Some interesting points about the style is it is not a sport, and a lot of the people who do it never spar same like kick boxing or Muay Thai or so. In terms of striking it is lacking, badly. The strikes I have ALL seen are ALL weak. They never put power into it because they strike wrong, and would not hold up for shit in an actual ring. Lucky coz it is not a ring sport.
When you get over the words 'realism' you are better off learning MMA. This will teach you realistic street fighting with no fucking around and the trainers have the know how from competeing to know what a powerful strike is and is not.
Eye gouges and stuff arnt that hard, so saying KM is good because of it is dumb. Any fighter knows to strike the throat or eyes when in a street fight if he wants to kill, which most of the time you do not, anyway.
The only real thing it is good for is disarming a gun from someone. Or knife.
But if you are after a powerful style with effective take downs and strikes then go MMA, or a cross of Boxing, Muay Thai, Kick Boxing, so on, with Brazilian Jiu Jutsu.
Krav Maga is for Israelites who live in a world where there is 1 gun per every 2 people alive there.

I Find it hilarious that you say that the strikes are weak considering its a self defence for soldiers who put there lives on the line when they use it
Krav maga would not hold up in a ring.... LOL probably because they dont let they use it to compete in any form? hmm i wonder why
