Stop the muggings, learn krav maga!

I don’t think it’s really fair to make these comments unless you have participated in the training programs. And no it is not a get rich quick scheme it is all done through the official krav maga association, in fact the chief and highest ranked instructor in the world, Eyal Yanilov is coming to the UK to do some basic sessions, one in London and one in Glasgow, £25 for 4 hours if I remember correctly. It will cover the basics and give you and idea how it has been adapted for civilian use.

Oh please...its perfectly fair to make such comments....I very much doubt your trainer is even israeli, let alone has ever been involved in military training..

From the wiki..

The version of Krav Maga taught in civilian martial arts classes is more often a simplified version that emphasizes personal self-defense, and is likely to exclude the killing techniques taught to the military, or the holds and come-alongs taught to police forces; there are legal proscriptions in some countries which govern and constrain the teaching of hazardous or life-threatening techniques to civilians

What a strange night that must have been ArmyofHarmony!


I've read the website that was posted in the OP. What exactly makes a "thinking man's" martial art better than a self defense form? Thinking takes too long, even the quickest mind can't think quick enough. Most boxers/fighters/karate champions or whoever don't think, they've done the drills so many times that it's second nature, the pathways in their brains react instinctively. Not very scientifically explained but that's how it works.

You totally missed my point :)

Im not saying that thinking based things are better...I was disagreeing with a poster who said you would be able to analyse the situation and respond with appropriate force.
