Thank you for sharing such great instruction! I've always wanted to learn Krav Maga but there isn't anyone close by who teaches it.

I LOVE your channel. This is something I have wanted to learn for a long time.
My dad went through WWII, Korea and the first part of Viet Nam and he use to get me out in the yard to show me things like this.

Great Learning videos. Small request. If instructor can show the technique before the student does, It will be great.

[pnarozmen]

Great videos! Thanks for your work. But I have a question. My practicing partner is really tall and I couldn't apply that move. Is there any other way to do it?

[mcbloglekil]

Can you use the palms to navigate or deflect the attack?

[imnotcreative]

Would it make sense to yank somebody with the side clinch whilst placing your foot inside between their feet to knock them down?

[you_are_the_key_to_success]

How do I reach my hand between the arm and the body?

[frank.m]

How about putting them on the floor with the side clinch?

So is the Side Clinch not useable if they are too tall or too short, and are groind kicks even helpful if its against a girl
