I have been asked many times about my worldview regarding Krav maga.
Krav Maga Similar to MMA requires dealing in multiple battle dimensions. Ability to fight standing, ability to wrestle and face the opponent on the ground.
Unlike MMA the Krav Maga requires an understanding of varying threat levels, requires an understanding of conflict management with and without physical intervention, requires an understanding of fighting in changing ground conditions and the ability to deal with weapons.
Krav Maga requires experience. The syllabus should be relevant to the local needs and threats, the age of the trainees, or their operational role. An operational combat instructor should come with real and relevant operational experience..
Krav Maga training requires massive practice of Striking , Wrestling and Grappling. sparing and rolling on a regular basis.and practicing stressful situations. To ensure that the trainee does not freeze as soon as he encounters a real threat.
Krav Maga training must be built according to protocols and not as a list of techniques. There must be a real understanding that a threat is something dynamic that can easily get complicated and become much more serious.
Practice must come first, in my personal perception different ranks, belts or degrees are irrelevant to the world of Krav Maga.
These are guidelines for my personal perception. According to this I shape the nature of learning in my organization.
Available for any question. Have a good day!
