Oorah!

Yep... Since my first post in this thread, my opinion has shifted a little. I now regard Krav Maga as being the singular best system of close-combat self-defense in the world currently. But truthfully, it's not the system: it's the training. I don't believe that any martial art is really superior to any other. It's all about the training.

What KM does different is make you fight fifteen people in a row for a mid-level student and then fight fifteen people at the same time for an advanced student. Other systems just don't do that. Well, the MCMAP does, I'm sure; likewise any military probably trains in this way. As far as consumer-end systems go, however, that kind of training is exceedingly rare.
