"Distanced Learning Program" this man was ahead of the times

I trained in Krav in Las Vegas with the famous Donavin Britt, we were taught to avoid fighting at all cost, if you can’t do that, then end the fight as quickly as possible. A lot of guys studying different disciplines don’t consider Krav a martial art and I would agree, there’s nothing “artistic” about it, it’s brutally effective.

If you want to provoke them do that stance but with both middle fingers up

[delfin]

She's a quick learner and certainly got a natural talent for this discipline. Overall, good video. Thanks for posting.

This guy is a great teacher. Excellent explinations and attention to detail. Wish he was my instructor

[BuySTL]

Fantastic explanations. Really appreciate the way you break down the moves with simple, clear instructions. You're a great instructor.. Didn't think to protect my jaw when striking so thank you. I just singed up at a local gym in town but I like the additional teaching/learning so going to be signing up for your university. The private lessons are 100$ an hour and this is much more affordable and convenient.

Just started taking Krav Maga training and these videos supplement what I learn. I watch them before and after each session to get more perspective. Great videos.

I like the concept of striking with the palm of the hand, instead of making a fist.

I have been studying Krav Maga For almost 3 months now this so awesomeThese videos definitely help me practice at home

[naveddurrni]

Finally someone on YouTube who knows what they're talking about!!

[leafyfeathers]

I used to take Krav Maga classes in Middle school so now I’m getting back into it

[archiemeyers]

She is doing good. Just needs to remember to protect her jaw and not leave it so open. Really enjoyed this video. First time I ran across them.

Krav is an excellent starter system . It’s excellent for older folks and it works .
It’s kind of like a modern karate

[rozoulitheofan]

I'm doing krav maga and my sensei told me that I should do practice in my home so this video is the best for me well done!¡!¡!¡

[christiancrais]

I've had my jaw broken from a punch and it stunned me but it just felt like my teeth got knocked out. I think shots to the temple that just "glance off" 11:06 are actually much more effective (or dangerous) in the street. bc while I wasnt knocked out I saw 2 or 3 other people who were.

I'm 11 and I have my first class tomorrow I'm super exited



Update:I never realized how many replies I got to this comment I made this when I was 11 and didnt even know anyone saw it I'm 13 now and havent done it in a year due to covid because of covid we couldnt do it and they were still charging my dad and its expensive especially to not even get anything out of it. I currently do soccer and am in a program in young marines and soon to be in civil air patrol. Thank u for all the support in my replies tho if I saw all those when I was 11 I probably would have put even more effort into it. I might start doing some sort of martial arts again if I do I'll go back to doing krav or maybe takewondo

Update once again: I'm no longer in Young Marines but I'm in CAP. And I'm might be joining taekwondo cuz like 3 of my friends in cap also do taekwondo (one just got his blackbelt) so I might be in that soon

I am trying to learn kraw maga at home cause I have my exam next year so can't go somewhere else and I think this video is really good.Also I think these punching techniques are really same to the boxing techniques.
Thank you ❤️

[linsaftw]

It's crazy to see basics of Krav Maga are what I without having knowledge of this had incorporated because of experience. This demonstrates the effectiveness of this MA.

[codereddefense]

Great video and performance by both of you!

[nickmason]

I also used to hold my stance duck footed like jeet kune do, but I like the stance. It reminds me the book of five rings, "make your combat stance, your every day stance." So if you are walking, you are in krav maga stance.
