This is Krav Maga 

Krav Maga is about lot more than just fighting. Many people think that self defence and street fighting are the same thing. They’re not. Krav Maga goes far deeper beyond simply no rules street fighting.

To all guys who are practicing Krav Maga: If someone pulls a knife against you, just run away. If its not possible, try to find something to defend yourself. Never try to disarm your oppenent when you got safer options!

I see a knife and I’ll show you my 2 thousand step kata 🏃‍♂️

For everyone that says there's no pressure testing in training: In my gym, we were literally conditioned to attack other students as robustly as possible and not simply comply to the technique. If someone didn't actually attack, but gave in willingly, which sometimes happened, our coach would remind him to actually try to resist the technique.

I was certified in Krav Maga in 2002 then moved onto the Haganah fighting system. But first trained Judo, Hapkido, muay thai in the Marine Corps and then Taekwondo to make a well rounded fighting system. Like I tell my students, never be cocky or arrogant, there’s always someone better. Only fight if I have no other alternatives. Stay humble everyone! 😌

Just tried it on my 5 year old, it works.

but its always hilarious to see the 'knife attack' where you actually never have that situation of attacker who stabs from above or wide...unreal set up

Excelente video amigo. Muchas Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde el Norte de México.

Took it up in Riverside MO Global self defense about a year. Excellent instructor Eric Sively. Had to put on standby account kid in college and 90$ a month adds up annually.

I'm Overlord rank in Tekken 7, I can handle any combat situation life throws at me.

0:54 Krav Maga is great when someone attacks you with a knife, and you have an automatic rifle in your hands...

This type of technique takes a lot from different styles adapting the things that are more practical and the easiest including weapons.

PSA: This is a flashy "sales" video for a "McDojo" martial art. - Krav Maga does not teach you to face and disengage another human in unarmed combat because it lacks sparring, "pressure testing" what you learned. -The success rate of defending a knife attack safely even by the most well trained is roughly 5%. -Aikido is not a martial art, it's a demonstration of one. -Self defence is a legal term not a system of combat conduct. - the vast majority of courses called "self defense" is nearly worthless. - Want to just have fun? Train whatever is fun to you. Want to defend yourself? Learn a combat sport (boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, judo, ju-jutsu, wrestling...etc). These are tips from a martial artist / combat sports practitioner who tried a lot of things for many years.

well put together sales video ,but there are so many easy to learn systems by alot of ex special forces instructors who don't show on video ,but if you look harder enough you will find

really awesome little demo!

The fact that they took techniques from traditional martial arts and developed them into a new and effective system is impressive.

Anyone who's been in Action with no this stuff works for real it's good as long as you practice and it works.👍

You walk differently when you know how to handle yourself too. Subconsciously, your body language reflects that sending the silent message, "DON'T F w me! Please and Thank You."

Seems very legit. Amazing 🤩

It works as long as they are letting demonstrate it

I have always been an advocate that if you're going to defend yourself then Defend Yourself. In any situation where you're being attacked there are no referees who are going to pull the other guy off you. There are no rules, always assume your attacker is out to kill you and won't stop until he dose so, then will spit on your corpes and do a little dance while laughing afterwards. I'm not saying kill or be killed but make sure your attacker is no longer capable if attacking you for the foreseeable future. Even if it means breaking bones or crippling him.

i was a Close Combat Instructor in The Corps and a U.S. Recon Marine vet. I also hold a black belt and brown belt in Okinawan Karate and Judo respectively and was taught by my Dad to box at a young age and boxed in Golden Gloves in H.S., finishing with a 24 - 4 amateur record. I have looked closely at Krav Maga; it was initially designed by the Israelis to teach to mostly untrained defense forces personnel to allow them a simple method of teaching martial hand to hand skills against multiple untrained aggressors to allow them to stay alive long enough to flee. Like all martial hand to hand teachings it can be effective given the right circumstances and the relative size/strength and proficiency of the two parties involved. In my opinion, the three top martial skills to learn in order are 1.) Boxing, 2.) Judo or Jujitsu and 3.) Weng Chung or Okinawan Karate.

Amazing Krav Maga, Ron

Nice, can't wait to start my first session tomorrow

You should make a RU-vid video of a full contact fight just to see a real scenario

When I wanna see their moves and the editor deliberately fast forwards every move

Salve Do Brasil, thanks for the content shared.

Very nice video 🙂👍

Esto es una belleza... De verdad es algo super útil en la vida

Watching this video IS my morning cup of coffee.

That's some good shit there respect from ireland 🇮🇪 👏

You will find very few videos that tell you the absolute basics of how to engage when it’s a question of fight or flight. These guys are experts and so they can identify their targets and hit them with precision. This takes years of knowledge and practice but seems so easy on the screen. Almost all strikes are to the head and upper body and therefore also look impressive. These exercises are for the Dojo, not for street emergencies. Hitting others in the face is definitely not recommended - these days there are always those with phone cameras and that sort of evidence if the police turn up will always go against you initially - although it’s a natural instinct when we give in to our emotions instead of keeping focused on the main aim and that is to injure your opponent correctly so as to then go to the next phase which is flight. Dropping someone to the floor and then going down with them is also a no-no in the street, the most unsuspected individuals could join in and speed of execution is your goal. Now, the most important thing to keep in mind is that someone with an injured leg can’t run. This must be your priority: neutralize the leg. One leg is enough and the advantage is that there are two of them, versus one head, so you can choose whichever side suits you best. When confronted raise the arms as if to offer surrender. This catches the opponent off guard, keeps your head protected and also acts as an upper body stabilizer for the kick. Don’t kick with your toes out in front, much the same as with the hand; fingers and toes break with relative ease, that’s why punching isn’t recommended and open palm strikes are, use the heel instead. A sideways motion catching and displacing the kneecap is ideal. If you miss, you’ll at least have made the leg double sideways and if not breaking something is at least extremely painful; a straight blow to the knee will make the opponent feel sick and if hard enough will have them out of the game for long enough for you to get away. Also, on camera, it doesn’t show you to be either an expert or willing to inflict purposeful injury, rather a clumsy, spur of the moment way out. Now start practising at home so your “clumsiness” is highly effective. Like the man said, the more you do it, the better at it you are.

I appreciate the preemptive and spherical dynamics of this type of self defense. Makes sense to me. I also appreciate how you still have the glimmering Light of Humanity in your eyes despite all that you've seen and done. You are a true Warrior, My Friend. I salute you!

I practice this form of combat And I can say this for sure This is not a martial arts. But art meant to hurt disable and cripple the opponent. It’s pretty effective for self defense 👍

That's how the strong survive but stand up and handle your own fade.

Looks intense.

Love krav maga, it's beautiful but experience and what I seen on the street is pure luck will get u out most of the time but great work guys looks awsome

The art itself relies heavily upon on the element of surprise

Merci est respect!

Amazing

Like all fighting styles, this looks great in promos where no one is fighting back

If I had a gun, I would never get close enough for you to hit me. A knife is a different story and even then I'd probably try to throw strike

You're welcome, Ron

Fun video!

I think Krav can be legit. However, you should know all aspects of fighting, not just stand up. I have a black belt in Kung Fu San Soo which is very similar to Krav Maga. I am also currently training in Kenpo & bjj. So knowing Krav Maga with other arts you can implement it where need be. My point is, the more you know and the more rounded you are, the better chance you have at defending yourself.

It’s like aikido, subject is “here’s my arm” and then stands still while krav maga guy goes to work, hilarious

I liked it very much

Super !!!

I want to see Krav maga vs. Russian systema

Not for me. I find the style of editting makes the video more flashy and attractive. When watching Bruce Lee we usually had to slow down the video but with KM it's editted in a way to speed it up to make it look more potent. The second thing when I watch Krav Maga it always starts off in a position that already has the attacker in his personal space. If a person finds themselves in this positions it's cause they messed up. Krav maga talks about kicks to the groin, eye gauging and other alternatives that isnt allowed in a mma scenario but I've never seen any KM school practise these defense drills. There is 3 reasons why I am not in favour of this.

Ron, do you have any instructors in the USVI?

Super film 👍👍👍

I do not understand all the closed fists punching In Krav Maga, how are you going to operate your weapon system with injured hands?

There is always a philosophy behind the martial art. In reality, you are just being trained how to defend yourself . All that matters is if the martial art adequately prepares you for the scenarios it trains you to handle. An evil or good person can learn the mechanics of martial arts. It is no different than learning how to shoot a gun.

very good 👍

🎉😊 👍 nice self defence skills

This is KM? Really? 🤔 How to die faster if someone attack u with a knife..

krav maga its like aikido, but wearing militarian suits?

C'est ce qu'on appelle du close combat, il n'y a pas de quoi se la péter, ça a toujours existé.

First thing Krav taught me is how to run away effectively. It's really about survival and fighting as a last resort - but doing it properly. Most people I've met who are Krav Maga "veterans" have not had to use their skills at all outside of competition/grading ceremonies. The occasional person has stories about the odd bar fight (my instructor even had CCTV footage of him narrowly escaping 4 drunk guys to show that when dealing with drunk people, you can really use their state of mind to your advantage). I learned pretty quickly that fighting is really really unpredictable, particularly when it comes to street fights. In my instructor's footage, one of the people threw their keys in his face and left him with a black eye; this is not something you can predict at all, and will totally alter the outcome of a street fight. The longer you spend in those situations, the exponentially more difficult it becomes to survive and get away without taking damage or having to deal with the very tricky criminal implications of defending yourself. The one thing which will get you into trouble more than anything else is EGO. Arrogance has no place in a street fight; don't assume you're more skilled than they are, just focus on surviving. If all they want is your money/phone/car keys, give it to them and get out of that situation safely. Your belongings are not worth your life.

"Krav Maga not a Martial Art"... yes it is. It fits the very definition of a martial art because it was developed by a military for self-defense applications! (and therefore also conforms to "martial" traditions.) This doesn't mean that it is any more or less effective. It has many of the same features of Okinawan karate and other defense oriented fighting styles. In fact, it looks like what the old Okinawan masters were teaching prior to karate being systematized in Japan in the 1920s. Anyways, great video. Thank you for sharing.

Any footage of a non compliant martial artist? Maybe an olympique judoka ? Or boxer? See how it really works ? Or happy too keep the myth going

Muito bom

Класс!!!!! Думаю что тем чем владеют спецподразделения не покажут!!!!!

Remélem mindenki tudja, hogy ezt a technikát is MAGYAR származású fejlesztette ki......A budapesti születésű Lichtenfeld Imre !

Say "Hello" to your Inner Warrior, People.

I like this video

Simple. Quick. Effective. Deadly. - We had an Israeli-trained K.M. instructor in the Hellenic Army some years ago. Shalom from Greece. 🇮🇱🌿🇬🇷

Súper

Ron is the tavor your rifle of choice or the m4?

Got to be of some use bearing in mind one of the most effective armies in the world have adopted it!

more hollywood choregraphy than real fight imo

imagine training in this for years just to get a headshoot by a sniper

Sorry to bust your party but KM is not as effective as practitioners and instructors make it out to be specially the knife fighting strategies and tactics. Before anyone hates on me for my comment. My comment is based on my own experiences from challenge matches I have personally issued at seminars and I was abruptly told to leave and I didn't get a refund either. To be specific I have only challenged their knife fighting tactics which will get you killed. In a nutshell, IF IT'S FLASHY, IT'S TRASHY! Feeding an instructor moves and reality are two entirely different ballgames.

The idea behind Krav Maga: you walk away, alive. Your aggressor... not so much. Battered ( if they Stop) Broken ( if broken bones stopped their aggressiveness) Dead ( well this isn't a compitition where awards are handed out)

This sport is interesting

respect for the effectiveness of Krav Maga, unfortunately no higher stats are taught it's just a system to injure or kill quickly. There is no personal development

Makes me want to lose weight & try it out

Is Krav Maga a recognised system, the reason I ask, is I have seen literally hundreds of videos and attended multiple classes, and no-one teaches it the same. It is as if they are all making it up, and just calling it Krav Maga for marketing reasons I am not saying what I have learnt does not work, just that it is different in every school, and has no set standard techniques,

Shalom Javerim!

the intro music is so familiar to me I wonder why ?🤔

So you learnt all this to target babies in nappies, little girls, preg wind ,old ppl - yh sounds like idf

Yes it works against little girls, kids, old men and weak women !!

Oh cool, you must’ve learned this from DUST!!!

I want to be trained by you. Salom

Cicalone: “è un Krav Mago” *scuola di botte* 😅😅

Krav Maga is simply another form of traditional jujitsu, albeit hyper-adrenalized with no level of mastery involved. It's a common person's self-defense method done in an overt way. It's just ok as with any other self-defense form. It works and can save your life. The problem with Krav training is the emphasis on hyper-vigilance bordering on paranoia and lack of gradation in the response to a threat. It's all or nothing and this shit can put people in jail for hurt people needlessly. Do yourselves a favour and find a different type of self-defense that stresses grappling (tho not that silly ass goofy BJJ which can also get you killed) with an instructor who will show you how to control someone with different levels of force. Krav Maga, as a fundamental self-defense philosophy, has no room for mastery. Only response. Helluva thing for something that really is nothing more than jujitsu with a little bit of wrestling thrown in.

L'efficacité absolue... Scotchant !!!

I kinda like Sam Colts answer to them all

Krav Maga seems to rely consistently on the other guys willingness to participate.

Nobody is attacing from up with the kinfe. What kind of BS is this?

WE PEOPLE OF KARACHI PAKISTAN WAIT FOR WHEN KARAV MAGA TRAINING CENTER OPEN HERE...I AM INTO IT

Serious street protection

Krav only works if you know the fundamentals of fighting first..

Weird how it's all "training" footage. You'd think with it being so popular you'd see actually street usage. Must be a coincidence maybe the literal hundreds of millions of cameras all around the world just happened to never catch it. It's definitely not because this shit is choreography and entirely ineffective.

Can you recommend realistic krav Maga classes in Brooklyn, New York?

My Orange belt test is coming up soon.

whatta joke
