Introduction to Krav Maga - White Belt Class #1 (Stance & Palm Strike) 

"Distanced Learning Program" this man was ahead of the times

I trained in Krav in Las Vegas with the famous Donavin Britt, we were taught to avoid fighting at all cost, if you can’t do that, then end the fight as quickly as possible. A lot of guys studying different disciplines don’t consider Krav a martial art and I would agree, there’s nothing “artistic” about it, it’s brutally effective.

If you want to provoke them do that stance but with both middle fingers up

She's a quick learner and certainly got a natural talent for this discipline. Overall, good video. Thanks for posting.

This guy is a great teacher. Excellent explinations and attention to detail. Wish he was my instructor

Fantastic explanations. Really appreciate the way you break down the moves with simple, clear instructions. You're a great instructor.. Didn't think to protect my jaw when striking so thank you. I just singed up at a local gym in town but I like the additional teaching/learning so going to be signing up for your university. The private lessons are 100$ an hour and this is much more affordable and convenient.

Just started taking Krav Maga training and these videos supplement what I learn. I watch them before and after each session to get more perspective. Great videos.

I like the concept of striking with the palm of the hand, instead of making a fist.

I have been studying Krav Maga For almost 3 months now this so awesomeThese videos definitely help me practice at home

Decent video, but it would be better if he said "All that good stuff" more often.

I used to take Krav Maga classes in Middle school so now I’m getting back into it

This video singlehandledly made my high 5 broke my opponent's jaw.

“All that good stuff”

She is doing good. Just needs to remember to protect her jaw and not leave it so open. Really enjoyed this video. First time I ran across them.

I'm 11 and I have my first class tomorrow I'm super exited Update:I never realized how many replies I got to this comment I made this when I was 11 and didnt even know anyone saw it I'm 13 now and havent done it in a year due to covid because of covid we couldnt do it and they were still charging my dad and its expensive especially to not even get anything out of it. I currently do soccer and am in a program in young marines and soon to be in civil air patrol. Thank u for all the support in my replies tho if I saw all those when I was 11 I probably would have put even more effort into it. I might start doing some sort of martial arts again if I do I'll go back to doing krav or maybe takewondo Update once again: I'm no longer in Young Marines but I'm in CAP. And I'm might be joining taekwondo cuz like 3 of my friends in cap also do taekwondo (one just got his blackbelt) so I might be in that soon

Finally someone on RU-vid who knows what they're talking about!!

I'm doing krav maga and my sensei told me that I should do practice in my home so this video is the best for me well done!¡!¡!¡

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE LESSONS I HOPE TO CONTINUE!!:))

I am trying to learn kraw maga at home cause I have my exam next year so can't go somewhere else and I think this video is really good.Also I think these punching techniques are really same to the boxing techniques. Thank you ❤️

Great video and performance by both of you!

i really do enjoy the way you teach, and you humor.

You're a good instructor.

Thanks for the clear instructions.

Krav is an excellent starter system . It’s excellent for older folks and it works . It’s kind of like a modern karate

This is awesome. I would love to see a lot more videos of Krav Maga for each belt from Yellow to Black belt. Plus self-defense, weapons, etc. I did see some videos for Orange belt which is cool.

Such a decent video with rich knowledge and skills.❤❤❤loved this

Already do 100 sets of stance each right and left. Hope i can do it every morning.

Dude this is amazing

Great training i like krav maga

It's crazy to see basics of Krav Maga are what I without having knowledge of this had incorporated because of experience. This demonstrates the effectiveness of this MA.

Can I use this on a grizzly bear next time I’m in Alaska

Thanks for your inspiring and informative video 👍 👌

I also used to hold my stance duck footed like jeet kune do, but I like the stance. It reminds me the book of five rings, "make your combat stance, your every day stance." So if you are walking, you are in krav maga stance.

Yes, "Taken" used this technique

Michael it would be nice if you show the movements for more times instead to ask the lady to do it. I want to see you doing the movement because you do it right.

I rhink i will start doing this guys training love it alot

These techniques are very helpful

Great instructions!

I like how he says "all that good stuff" a lot

Im duck footed and this makes me feel so much better

Love the nitpicky back-and-forth in the comments over whether or not Krav Maga is a "martial art." Every fighting technique, from basic hand-to-hand combat to the application of advanced weaponry to strike at an enemy is technically a martial art, in that it is a methodology applicable to the waging of war/conflict. Sun Tzu didn't title his definitive work "The Activity of War". The argument that Krav Maga isn't a martial art is based on the fundamental misunderstanding of the word "art" in this application. It comes from folks who are so focused on the wrong definition of that word (it has more than one, you know), and who are so obsessed with things like styles, belts, etc., that they've almost completely forgotten the operative word in the phrase - "martial."

Awesome skill

Good instructor!

"so we can get a great look at those shoulders" @21:00

This definitely was payback for my school bully he never comes to me again for the risk of his face bleeding now I'm known as the guy to stay away from at school - Thanks!

This is so awsome...now I can learn Krav Maga. Thanks Guys

"Ok just bend your knees slightly." Proceeds to drop it like it's hot.

I really enjoy the video. I learn somting

Wow fantastic buddy ☺️😄

Thanks for all that good stuff.

Well explained! Thanks for sharing ! I

I've had my jaw broken from a punch and it stunned me but it just felt like my teeth got knocked out. I think shots to the temple that just "glance off" 11:06 are actually much more effective (or dangerous) in the street. bc while I wasnt knocked out I saw 2 or 3 other people who were.

Thank you! 👍🏼

All of these movements have always come very naturally too me without really trying

Great pace

Excellent stuff! Nice attention to detail on the rear foot position and the focus mit work; I've been doing this wrong for over 20 years :-(

It was really helpful

I took a few krav maga classes about 15 years ago.before it became a thing.6 months to be precise.i can always remember the instructor saying there is no belt system in krav maga.just come in ordinary clothes because it needs to be as realistic as possible.

all that good stuff

Thank you 🤗

2 stances in krav neutral or passive stance and your fighting stance , can’t forget to keep your back foot off the ground just a smidge with weight on the ball of the foot to allow for bursting. Good video

I can finally learn karate! Thank you.

La base de tout système de combats rapprocher. Bonne leçon. Merci

I’m in a Krav Maga class and I’m testing into level 2 tomorrow!!!

thank you

I have mastered the Palm Strike

I like it so much.

Man I wish you were my krav maga instructor / I haven't taken the course yet but I plan to. 😉

It is indeed powerful

Very good

Never use your fist in a street fight. Bruce lee

I like this a lot I think that it is nice thank you.

I am 4”11. Should I be striking higher or in alignment with my shoulders ? Cause if it’s a bigger attacker I’d be hitting the rib cage 🤔

Very nice

Great instruction. Where are you (palm striking)? I suggest the Forehead (between the eyes) is the best 1st distraction then proceed from there. Thank you for sharing your video.

Military friend sent me your videos, I'm greatful this great educational experience, thanks so much

I've fought a guy who used palm stikes yea he hit me a lot but it didnt hurt my fist on the other hand crushed his nose broke his jaw and fractured his cheekbone. I'm not worried about how my hands are gonna feel tomorrow. Proper punching technique will prevent you from hurting your wrists. If you have to bust a knuckle to one and done a mf to keep him from hurting you or anyone else I say its worth it

I want to learn as many martial arts as possible by the time I’m 25 so I’m trying to find which ones I like most

I just subscribed to your channel since the video was so useful. Where do you teach in person classes? I live in Raleigh Durham, NC on the east coast.

Yes.. very nice... very nice...

Thank you this actually help me to fight the people who bully me at school

hmm interesting what mike said about the backhand having more rotation

good explain i like

I'm a 14 year old girl who is really into bushcraft and self defense, just because a lot of times as a woman, I feel vulnerable, especially being so young, so this will help me, and I'm not going to be the one you'd want to mess with in the end, lmao

Holy crap, I just learned so much from level 1 lesson 1. I'm gonna kick someone's ass now.

I'm not a big believer in palm strikes. That would just piss somebody off. KM also uses elbo strikes. Those can be very effective.

ok let’s do this i’ll do my best

How can a person test without a training partner???

Krav is well spoke of. Where it sounds as there's civilian style, then combat style. I wush I could had done Krav.

The orthodox boxing stance with the back foot at an angle seems a lot better than all 10 toes facing forward for power, balance, and movement. Just my opinion. I do like the idea of using open hands for self defense to avoid injury.

lost a fight really badly and i was not able to defend myself and i dont want to ever lose like i did again so thanks for training me

starts at 2:17

How long should we do these exercises?

What’s your hands open like that should there be a slight curve in your fingers?

When a pad holder tries to hit my hands out of the air, or ‘meet me half way’ it’s time to get a new pad holder!

thx

"she might get an accidental eye gouge... which is fine" yep, definitely krav maga 😂

In Wing Chun? They use a chain punching but it can be used in different strike patterns ... like attacking the opponent center line or your center line but making fast multiple strikes to the pressure points or even clavicle. And the center line can be a fixed on almost any point just as in the triangle points.

Nice

She's a tough cookie! ;)
