Practice is the key to what Jason said. I read somewhere that Bruce Lee said he didn’t fear the guy who knew hundreds of moves, but the guy who knew a few moves and practiced them 10,000 times.
Thank you for sharing! God bless and stay safe!
Exactly .
I have been practicing falling on my butt after my wife slapped me most of my life. Bruce Lee would be proud of me.
Not moves. Lee's quote is about practicing one kick and mastering it...commiting it to muscle memory.
I do not hit. It hits all by itself.
Ip Man : you watch me with WingChun beating 10 black belt Karatekas❓
My nephew earned Krav Maga instructor credentials from the original Israeli program in a large East Coast city. This was before the sport trend came in. He always corrects people about the intent of the military training. It is unarmed COMBAT, not self defense. The idea was to put the enemy out of action (or dead) as quickly as possible, get a weapon, and get back into the fight.

@@Booz2020 As a Kung Fu practitioner, I'm wondering why you brought this up 🤣
@@digitalcamaro9708they seem to be spamming the same comment.
A fun fact:
I never practiced freeing myself from a standing headlock with anyone.
Ever, not even 1 time.
I just knew this technique from some self-defense books where I saw it many times.
Once, a guy in Vancouver grabbed me without a reason in a headlock, right on the street.
In a couple of seconds I freed myself successfully from this exactly like it was shown in the book.
I learned later this type of skill learning is called modeling or observational learning.
Most martial arts and or self-defense training revolves around observational learning. First you must be shown the technique, then corrections are added by the instructor.
A good system is the one that focuses and teaches more concepts and methods, than particular techniques. Once basic techniques are taught, then it's all a matter of teaching concept methods. That way the individual on its own can start coming up with his/her own solutions to a problem.
Stop saying "fun fact", ret@rd.
Jason is right on the money. The SAS in Australia and New Zealand use the Todd System based in Dunedin I'm. The system is evidence based eyes, throat, knees down a total of 4 blows. The blows are aimed at targets that have no fat,muscle and therefore do the most damage
Do they? How do you know that?
Thank you!
Can't see...can't fight.
Can't breathe...can't fight.
Can't walk...can't fight.
@@fezzparka that's the theory no muscle or fat on those parts of the body

Lets all finally get this right, its not the styles of fighting its the caliber of the person using it 💪👍💪
That's a separate discussion. The point here is whether learning Krav Maga on the short term or long term makes a difference, and whether it's worth learning at all. If someone needs a fast solution, then it's the way to go.
Hey dude,not criticizing your credentials,but real Krav Maga is meant to immediately immobilize you,something that was not meant to be taught in a dojo,or ranked by belts. Imi Lichtenfeld the founder meant this style for the Military.The original plate was meant for hand to hand combat,targets being the eyes,nose bone,throat,joints,nuts,sharp edge weapons up under the chin all this carried out by strong and swift combatants. Later it was watered down to bullshit disarming of weapons and knives etc,enter the good old dojo dollar. But in all fairness the understanding of the original plate can “I think” only be understood by men and women fighting for their lives.

@@Booz2020 lol u got it mate 👍
Here are my thoughts on each fighting system I've dabbled in (I am no expert like Jason, but these are my experiences and EACH one has been valuable in different ways):
Shotokan Karate:
My first martial art. Did it for a year as a teenager and earned Orange Belt. Karate takes time to learn. Also, you do not become an expert in any one type of attack range (Punch, Kick, Elbow/Knee and Ground), but you get exposure to it all. A boxer will be better than a Karate person in punching because they specialize in it, but the exposure to other ranges would still help a Karate practitioner survive. Karate is not about beating the snot out of your opponent, but finding the best way to escape a fight as soon as possible and to be adaptable. Shotokan was what I used to protect myself from bullies in school when I could not get away. Shotokan would later be valuable to me in both the military and as a Corrections Officer, especially the blocks. The discipline gained from Shotokan was how I was able to get through basic training instead of giving up.
MCMAP (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program):
Navy basic training did not have hand to hand training when I was in. So, as a Corpsman dealing with Marines, I had to learn MCMAP. They mix various techniques (Krav Maga is one of them). I did not find it particularly effective in a drawn out fight, but it is not meant for that. MCMAP is literally to give you tactics to get your weapon back into play. There are further levels of MCMAP, and their instructors are just as skilled as any black belt (many of them have black belts in other martial arts) but as a beginner getting what Marine Recruits would get, I would not rely on MCMAP for more than a few strikes.
Krav Maga: I did this for a month. Had to quit due to starting a career as a Corrections Officer and scheduling conflicts. Krav Maga is similar to MCMAP in that it is meant to end a fight quickly, not draw it out. Krav Maga would be my go to if I am confronted with a group of people and need to make a preemptive strike, stay aggressive and hope my aggression is enough to make the bad guys realize it is not worth it. Sadly I was not allowed to use most of what I learned from Krav Maga in a correctional setting unless there was a deadly threat.
Correctional Defensive Tactics: I worked for 2 different counties and a state prison. Each one taught different techniques. Correctional defensive tactics are geared towards compliance with policy. Often in corrections, you are only allowed to use the moves taught in THAT AGENCY'S program in most circumstances, but when facing a deadly threat you are allowed to do whatever it takes to survive. This is to protect you in court. These tactics are geared towards gaining compliance and surviving until backup arrives, not to stand up and be Chuck Norris. Also, the tactics are geared towards a confined area. I would not try to use these moves on the street where I am all alone, but in a correctional setting where backup is arriving, they get the job done.
I did the LINE system back in "the day" as a 0311. More deadly, but it was TOO deadly for pacification so they went to MCMAP with "ethos" and "compliance" type stuff. It's more watered down.
Krav instructor here. Spot on in this video!
Thank you so much! God bless!
I took Krav maga for 2 years. Loved it! Learned a lot of self defense skills especially the elbows. My son took tae kwon do for 2 years and got a black belt. All he learned was positions and stances.
What I am saying is not a knock on your son. I'm sure he earned his black belt. However, 2 years to earn Black Belt in Taekwondo is too early. I wonder about the instructors if they award black belt that fast, no matter the skill of the student. Taekwondo and Karate have enough similarities and typically follow similar timelines when it comes to earning black belt. In our Shotokan dojo, it took me one whole year to earn Orange belt, which was only the 3rd belt in our system. The absolute fastest I saw someone in our dojo go from White to 1st Dan was 3 years, and this girl was an absolute genius.
Ha! I was taking Tae Kwon Do until I tried a couple kicks in winter. Icy sidewalks.
That's great David! Thank you for sharing and God bless!
Took Krav Maga for years, still practice
There are those pay me and you get black belt schools. I studied with a Japanese instructor. He would actually dissuade people from becoming students if he felt they were not serious. 5 years to black belt if you were lucky. I studied from 1968, when I was 13, until 2016. Double hip replacement made it difficult since I moved in ways was no longer able to. There were periods of not training due to life circumstances but for most trained steady. Receiving 7th degree black belt. It’s not the style it’s more the instructor and students capabilities.
Thanks for the video and your take on Krav Maga.
I tried a little bit of traditional martial arts. My sense was that they wanted me to spend six months learning an absolutely perfect kick form. After I learned the form perfectly, I would learn how to add power a little at a time. Then, I would spend another six months learning the next kick or punch perfectly. There was no progression until one was absolutely perfect. If someone had attacked me two months after I started, I still wouldn't know when to throw that kick and wouldn't know how to throw the kick with power. As you said, after ten years, I could have become a very formidable fighter who would throw everything with perfect form and with power. My sense was always that I didn't know when I might need to act in self-defense, and waiting years and years to have even a little bit of effectiveness seemed silly. On top of that, I just didn't enjoy trying to perfect my movements. I just don't have that kind of coordination. My movements would never be perfect.
The other part of Krav Maga is that they say that the system was developed so that even civilians could be at least a little bit effective with a few months of training. They said that the system could be modified so that people who weren't in great shape would at least learn the principles and some moves. They would learn enough to fight decisively in a real situation and not to become paralyzed by wondering what to do next. Krav Maga teaches how to throw everything with power from the beginning.
If someone wants to become extremely proficient with Krav Maga, that person will need to spend years in perfecting each technique. In that sense, Krav Maga would revert to a regular martial art. However, the person who doesn't have the coordination to become perfect or anticipates needing to act in self-defense within the next five years instead of five to twenty years down the road will become more effective in a shorter time learning Krav Maga. I came to Krav Maga late in life and didn't spend much time taking Krav Maga. Other events in my life kept me from continuing. I wish I had been able to do more before my health failed.
Go carnivore and regain health, Dr Berry, UA-cam.
I always appreciate your content. Thank you!
My pleasure Lance! God bless you!
I have been doing krav weekly for 10 years now, black belt but still learning and tuning my techniques. Agree that you can learn the basics in two weeks, but you need that muscke memory and you need to remove those errors when doing the techniques to maximize your chance of walking away unharmed. You can only do that by staying humble, practice often and taking advice.
Agree 💯. It doesn't take a great deal of time to learn basis self defense at all. The real jewel in martial arts are the mental aspects. This DOES take time to master.
I agree that the mental aspect takes years to master. The physical aspects aren’t hard to learn, but you must be mentally tough and ready. If you are mentally unprepared, then the physical training won’t help much. It could but won’t be as effecient.
Great advice. Thank you.
After Aikido for about 8 years, the biggest thing is to stay in control, continue to think and most of all don’t become mad or defensive. Keep your head in the game.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing your insight!
First aikido comment I saw. I'm in such a dojo now and I agree, there's a huge emphasis on philosophy / mind-body unification weaved in with the physical practice. I feel like a Jedi sometimes.
It wasn't for me. I trained in BJJ and Wing Chun when I was younger for eight years. These days, I will try to deescalate the situation or walk/run away unless I am cornered and forced to fight. I continue to stretch, run and work out. But I'm not young anymore.
Well said! 👍
Nonsense. You can't deescalate something that is REAL. If you "deescalate" some thing.. it was never a real thing.
I had about 8 classes and realized it's really good at showing me that I can do anything I can think of to mess the other guy up. I liked it because you could improvise. The techniques they teach are really useful because a fight isn't made to be fair.

Krav Maga, is an excellent form of self defense. I am a great believer in many styles of self defense! Be prepared for the worst case scenario, and only use these tactics if your life is being threatened! Very good video Jason, thank you, hope you do more self defense videos!
Thank you for sharing Andrea! Stay safe and God bless!
The school I attend has changed over the 13 years (off and on) I've taken Krav Maga, a few different organizations, federations, the transition from the practioner, graduate master program to a judo style belt system, etc. Back in the day we focused on punches, kicks, elbows and weapon disarms and completely avoided the ground; ground is bad, get up and continue to fight. Now we embrace more jiu jitsu (no gi) since many fights end up on the ground and while painful, many locks and chokes don't cause as much trauma (with careful training) than full contact sparring.
Thanks for that absolutely riveting and decisive answer.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!

I am blessed. Trained in Krav Maga, russian Systema and Jujitsu. Loved Krav . Nothing more powerful than a trained mind under CONTROL.
Oh for goodness sake.
That's great! Thank you for sharing!
How often does a trained mind under CONTROL need to brag?
Wow wasted your time
In Israel Theres a good show called "human weapon" it shows and talks about krav maga and how some people have been training in different forms for many many years. So in the video it shows training from instructors that have been training for years. Also in many aspects too.
Only to stay fit and used when absolutely necessary
Finally and experienced guy on youtube who doesn't shit on krav maga/systema because he's a mma fanboy or a box fanatic. Thx, and totally agree with you about that 2 week course, I have a few cousins who enrolled in the police force and trained at the academy for 2 months in self defense tehniques and apprehending methods and the thing is they can reach mastery much faster than I do with martial arts and then they can train speed, precision and other abilities while I am taking it little by little. But then again, I had a demonstration with 2 of them recently, one-on-one matches and defeated them both with a little bit of struggle. Given it time and martial artists will be more powerful, but if a fight breaks out until the martial artist is ready, than he's more likely going to lose (and I'm not even going into the whole multiple attackers biz sheesh). Stay safe out there everyone!
Good, practical approach. Do what works best for you, since there is no perfect martial art.
Let's all remember that many of these arts have been turned into businesses to make money on the premise of teaching you how to defend yourself! Also, many systems have been turned into sports and therefore businesses. It's up to you to decide how long you wish to play these games. Many of these systems also give you a false sense of security by their complexity without addressing the real world of violence and how it works, most altercations are over in 30 seconds, not like the movies with 30 minute fights and acrobatic nonsense, think about it!
And you recommend what?
@@bseidem5112 Learn what works and hit first!
I've been training in Krav Maga for two years. I've made it up to Purple Belt and plan on continuing-but I never set out to chase after belts. I think of it as a great workout with a side bonus of decent self defense techniques.
27 yrs ago I trained with a guy that learned krav maga during his service.
It was much different than the bloated money marketing platform of today.
Things don't have to be complex.
Thank you for sharing! God bless!
Jason can you recommend a place that teaches a two week course? Any ideas
Wishing Jason Hanson a wonderful Fourth of July 🇺🇸!
I've watched video's of Krav Megra, I'm ready for battle.
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
$$ does get in the way of efficiency sometimes. Over the years, I have found it is better to train with someone that has other means of income. If teaching is the primary source, Jason is correct. It gets drawn out and less efficient. Train with someone who loves to teach for the sake of teaching.
Thanks Sensei Hanson
It's the person in the fight not the style of fighting . You have to know the strength and weaknesses of it .
Thanks!
My understanding is that Krav Maga was developed to instill in the troops that you fight full out and never quit. Basically to instill the fighting spirit in the soldiers. Nothing else. I have taken Krav Maga classes and they do not teach you to disable or kill an attacker with one or two blows. They don’t teach you how to break finger, hands, and arms quickly and effectively. If you want to learn to defend yourself you need to read two books by Major W.E. Fairbairn. He trained spies in WW. II which later became the OSS, CIA, MI 6 and so on. I still study Taekwondo just exercise and balance but is a sport and is useless in a real fight. I’m 71 and my fight ending moves are a throat strike or a thumb or finger in an eye up to the first knuckle. Keep it simple, attack with vicious technique and attack first if you know you will have to fight.
I might have to because im dealing with bullies "NOT RESPECTING MY BOUNDARIES". total disrespect of my body, time, space and privacy. I need to do something. This stalking sht must STOP.
7 months is a good boxing club will five you the power to drop a punk, After that Do learn break-holds, break falls and a few good throws. 7-8 months in Combat judo or Krav Maga should get it done, Be patient, train hard. A good instructor is a HUGE asset
You MUST- LEARN and PRACTICE! m
My reaction:
1. agree.
2. This is what I tell people.
I can demonstrate or teach you the basics of knife fighting, kukri fighting, stick fighting,, folder knife fighting, entrenching tool fighting in a few days. The basic movements are the same. Once taught, then it is on you to practice for 5 minutes a day. Want cheap lessons? Take a basic Filipino stick fighting series of classes a few times. You don't need a black belt.
The essence of winning includes avoiding getting hurt. It means not being there when some one rushes you, has you at gun point, tries to stab you. The training and movements are simple. In san soo, you are taught movement to the right and left of your attacker out of line of contact, while protecting your face. It is termed "shooing right" or "shooting left". It is done with one initial step. Once you are past that point, you can be shown how to take a second step and deliver a blow.
One day, I asked a san soo master how to avoid an engagement when some one has you at gun point. We were at the firing range. He set up a target. The target was to be the shooter with the drop on you. The master shot right past the target, protecting his face with his left arm, drawing a Glock from a holster on his right side and shooting the target. Easy!
You might also study OODA LOOP. A classmate who trained with me in OODA LOOP was at a gas station. The bad guy was a robber who held him at gun point, trying to rob him. My classmate drew from concealed and killed his assailant on the spot.
3. No, you don't have to be a black belt. Just get good basic instruction .
I like the idea of a few simple moves and practice.
See, since MMA came on the scene everyone thinks they are MMA champs.
Must look into this. But for now, I'll be sticking with my mix of Ko-Man-Doh and Jay-Son-Han-Son.
A little Nike-jutsu would really even out your system.
It's a shame that any form of BDE would destroy you in a fight
I have over 30 yrs experience in martial arts, and had maybe 20 serious street fights, as well as being in the military. Top points:
1. Military are primarily trained to shoot. If u don't have your rifle or bayonet you've already done something majorly wrong
2. This military self defense always simple and easy to learn
3. As Bruce Lee said, better to practice one kick 10,000 times than 10,000 kicks. Simple repeated techniques often work! Reaction training especially is very useful, but to train fast and good reactions you need to practice EVERY WEEK. Use it or lose it
3. Most people cannot train full time. Yes, MMA are good at fighting, but that is their job. Doesn't mean the average person should train kicks to the neck (esp. if they don't get the chance for warm up). Last year I strained muscle in my butt doing a high kick in a self defense situation. Not great
4. Self defense is super diverse. Most common attack on a woman is a rear choke. On a man, it's a two man assault, often as a suprise. Nothing like MMA. Sometimes it's a young girl that's trying to punch you or an old person.. you rarely want to train to kill if you are a civi
5. Keep fit, keep strong, keep fast, train reactions and have some go to techniques that cover most eventualities.
Good advice
Glad you think so!
I have an old Mossad buddy that told me about this when I was in Israel on assignment, so glad you covered this topic on your channel, thanks again.
No problem Fred!! You're welcome God bless you!
I have nothing against Krav Maga on a technical basis. But i have a problem with the lie that is sold that any soccer mom will be able to defend themselves in a real life scenario by having krav maga once or twice a week.
Excellent
thank you Julio! God bless you
I’m trained in Quick Draw Maga😅
Krav Maga is not the only Israeli martial art style. There is a different variation called KAPAP.
I prefer the latter over the former. KM is insular and claims to be near perfect. KAPAP is more humble and cross trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for effectiveness.
I spent five years to Krav Maga having the good experience of AiKiDo and Wing-Chun Kung-Fu. IMHO the Krav Maga is not the Martial ART but it is the Martial CRAFT - truly dedicated to usage in real life.
Any thoughts on TFT, or Target Focus Training?
It's good stuff if you can drop the dueling mindset. Injury Dynamics [TFT branch} has some great reviews. I personally know 3 people that have used it successfully, 2 didn't train regularly and still don't.
Go to the source. TFT is water down san soo kung-fu.
I do have a Krav Maga black belt. I discovered TFT after this and I believe TFT is more realistic but I don't have hands-on training in it.
@@BrandonWAndrews Go to the source if you have YEARS to learn self defense and want to practice with old Chinese weapons that no one will ever attack you with. Or learn TFT, basic h2h that can be learned quickly, offensive modern gun, knife and baton. Also anti gun, stick, knife. I actually love watching old school Jimmy Woo and Frank Woosley, and Bill Hulsy vids by the way. It's all San Soo
Thanks
No matter what you study, it takes thousands or ten-thousands of repetitions to drill the move into muscle memory so that it's instinctive. YOu ca'nt look up o-soto-gari ( a commonly used judo throw) and apply it in a fight w/o tons of practice. even a simple reverse punch or front kick take lots of practice to develop speed and power.
OUTSTANDING : o ......
It took 2 days for me to learn how to ride a motorcycle effective enough for the road. But that didn't make me a great rider. It's the continual practice over many years that made me a great rider, being able to avoid dangerous situations, and making safe and effective slow speed maneuvers. I imagine that if you learned Krav Maga techniques in 2 weeks, didn't practice further, and got in a fight 5 years later, you would much less effective than if you had trained for those 5 years. You have to do more than just learn the moves. You need to continually train. And that's what I appreciate about studios that offer long-term training.
I suggest avoiding Krav Maga or any martial arts offered by ATA. They are a McDojo where instructors can get certified in whatever discipline by taking a weekend workshop. It’s absurd.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
My daughter is in KM and having had a few playful rounds with her, I can tell she has a few good reflexes when overpowered. Just based on that I'd say KM is legit. Stuff you don't want to use but is good to know if it comes down to that.
I had one km training for work. The instructor said it’s designed to end a fight as quickly and violently as possible.
It is not the art itself, but the concept and methology. The difference between combat sports or contact sports, and self-defense is what you use and how you use it.
It can be something as simple as throwing a well aimed punch, at a particular target. That will cause either injury or death... it's a matter of learning anatomy!
There is more to it.
Martial arts has to be pressure tested.
A lot of martial arts has been living in a vacuum, never confronted with reality checks. Developing into advanced "show dancing".
But useless in real life combat situations.
Original Krav Maga developed on real life experiences. Who did what, who lived, who died. What seems to work statistically best?
Statistics showed "martial art experts" had no better survival.
This got smart people in Israel thinking. Let's find the key points for survival. Technique and tactics.
In reality, simple things work fine in real life. Simple techniques, simple tactics.
It even works better than 10 years of martial art experience within a highly commercialized system.
The problem, - how to find the original Krav Maga teching.
Krav Maga is hyped, people wants to learn it. Money.
Very few Krav Maga schools are real - with the instructors having real and original Krav Maga training in the bag.
Just bums,- with some martial arts experience - trying to make money.
But their teaching has nothing to do with Krav Maga.
Most Krav Maga schools only exists to take your money, not to teach Krav Maga, the teachers has no clue about the real thing.
But they talk a lot, very convincing. Big arms, old broken nose - "must be the real thing". Nope.
Question Jason when was the last time you were in a fight ….. that’s what I was thinking
WOW nice!
Thank you for watching!
The diff between training soldiers, and training Joe Citizen: the soldier is probably young, fit, tough and aggressive ALREADY, and his primary weapons are his rifle and calling air strikes: Hand to hand is secondary. For Joe Citizen, he needs more PRACTICE, a lot more, and ongoing to keep those skills from rusting, and (depending on where you live) HTH may be his primary self defense.
I earned a black belt in Krav- it took 8 years training 5 days a week. Subsequently, I train BJJ and Judo- about 6 years. I have to say I disagree with Jason, and agree. I agree that training everyday is the key to building the muscle memory to respond in a specific situation and rolling/sparring develops the ability to function in the midst of chaos. But I don't agree you can learn these skills quickly or practicing a few minutes everyday. No way. All skills have to used to keep them up and to improve. By example, I was taught firearm handling, but I don't practice. I know I would that as a result I would react poorly with a firearm and my accuracy would also be rather poor; not because I don't know what to do, rather that I just don't train frequently.
All that being said taking some training is better than nothing.
The SPEAR system is great
Learning Fillipino martial arts properly along with wingchun, tai chai and baziquan is going to more effective in streets rather than krav maga later on krav mag self defense training can be taken to refine it. Kali, dumog and wingchun should always be the base first.
I've seen one school where they tain really hard. I think boxing does a better job of training rhythm, timing, coordination, and endurance. But you get punched a lot which is no fun and it strips out so called lethal techniques, not even groin.
To add tiny detail: proper distance. Boxers are great at maintaining distance that is best for them.
What about Muay lert rit?
Every Martial Art needs practice to become good at it! There is no shortcut to becoming good at a fighting style. How can an old Japanese guy beat young and muscular guys?
The 2 week course is the good one. Then exercise.
He said Maga.
TRUMP 2024!!!!
BOOOO'YAAAAHHHH!!!
I strongly suggest watching Jason's other video on Krav.
Thank you for watching!
@@JasonHansonSpyBriefing Hi Jason. Are there any books/DVDs that cover the Krav Maga that's taught to the IDF that you're aware of?
Everybody talks about Krav Maga, but few know about the other method known as Kapap.
I know BJJ is the big thing now but I still like boxing. Just my 2 cents. Any form of self defense is better than none imo.
There is also the risk if someone takes a short course and learns and practices some moves in a controlled environment, they assume they are unbeatable. Once when I was training, I got a little over confident in the dojo and at the time I thought it was hash to be told quite openly that I underestimate people and am too over confident. Later on, I came to realise the wisdom in that comment and yes I do reactively jump to underestimating people but I am aware of that and then I correct that. Would I have learnt that lesson in a quick 3 week course and it stuck with me for ever? I don't think so. That is what the years spent training brings you, not just throwing a punch or evading a strike but your own risks an vulnerabilities, the bigger picture, a way of life.
I am sure I read somewhere that Krav Maga was invented by Jews in Hungary during WWII and it was designed to provide them with effective self defence techniques in a very short space of time, so that they could defend themselves against whomever aggressors they might encounter at that time. Obviously those skills were then taken with them to Israel in due course, where they were incorporated into the IDF's self defence training program. I would welcome any reader to correct / add to the limited information that I have. Bottom line, it looks like a great self defence Martial Art, that I feel I am too old to learn / practice at my age.
None of the martial arts are actually designed specifically for self defence (SD). If they were, then the relevant gurus would be able to give you a specific definition of what constitutes an SD situation or fight in their method. But they can't. That is why they use very non-specific terms like "street fight", and why they constantly refer to what happens in MMA or in boxing, or what might happen in dojo sparring. But none of these have a strong relationship to what happens in SD situations. And as a result, mainstream curricula tend to focus on techniques instead of situations. And in SD, it is situations that determine techniques.
It is important to distingush the four kinds of fighting situaions.
1. Sportsfighting and ring fighting
2. Assaults without any warning. There is no way to train for this, although if you survive the initial assault, you will then be in an SD situation.
3. FAIR fights, such as one sees in school where two guys agree to meet to fight. These are NOT SD situations, although they can become SDS situations
4. SD situaions.
IWe define an unarmed SD situation as having some or all of the following:
1. One participant is unwilling or involuntary
2. There is typically some degree of escalation or warning, even if it is brief or sudden
3. No one rings a bell to start the fight. One party just attacks (the "initial entry").
4. It is unfair - ambush, sucker punch, big on small, young on old, man on woman, multiple on one, etc
5. The environment will often play a big role in the fight (hard ground, walls, staeps, furnitire, passing traffic, and so on)
6. Possibility of death or severe injury
7. Possible legal repercussions
Now go out and STUDY VIDEO and observe the basic situations of SD and then create an SD method based on this. What you end up with will not look like the usual martial arts but the basics will include making successful intial entries, recovering and counterattacknig from the opponent's unsuccessful initial entries, ending the fight as fast as you can using single legs, double legs, body locks and slams and tripping WITHOUT YOURSELF GOING TO THE GROUND, hitting with the fists, open hands and forearms, standing grappling (avoiding chancery), getting up off the ground as fast as you can, trying your utmost to STAY OFF THE GROUND. It will emphasize as priorities protecting the head and neck from blows and capture and preventing waist or leg capture.
The Russians did a study many years ago where they found out that it takes 5000 repetitions to make a movement second nature. Therefore it doesn't matter what martial arts anyone studies because it's going to take a lot of practice and a lot of time to master. It doesn't even matter if it is a firearm. US Special Forces spend hours dry firing to get the repetitions in. It's just the flaw of being a human being. We're not like other animals where God gave animals a natural defense. Humans only have their brains to program. Unfortunately muscle memory is the hardest memory out of all of our memories to program.

I would do a martial arts school and take a separate self defense course. Best of both worlds. I would also look into firearms training, first aid training, and maybe defensive driving training too. Lots of options now.
Any discussion about self defense needs to begin with “first, firearms training…”
Wonder if Gal Gadot trained in this?
Yes, she did. At least in some form. But it’s not what people think it is in America today..
if you are in the IDF the answer is yes and she was.
Combat instructors for the IDF apparently.
I am going to move to Europe and start a MCMAP dojo as a Gary belt. Hammer Fist to your Sensi! America! $230 Euro a month membership, and I am going to make it up as I go from watching UA-cam videos. Hammer Fist!
brotha jason i was in the u.s. military in the mid 90's and we were taught very basic hand to hand combat so i think it would be good to learn n stay in shape for , the more you know the better for self defense BUT nothings gonna stop the mozambique drills with a revolver or a semi -auto = 2 to the chest and 1 to the head = guranteed dead ! , you keep em coming bro , i love em 1 million % > tom !
I'm a Norrlandsjägare (swedish rangers) so I think my training will suffice, I can if needed be dangerous.
That's great for you! Thanks for sharing!
Calgary Alberta any Gym you want.

I did Krav Maga for 12 years most was repetition and sparring. I’m a beast
That's great! Thank you for sharing!
I've never seen a self defense guys walk into a ring.
I've studied a few different styles during my military career including Krav Maga. Funny thing is all my instructors said the same thing: A man comes at you with open hands you meet him with open hands, if he has something in his hands, you help him meet God.
Thank you for sharing! God bless!
History repeats itself. Same thing happened with samurai arts
Nihon kobudo existed for so long, because of Japan's policies of isolationism. They just didn't know that firearms technology had advanced so much. Which they were quick to adopt and changed their ways.
Oh and yeah! The last samurai film is pure Hollywood bullshit. During the Satsuma rebellion the samurai also used modern weapons....
do i need a partner, a sparring partner following your training? or can i train alone. thank you.
"The Dane Cook of martial arts!?" -Archer
Doesn't he say that about karate?
@jonlocke1624 knowing Archer it's probably both
You have just entered, "THE DANE''JA ZONE!!!"
Interesting channel ... I'll sub for a bit
Thanks for the sub! God bless!
❤👍🤙
close combat for the military is not about self defence . because if you get that close you are in trouble. It's about teaching controlled aggression
There are a few very limited instances in which knowledge of H2H combat is not only beneficial but also necessary. But as I said in the beginning, very few and limited situations.
....just learn how to kick people in the balls.....
It works on girls too!
I trained in Hapkido, Jeet Kun Do, Taekwondo, BJJ, Arnis, Muy Thai, Savate and Krav Maga. Krav Maga is the superior system for combat arts in my opinion.
Thank you for sharing!
Krav is very deadly and quick. It’s a no mess around defense.
Is it worth learning the most widely-used self-defence system in military history and used by to most civilian law enforcement/intelligence agencies ....?
Hmmm .... I wonder
World Taiji Boxing Association .
I’m trained in Glock ma Glock
Loved to hold on till they 💩
Kajukenpo, great pain like an old friend. If your martial art doesn't teach to accept pain then your martial art is false.
