Krav Maga

I have had more fun (and felt more empowered) when training in krav maga classes than anything else. It can be hard to feel like a badass while throwing a knife hand block in the air during a kata (nothing against TKD or Karate, as I love it also); but this tough guy feeling comes up often when beating the snot out of pads krav-style. Krav Maga is a very simplified martial art. The overall premise is to do whatever it takes to save your life, be aggressive (proactive), and use your instinctive reactions. The goal of your Krav training should be to develop INSTINCTS. I really think that you can boil it all down to that. If you develop the instinct of automatically grabbing someone’s hand as they grab your hair, and thrust forward with strikes and knees that is an instinct. If someone puts you in a choke, and you immediately break free while adding combatives, this is an instinct. But, the truth is, in a fight or flight situation, your brain is not working, you cannot remember which move to do — you’ve gotta have instincts. Let’s get started, here are my top 4 tips for beginners in krav maga. The 5 Best Krav Maga Moves Knee Strike the Krav Maga knee strike against a preparation accomplice holding a strike cushion against his lower chest region. The measure of POWER even I could deliver made them jump and heaving for air a couple of times! I say "even I" since I'm not an extensive or solid individual, but rather I was as yet ready to hit him entirely hard. On the off chance that he didn't have the cushion, it would have harmed him severely, I'm certain.
