Krav Maga In Action

[johnwhitman]

Hey, everyone. I’m posting this here and in the General Topics section as well. This is a reminder of why we’re doing the work we are doing. The following was sent to us by one of our top Force Training Instructors:

\”Here is a edged weapon defense story for you from the Denver Police Department told to me by the officer himself:

A Denver PD officer is doing traffic enforcement and pulls over a drunk driver. The guy is totally uncooperative and drunk, cussing saying he is not going to get out of the car. The officer opens the driver door and uses a twist lock to get the supsect out of the car. As he exits the car, the officer feels the suspect start to spin on him and sees him making a punching movement towards his head. He had just gone through a KM edged weapon instructor course so he blocked what he thought was a punch and used an elbow strike to the head as a counter. The officer heard something metal hit the ground and saw a large folding knife laying on the ground next to them. He immediately followed up with knees strikes and the suspect collapsed to the ground. When he took the suspect to jail to book him they noticed that he had large scares and cut marks across his chest (the officer said they were in the shape of X’s). He asked him where he got those scars and he said that he had been in alot of knife fights. When they ran his rap sheet they found he had been arrested 17 times and most of them for ADW with a knife. This guy was a knife fighter.

The officer has a backround in Tai Boxing, JKD and Mixed Martial Arts and he told the class that he liked the KM but he thought he would use something else in the field. He said it came out of him so naturally that he didn’t even thing about what he was doing and he never saw the knife, only the punch. He ended his story by saying that is TOTALLY sold on KM and for them to take the training serious.

Let everyone at KMW know that KM is saving lives!\”
