Krav vs. Everything


Recommended Posts

i just learned krav maga a few weeks ago on a military trip in israel with a company called LionOps. i learned all the techniques from the best of the best (since the israelis created it) and therefore, i'm a huge advocate of it. i love the style and think it's awesome.

So you learned the whole system all ready? How long did this take?

never done krav maga

Done MMA and teach JKD

Know Krav maga is taught in military

I was in the british army myself

Royal enginneers a sparky

MMA is different to Krav Maga but there is no clear winner

I say they are both as good as each other

Been to two different Krav schools and observed two intermediate classes. They both look like MMA training.

Got a funny feeling that your local Krav center either teaches MMA. Or they teach a very watered down no legal liability version of Krav.

BTW, the military did a test to see how long professional soldiers are out of the military before their skills become so useless that they need to go through boot camp again. The answer is 6 months.

Therefore, Krav or no Krav, your training has a 6 month life before it becomes useless.

brickshooter, off topic a bit, do you happen to have a link to that study? I'm not doubting the number a bit, but I'd like the citation for work reasons. If you're aware of where I can get it, it would save me a bunch of time hunting for it.

Thanks.

I agree. It would be a great study to show supervisors in regards to justifying a continuing DT program.

My DT partner has actually succeeded in getting mandatory DT training quarterly for his department.

I can't remember the exact source. I think it was a Jane's Defense Weekly. The time was during or after the Israeli incursion into Lebanon where Israeli reservists had a difficult time recalling their training. So the US military did a study on the issue.

Nice clip. Thanks for sharing.

I love your quote, it reminds me of boot-camp. 'Pain is weakness leaving the body' and 'pain is temporary, pride is forever'... I know the first has been oft repeated, but the second was out platoon motto for the Co. C. 3/32 training division of the 29th infantry training regiment (if I remember correctly).

I get a bit nervous when you get mixes of this that and the other like your Krav Maga Survival, it may be really good but I wouldn't take the chance.

To me Krav Maga is an ok style as is Kippap but not seen anything that hasn't been done before. Almost everything done in the Arsenal of techniques can be found in the midst of the Pinan/Heian Kata.

Even Keysi Fighting Method is the same.

I would be more lined up to learn Pankration over KM or Kippap
