krav maga

[JadeDragon]

I wouldn't say Krav Maga is a waste but it is not my cup of tea. I prefer TMA. I like the more structured/traditional methods of teaching and learning. Not that the other arts don't have something of value to offer.

Yawn...

Knife and gun drills are useless. There is a possibility to disarm an attacker, but that would be a pure luck. Your best action is a fast kick to the groin. Whenever you had a confrontation and attacker puts his hand in a pocket, get close and kick to the groin.

Once the knife is in the hand you should look around for any object on the ground, like stones, or get your ass outta here.

Without this drills krav maga is a regular low class system

May be difficult to grasp the concept of self preservation with this mindset but then I'm not an unarmed VICTIM...

Go figure?

well i wouldent say that marines and Sf can't fight. its more that they dont want to fight and kill you they want to learn to fight without killing the person.

It has to be done fast. Hand in the pocket - kick to the groin. Hand behind the back - kick to the groin. Once the weapon is out, you put yourself into trouble.

By the way, it is not nessessary that you will look for stones, etc. It is just an option. You can also throw your watches into attacker just to win time

Well here we go then!!!

All the self defence and martial arts techniques and training in the world are now redundant because a kick to the groin is all you'll ever need to know!!

I would say you lose time doing that.

Nice.

Okay, seriously, can somebody tell me about the KMF and the Wingate's Institute in Israel?

So far, from what I've seen in my Krav Maga classes this semester, the art is legit. I am actually shocked at the similarities between Krav Maga and JKDC...it seems like Sigung Lee, Guro Dan Inosanto, and Imi Lichtenfeld and GM Haim Zut are all kindred spirits to some extent.

I was just thinking the same thing. I've spent countless training hours, and money studying to be an effective KM practitioner, and I could have learned all I needed to know from my little sister. " Are they a threat? KICK EM IN THE BALLS!! I'll just start teaching groin attack techniques. No use for any of that other redundant crap.
