It combines the most lethal moves from ALL fighting styles. I’ve studied fighting techniques for over 30 years. I boxed for years. Took 4 different types of martial arts. None of them came close to Krav Maga. One year of Krav made me a better fighter than 30 years of other fighting techniques. But you should also carry a gun. It’s your duty. ^^This^^ Krav Maga is hands down the most lethal and effective form of fighting. It combines the most lethal moves from ALL fighting styles.

Teaches men to fight like girls with scratching and kicking. You’ve never been in a real fight. Ehh I started out in krav maga and quickly moved into muay thai then finally found my home in plain old boxing. Got a really good personal boxing coach with a documented pro record of 20 something fights and an amateur record of 100 plus. gave it my all for several years. Krav maga was just mediocre and there was way too much to work on to become great at any one thing and the sparring was pretty lame. IF you are not doing hard sparring or taking actual fights competitively All the technique, bag work/fitness wont do you a whole lot. Its a completely differnet animal trying to beat on a person that doesnt want to get beat on and is determined to hurt you. Going to have to give a few brain cells in order to get good at this stuff unfortunately. |

User ID: 77351778 United States02/12/2019 01:15 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What martial art really works in the real world, as opposed to stylish stuff shown in the movies? Quoting: EarthSkies We all know you take a lot of ass whoopins. Just get used to it. Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running. Used by the Founders... Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives” reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day... America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments... 1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year. 2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges. 3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set. 4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit. Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates. Democrats are a WMD, literally. Let Justice Be Done Though The Heavens Fall. |

None of them really work irl, it’s just that cool choreography on the silver screen makes it seem like it works. All you need to master is a kick or punch to the nuts, and keep distance where possible. In other words, if you’re out of range, you can’t be hit. When / they rush to attack you, you counter strike to the balls, then immediately back off. But even then there’s no guarantee you won’t get hit. While I’ve been a life long Bruce Lee historian, and believe he had some good ideas, I also believe he was a hype job and was nowhere near as good irl. That’s coming from someone whose studied the man. Nd his philosophy since 1991. Don’t waste time nor money on traditional martial arts, OP. |

OP, so many people have been brainwashed - via Hollywood - into believing this horseshit works. They see some movie about some wise, old oriental master teaching his unenlightened, western disciple all of the ancient fighting secrets, which then turn him into the ultimate killing machine. I think it was the karate kid that spawned this myth or perhaps drunken master. Who knows? Who cares? It’s all make believe horseshit that never worked for anyone. Watch any martial arts tournament / fight, and see how much of a sloppy mess it always turns out to be. If they look that shit in the ring, then imagine on the street and against multiple opponents? |

| stoidi User ID: 77046882 United States02/12/2019 03:09 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Street fight is street fight, grab a couple good sized rocks, hit em, knock em down, shove a rock in their mouth and pound their head on the cement. Grab a metal rod, anything and hit, jab, and beat. It won't be pretty, but street fights aren't. Once you got the adrenaline flowing, those kicks don't feel anything. A female wearing white boots grabbed me by the hair and threw me on the ground and started kicking me. A couple of minutes later She's begging off with a broken bleeding nose, and I have white shoe polish on my face, never felt it, but she was begging off bleeding.....aim to maime, was what my brother taught me. Shove that nose, Jab in the chest, in the center, poke your fingers in their eyes, grab and squeeze their.......lol.  One back turns in parting to turn and turn again. Leaving is never going, its circling round the bend. |

| AltSwede User ID: 77367727  Sweden02/12/2019 08:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wrestling and Boxing is the best combo, Both keep you on your feet and strengthen your core and balance to do so. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72951825 Boxing gives you ko power and ability to fight multiple people at once without having to kick which kicking opens you to being taken down. Wrestling helps keep you on your feet and the ability to get back up in case taken down. Trying to kick in a street fight can be the end of you. Replace boxing with kickboxing. You will need those kicks. Boxers weak point is almost always their ground game (you got it covered with the wrestling) is their inability to check a kick. Also kicks can be very useful in a street fight, especially if you go for knees and balls. AltSwede |

Wrestling helps keep you on your feet and the ability to get back up in case taken down. Trying to kick in a street fight can be the end of you. You're not giving kicks even nearly enough credit. A skilled footworker can destroy a straight boxer. Sure be in trouble if that wrestler gets hold of him though. But that's still not a simple task. The wrestler has to either push through superior range and power or sit and wait for a catch. Surely, no-one is going to suggest 540 kicks in the pub, but a single front kick to the diaphragm or solar plexus area fucking hurts. I whole-heartedly support the use of stop-kicks too, despite their being labelled inefficient and silly. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 77335283 United States02/12/2019 12:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The unasked question is how a 75 year old should get started and train with what(other than a pistol)? Older people have almost no adrenaline and their reactions are slow. Yes, training will speed reactions, but not the adrenaline. There needs to be a method that's effective in gun free zones, since thugs can be anywhere. It's possible to maintain some muscle and bone strength, but the reaction time and anger/adrenaline fugue state are the missing links. |
Among many others like kicking their knee backwards. My old fav is slapping the hands together with their head in between right over the ears. Good times.
