Thanks GK, its good to be back…..
Unfortunately I don’t have full time access to a car here so need something with Metro access or close to Alexandria… Any suggestions?
e to do that until I pu
OK, yet again, I must reply……
Much like the US army or Marines or Navy or AF, OK, not so much the AF or Navy…. But much like the USA or UMC the Israilis learn SD…. They ALL learn it but much is forgoten after so long without practice…..y useful, I have a good friend from Israel, he learned KM in the army, but forgot most of it. however, that said. talking to people there that DO keep up wih the skill, they ALL know what KM is, and all know thier instructor’s name. The two people interogating me at TLV airport knew EXACTLY who I had trained with by name….. They didn’t believe I came there to train, until I pulled up pics on the puter.
It really doesn’t matter, as KM in the US is very useful, regardless of who else trains in it. seriously, what other MA teaches you to defend yourself on the street after one or two classes??????
Keep safe

Last year in Israel, I thought I would forever have neck issues from the backlash of looking every which way at one time………
OK, true story…. (Know the difference between a pilots story and a fairy tail? One starts out once opon a time, the other, no $hit, true story, there I was….) Annnywayyyyyy
We were hanging out in Netanya, and the thing that got me was these 18 year old girls with these TIGHT blue jeans and navel rings and make up and and and AND M16s slung over their back…. Bad as chicks and knock dead gorgious……
Just sayin

OK, first off, quit whinning and just take the gun away. In real life, people may pull the gun. Yes, most bad guys see TV and will mimic that but you cannot assume that. They will pull the gun, they will SHOOT you with the gun, they will beat you with the gun…… JUST take it from them…… There are a LOT of different techniques out here for taking guns away from folks but KM teaches the best in my opinion…… Like everyone else said, do what you need to and see if it works…..
For what it is worth, when I was learning the gun D’s I had one of the people I worked with walk up and rob/kidnap me at any time during our night shift. I did the same to her. The rules were, at any given hour or minute, the one that had the gun could point it at the other and shoot if the person didn’t comply…. (Airsoft gun, they do HURT)…. Anyway, one of the things KM teaches, or should in a good school, is wait for the right moment. WHEN that moment apears, take the gun, hurt the shooter, then get out of the situation OR kill his friends that are armed as well…..
That all said, encourage the person to pull the gun, but at least seem like you are going along, then, WHAMMMMMM

I have had a long battle with my ACL. Hitting the leg press with attitude stopped me from having surgury but when I shifted from heavy iron to KM a couple years ago I lost a lot of mass on my quads and the old injury came back. My knee will pop out during KM from time to time now but I can usually pop it back in with a quad strech.
All that said, I have taken a couple months off KM to try and get my quads strong enough to negate the knee issue again. (That and other time constraints) I am about to start back again next week though and will see how it goes.
When my knee pops out and stays out for a few days (As it does from time to time) I feel vulnurable as hell. You can do a number of defenses and combatives with it out but it is a very odd feeling not being at 100%. Makes me wonder how I ever survived before KM…… LOL. (A walking cain that looks a lot like something Bufford Pusser would carry helped a little)

Power to weight ratio only works in the straight line. Put a Porsche 914 against a 928 on an auto cross corse, the BHP will lose every time IF the 914 driver knows how to use his/her advantage…… But then, that is a small guy that is trained against a big guy that isn’t…..
\”That’s right Giant Killer,
I am not a Martial Artist. Yes I am a certified Krav Instructor. The two are not the same. Krav Maga is not a Martial Art. It is a self defense system! Therefore I am not a Martial Artist. No Gi, no belts, no horse stances, no board breaking, no bowing every five seconds, no meditation, no tournaments, no trophies, no weapons demonstrations, no cute little pajamas err… uniform………
No. I am not a Martial Artist. Krav Maga is not a Martial Art! \”
Gotta catch up, to busy for KM posts, just not right……
MARTIAL:
adjective
relating to soldiers, war or life in the armed forces
MARTIAL ART:noun [C usually plural]\
a sport that is a traditional Japanese or Chinese form of fighting or defending yourself:Hmmmmmmm, would seem to me that KM IS a martial art, just not a traditional one. Actually, if you look at the route terms, shooting is a martial art…….. But then, shooting a bigger foe….. Would that put me at a disadvantage?????
JC :o)
High kicks are GREAT during sparring….. It gives you the perfect time to demo why high kicks are pretty much useless on the street…… (Yes, I know IF someone is good, they might sneak a good one in….) But, in general, if you catch the leg high, hold it there and bust the crotch or knee, well, just not a good idea for those of us that haven’t trained at the Olimpic level in TKD or weren’t raised by a Sholin master…….

\”My opinions are mine and mine alone. Some of you are way too sensitive. Take a Midol and calm down! There are some emotional ass cats in here. You dudes need role model or a hug. In other words I am not toning a god damn thing down. At no time have I made reference to how great my school is. At no time did I say I can beat anyone in the world. At no time did I suggest that I am a \”Giant Killer\”. I am not on a website acting like super ninja . All of this internet tough guy shit is garbage. I stated my opinion and like a pack of wolves you jump in with your emotional responses. Grow the hell up!
I am not going to tone anything down for any one, ever! Stop crying like little ass girls. If you really believe me to be off my rocker just agree to disagree. Don’t hit me with that \”go to so and so’s school\” I don’t give a fk about any of these schools man! I am too busy doing me. I run my own companies. I don’t have the time to roam the city looking for different schools. In other words, I have a life! LOL.. Come on now! Get real. \”
And you call US emotional…… You sound like my daughter coming home from school complaining about a bunch of bullies after she got in thier face…. ROFLMAO
just trying to get to page five….

Very good, polar bears will eat puffins given the chance. And, isn’t a zebra bigger AND heavier than a female lion, thus should have an advantage? cougers take down dear twice thier size….. Oh, enough if the animal stuff or it will turn into a bad pun thread…….
I have to ditto giant, sworn and yes, even agree with everything Ryan says as well…..

Swornenemy, is that a claymore on your moniker? I donít think claymores care how big a guy isÖ.
Psy, why would anyone truly interested in self defense stay in a fight just to fight? The point is to neutralize the threat quickly and either move to neutralize the next one or leave the scene or whatever, but it is NOT to go toe to toe with someone. Like someone said earlier, a big manís knees, fingers balls etc are vulnerable. I think if you break the guyís knees you pretty much eliminate the size advantage.
Now, I have been in training and havenít been on here in a while, but have to go back to the zebra lion thing. That was a really bad analogyÖ.. So I will use one myselfÖ.. Little guys have no issues with big guys. For instance, polar bears will NEVER eat penguins in the wildÖ.. So, size must not matter right?

Taking him to the ground ties you up and his buddies kick your head in……!!!!! In a cage match, great idea, on the street, probably not.
I personally like the downward side kick/stomp to the back of the knee followed with a knee to the back of the skull, but thats just me…….
