So I just started brazilian jiu jitsu and krav maga Haim Gidon system.. I feel like I need to focus on just 1for awhile and then later on do both...Any advice on which 1 to keep...My kids do BJJ also and my wife does krav maga...We plan on running a family academy in 12 years from now in BJJ/ Krav Maga.
It's definitely best to focus on just 1 martial art at a time until you've got a solid base in one (probably 12-18 months of consistent training). After you have a solid base in martial arts, you can begin cross-training. Which martial art is for you just depends on your goals you have in mind for what you're trying to accomplish and for what context you're training for. What are your goals associated with training? BTW, one of the huge benefits of the way we approach training in NKM is that we cross-train in a multidisciplinary systematic approach. Students are exposed to the necessary components of Krav Maga, BJJ, Muay Thai, Boxing, and Wrestling from the beginning in a unified curriculum.
@Nomadkravmaga Thanks for taking the time to respond...My goals are to get a black belt in BJJ and Krav maga...To loose weight, get in shape, keep my diabetes in check...Create a legacy for my kids and eventually run a family martial arts academy that was my 13 year old son's idea...My son and daughter did Judo on/ off for 4 years, now they do BJJ ...Me and wife do krav maga and I do BJJ...I take kids to world class BJJ seminars like Rigan machado and Marcelo Garcia and eventually will cross train at some of best BJJ schools like 10th planet, Marcelo Garcia gym in NYC etc.. My son also just started training wrestling at BJJ school and striking there... I'm confused to if I should do krav maga and supplement muay thai and let kids focus on BJJ and maybe later in 3 years ai start BJJ again or vice versa...I don't want to burn myself out , I'm 44 But only have about 10 - 13 years because than we would open a school, I'm not going to start a school at 70..I do need everyone help - my kids and wife to run a business...We all have passion for martial arts, including me when I did some karate as a young kid....My wife always wanted to help human trafficking- helping the girls in need...She is a social worker but it would be nice to teach / train girls to prevent rape and trafficking to a degree. I also use to be suicidal as a young kid / adult so it would be nice to help kids who are bullied or stressed out ...
@@samo2072 Wow those are some big goals, and you've got your work cut out for you! That's great though, because without big goals, great things never happen. Just search within yourself to decide which martial art best aligns with your goals and start with that one first. Of course Krav Maga will give you a good foundation in self-defense. It's highly dependent on how the school focuses on different aspects such as resistance-based training (sparring, rolling), and how realistically they train. With BJJ, you'll get good resistance training (rolling) regularly. So that develops some great skills. However, BJJ schools don't typically focus on striking, multiple opponents, weapons defenses, self-defense mindset, etc. So just go with your gut!
@Nomadkravmaga Lastly, what martial art if it was you would you start with?? Which one am I least likely to get badly injured- so I won't miss too much work and can pay my bills...That was my fear before but now im facing it head on...Would krav maga or BJJ give me a foundation to later add the other stuff on... Out of the 2 , I mean...Thanks if I'm ever in Vegas area , would love to get a daily training pass at your gym....
@@samo2072 We'd be happy to have you train with us. From an injury prevention perspective, BJJ is much more injury prone than Krav Maga, in my experience teaching people for many years. Krav Maga will give you a wide base of knowledge. But there are many many many bad schools who teach garbage in the Krav Maga world. BJJ schools are generally easier to find places that are teaching solid material. So it all depends on what schools are around you as to where I'd recommend. You'll need to do some research. Go to a couple places and try them out. Pick your favorite.
Growing up on a farm we always doubled up a couple feed sacks and filled them with old leaves sand and straw. We had them hanging all over the farm. And they can get really heavy really fast. Sometimes it would rake 2 guys to hold it up while the other tied it of from a barn rafter.
After a bare-knuckle boxing match, have you examined the hands and the x-rays of the hands of the competitors? Do you think they would be able to properly operate a weapon platform? Thank you in advance for your answer.
At 0:29 this reminds me of Ozark PD officer Trevor Spencer broke his hand punching a perp and blamed the perps bonny face, so he charged him with assault on a police officer for the broken hand. Google it you will see what I am talking about
Find the instances of all police officer involved uses of forces in which a police officer strikes a suspect with a closed fist. Now correlate that data with how many of those instances resulted in a broken fist.
@@Nomadkravmaga I know that Sargent Rory Miller sent 9 deputies to the hospital with broken hands from punching combative inmates. Sargent Rory Miller "Chiron Training".
The potential contexts in which this drill would train beneficial skills are too numerous to list, but just for you, here's one example: The defender is in close physical contact with an individual who becomes an imminent lethal threat. The defender draws in close retention and discharges rounds and retreats. The threat is not neutralized and is still an imminent lethal threat. The defender discharges more rounds into the threat to neutralize the threat. The defender, having neutralized the lethal threat, performs a deliberate reload in order to ensure that they are ready for potential additional threats.
@@rodvan-zeller6360 I can see you meant the punch to the face again. You do realize a straight punch is taught in all martial arts, combative systems, and virtually all systems of Krav Maga? If you find any other instances of straight punches in my other videos, please let me know. I'd be happy to discuss. Thank you.
Don't break your hand? To think that all instances of closed fist striking result in a broken hand is not true. Do you think that open hand striking is always the more effective option in self-defense? If you want to end a fight quickly, your odds of effective strike-based finishers is much higher with a closed fist. We also teach open palm striking. Both have their place.
@@rodvan-zeller6360 Do the same thing, but punch someone in the chin with your closed fist several times. Punch them in the nose several times with your closed fist. Punch them in the stomach several times with your closed fist. Your fist should be fine. Their face, nose, and stomach should not be fine. The face, nose, and stomach are not as hard as a coconut. I'll await your video. Make sure you get a signed waiver from your partner before filming that releases me from all liability, because they're going to get messed up. Thanks.
@@rodvan-zeller6360 We're reaching now I suppose? Were any of us wearing what you're describing, or even make any allusions that we're training for that context in this video?
There are pros and cons to throwing closed fist punches in self-defense. Do think that every person who throws a punch in a self-defense encounter will result in a broken hand? To mitigate the risk of breaking your hand with a closed-fist punch, aim with accuracy and hit the proper targets. Even under stress and the speed of a real-life fight - this can be accomplished with training. Why throw a closed-fist punch vs a palm strike? Because a fist will have much more knockout power and penetration to the core of their head or body. Give me 3 reasons you'd recommend a palm strike over of a fist. Let me know your thoughts in a comment and we'll keep this discussion going.
@@Nomadkravmaga Bring some coconuts have a training partner hold them for you, with one hand punch as hard as you can a few times with the other hand palm strike as hard as you can, video tape it and post it on the next video.

Hey brotha, idk if you’re still running this channel or what but idk what it would take to have you put up a training for footwork, kicks and strikes for beginners trying to personally pursue Muay Thai 😊
I've done this drill numerous times. You are gassed when done . I've also sparred with this dude and the video doesn't do his strikes justice, trust me they land with power. Hats off to all the students and instructors at Nomad Krav Maga.
Cool, I was looking for a short, intense workout on my new heavy bag. This is exactly what I was looking for... will be checking out your other videos too!
