Krav Maga has taken moves from many differant martial arts..
Strikes and block from Muay thai and karate throws from judo and dissarms and grappling fro jiu-jitsu
so i think its funny that you say the strikes are weak when they are Muay Thai and Karate strikes... also taking into account the strikes they took were the strikes designed to do the most damage..
KM prepares you for
REAL types of conflicts - so i dont know how you can say that youd just knee im in the chest, strike him in the jaw.. there trained to not let you do that.. and they dont just train on the assumption that theres only going to be 1 opponent, you train by following
ring rules and hoping that your opponent isnt going to hurt you - people that do KM train by thinking that you opponent is going to kill you, thats why you learn things like eye gouges, knees to groins and kicks to the face while your opponent is down.. because there is no rules
Krav maga is trained 4 hours a day minimum everyday - they must do this for 6 months before they are allowed into real combat, this routine doesnt stop tho unless of course there in battle... by calling these guys part time practitioners is showing YOUR lack of knowledge not mine... (real soldiers do more stuff with it like "specialised anti terrorist training") i dont know what that is.... i only do normal KM 2 - 4 times a week, and am thinking about taking Kyokushin up again
as for street fighting "Everyone knows, the chances of surviving a street fight for longer than 10 seconds without getting hit is very slim. I would not drag out on the street." wtf.... thats what KM is designed for and your saying it would be no good .. your retarded
krav maga
"is a real world killing art" to say that that some muay thai wannabe is gona come take down someone sufficient in KM is just stupid - your just a fanboy that doesnt listen to facts and whores himself out to muay thai because your ignorant and one minded
stop talking if you dont know anything about KM
