Outside defense against punches. Eric, please. Sorry. All outside defense against punches- sorry, these outside defense against punches are executed from low base extend. That means your hands are not here. They are down below. Here's a punch.

Slow. Outside the line of fire I'm going to come by doing this. I'm just going to shift my body a little bit towards his live side. Since my hands are down below, the easiest way for the punch is just to bring the hand straight up. Again. Past my face. It's important to know the form of the lower part of my forearm and not the higher part of my forearm. If I do, I'm much weaker. The lower part carries a lot more strength.

Because I'm moving to the live side of my opponent, it is crucial that I'm going to strike him at the same time. It's not a block and a strike. I need to strike him immediately. To do so, I don't even rotate my shoulder because that rotation will consume time. I'm in the live side. I'll grab him, bring him into a knee to the groin and make separation.

One more time the motion. Thank you. Face forward. Take your basic stance. Bring it to a low basic stance. With the foot we're going one back. One back. With the hand, one. I need 90 degree and 90 degree. Back. One head low. Back. One and two. With the punch. One, back. One, back. And one and right away the hand comes to your face. Grab him, knee, we make separation. Again. One, two. Again. One, two. All in one. And one. Again, one. Please, Eric punch David. Right through, please, not fast. Again. Try to pay attention to 90. Again. Change places, please. Punch him, David. Again. Again. Thank you very much.

Great training and excellent instruction. People don't realize that we don't walk around with our hands in the air or in a fighting stance all the time. You have to be ready to block and strike from anywhere.

I like this technique. Efficiency and simplicity of it flow well together.

KM is a good self defense system, even if you walk down a street and someone wants to attack you. I can explain why. The exercises (slow motions first with increasing the speed) help develop the muscles memory and all the movements are done on the reflexes level. It’s like your eye that always closes when something is approaching it. But you need to exercise a lot to get to this point.

Wing Chun is one of the grandfathers of most martial arts, and Krav Maga was developed as a hybrid of some of the most practical fighting styles to produce a simple, yet brutally effective discipline.
It's no surprise that the style shows Wing Chun influences. Just goes to show what can come out of preserving such knowledge. :)

i disagree with making separation at that particular point, it gives your attacker time and space to grab his weapon.   At this point, I would take him to the ground and disable him completely.

Whoever comes up with the idea of this technique is a real beast

Some of the people commenting here need to get your heads out of your asses.  These are simple, beginner level Krav Maga training videos.  I've spent years training in various fighting styles that literally require years of training to be effective.  Krav Maga is a style that cuts out all the BS and allows almost anyone to learn a defense fast.  Any styles effectiveness depends on the practitioner not the style.  Most people can't and won't dedicate years to self defense or combat training, that doesn't mean they can't or shouldn't learn at all.   By the way, good, clean, easy to understand videos.  ;-)

Love this instructor .didn't catch his name. Hes awesome.love krav maga.

[battlefieldcustoms]

i love the hundreds of “this wont work comments” they are the same people who never understood why people spent their free time doing this for years and then get put on their asses one second into fighting someone. training and repetition is the only thing that separates you from a normie on the streets just tossing their hands around hoping to hit something

[erynd]

Very simple and easy to use. This can wreck someone in two microseconds. Namaste.

A very effective techniques in fighting, , Support and wAtching here from Philippines.

[mliao]

it probably is :) Krav Maga (well, IKMF Krav Maga anyway... I'd have no idea about any other organizations) always looks to other martial arts as part of it's pursuit in finding the most effective techniques to use. If Wing Chun has the most effective defense against circular attacks, we'll use it :D

[roseannadan]

I miss this kind of training of martial arts 🥰🥰

[jonnythunder]

Ive just started KM...46yo...loving it....these vids are great....thank you..!

[thewoodmilladmin]

I don't get it; why would you want to move away after striking your opponent? wouldn't you want to keep on going until he is KOed completely?

[dogguyful]

Beautiful background music. I transition defense against punches into defense against knives. I look at the latter by assuming a punch as a knife attack and look at various possibilities. Thanks for sharing👌👌👍👍👊👊🥊🥊🙏🙏🥋🥋
