This is very good, all those soccer mom schools need to be shamed for using the Kravmaga name. Those guys are showing the syllabus in a great way. Thank you guys. Keep up the great work.
Blue belt in BJJ is very similar to Krav blue belt. The striking aspects are similar to Muay Thai & MMA style. Combined makes for a deadly combination. I really like how they kept the mount escapes very basic and effective as the other escapes. As an art form, BJJ tends to have moves that become too extravagant for self defense purposes.
@@hannukoistinen5329 How does Kravs ground escapes measure up against BJJ’s? It took me forever to earn a blue belt (3 years) but that’s ok because my defense and escapes are very great now. I believe everyone should learn some BJJ, at least until Blue belt as you learn how to defend yourself. I have always been fascinated with Krav.

No había visto este video hasta hoy, me parece bastante por no decir muy buen instructor de Krav Maga este Sr. no sé su nombre, pero creo que chequearé más videos de él. Sus técnicas están bien definidas y muy bien ejecutadas y además las muestra desde diferentes ángulos para los espectadores con lo que me hace pensar que debe de ser un excelente instructor en su docencia. un saludo
Krav Maga World Wide and Krav Maga Alliance are the 2 best organ in the USA, I think. They are almost the same as the Alliance guy came from WW. Either one is good.
You seem to have a lot of ground work in your school for green belt. I'm taking my green next and we have very little jujutsu at our club till higher grades. Looks great. Please post more videos!! Thank you.
Wayne Griffin it depends on the organization. This is the the Krav Maga Alliance Curriculum. There is a bit more ground than that of others. Other than that it is very close to Krav Maga Worldwide. In a street fight, taking it to the ground is a bad idea. However, fights end up there often, even if you do your best to stay on your feet. It should always be our goal to get back up. Thanks for watching and offering your observations. Good luck on the test. We'll have the Blue Belt curriculum posted soon.
Will my KM WW ranking also transfer to KM Alliance since they are similar. I was a level 4 Green student but dropped out of WW about 18 months ago and may try the alliance instead.
David G. Yes, it should. The KMA curriculum is very close to Worldwide. Most of the differences that you will see is in the advanced techniques such as weapon defenses. KMA has a good good friendship with KMWW and many of the instructors cross train between affiliations.
Tasman Read good luck. When it comes down to it, submissions only play a small roll in our system. In my opinion, it’s more important to know them to be a good partner to work the defenses. Our objective should be to get up and away. Some times dislocating an arm or choking them out makes the process of getting off the ground much easier lol. Here is a video from my Jiu-Jitsu Professor on straight arm locks. It’s over a decade old but still on point. Definitely follow his channel for more ground tutorials: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5I6SNtejqe4.html
55dbau Imi Lichtenfeld, the founder of Krav Maga, grew up in his dad’s self defense gym in the early 20th century. They trained wrestling, boxing, and judo. This was quite an anomaly for the time. Mr. Lichtenfeld’s purpose for Krav Maga was to train people to defend themselves without getting hurt. It needed to be a system that was easy to learn, didn’t require a lot of athleticism, and needed to work against larger adversaries under stress. He utilized skills from many systems but integrated them in a way that created a full system that has a surprisingly low amount of techniques. It is the integration and simplicity that sold me on the system to begin with.
I did KRAV for 5 years and it was good stuff but its not enough. You really need Muay Thai and BJJ . I see KRAV as a starter system not the ultimate system.
Fall breaks. Pretty standard in most grappling arts like Jiujitsu and Judo (Ukemi in Japanese) as well. Learning to fall in a way that reduces bodily injury. You are taking the impact over a larger surface area while protecting the neck and absorbing some impact by slamming the forearms on impact. It also helps reduce the chances of landing on the elbows and wrists. Granted, this is normally necessary when being thrown or falling off of something . We practice it at this level solo to prepare to take throws at higher levels. It’s a valuable tool even outside of self defense. Falling off of a ladder for instance.
@@KravMagaDesoto Hard to believe someone teaches how to fall and absorb hits! But can you really prepare for unexpected falls in controlled environment?
@@Szszymon14 pretty much any talent is trained in a controlled environment. The key is to add stress and utilize it in sparring formats which allow for the unexpected moment. This is just an example of the mechanics of the technique itself. When I test students at this level I either yank a belt attached to their feet or they take a throw from a partner. For someone learning the technique it would be unsafe to learn it that way. I guess there’s the philosophy of “If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball.” The problem is if you injure yourself in training then you risk not being able to defend yourself if the times come. If you check out some of our videos you can see how we apply these techniques in drills and sparring.
