Learn How to Defend Yourself — IDF Style (Part 2)

The IDF is proud to present the second episode of "Learn How to Defend Yourself: IDF Style", taught by Krav Maga instructor Sgt. Rachel Shir. Join Rachel in order to learn how to defend yourself from any potential threat.

Krav Maga is a self-defense system that was invented by the Israel Defense Forces in order to ensure that both combat and non-combat soldiers know how to stay safe in every situation. All IDF soldiers are taught how to defend themselves from abductions, stabbing attempts and much more.

As a US Police Officer and Krav student, great job with this video - you capture the speed and violence of action needed for this to be effective. For the critics: you do not know what you are talking about.

Go IDF!

[JuanPabloArenas]

That's the way I'd like my girlfriend to defend herself. Lots of love to Israel. Shalom from Spain.

[fernandatralala]

The world is a better place! Thanks for sharing the good news.

[playerlife]

Thanks for the videos, it shows a lot of information that is useful, especially here in America. Please continue the struggle against violence, because violence knows of no religious or social immunity, in other words, fear and violence will never achieve anything, only respect and understanding for one another will.

This reminds me of King Of The Hill. When Bobby gets taught self defense. First he shouts "Hey that's my purse. I don't know you!" And then kicks the person in the groin.

[LoveIsraelAlways]

IDF women power - showing the world how to do it!

[dymproductions]

there are other techniques which Krav Maga has for guns, knifes, sticks etc. You can look them up on youtube, however, someone will teach you more civilian style.

[warlord]

good stuff, I'm gonna share with my sisters.

[jpd]

I hear ya. I trained in Krav for 2 years. Once I training I got taken down by a Brazilian Jiujitsu black belt. And this wasn't some skinny grappler, but one built like a power lifter. It was scary how easily he did it. Sure got me thinking...

[Kravmagainternational]

This girl is than most of the men instructors I have seen from the IDF.

[Numbono]

I've been doing Krav Maga for 4 years now and have definitely never heard of such an incident. Not even read about it in the newspapers.

[NHMaga]

but what if the attacker not only grabs you, but actually attacks you?

[danielslevi]

I just wanted to invite her to go out!... and she kicked me "there"! :-p

[wcuribe]

Sparring in the IDF is slow and light like in the civilian schools of krav maga or is tougher?

Who do you train and for how long?

[FishOnIsMyHandle]

They should re-post this with the "Wordgirl" theme song.
