Thanks for your reply and explanation. Really appreciate your time and input.

Is there a web site that explains the principles of Imi?

For avoidance of doubt, my deal with self defence is very simple – for my own fitness and ability to get out of trouble and go home. I have passed my mid-thirties and don’t intend to be a commando or super martial artist.

I did boxing as a teenager, then had nothing to do with martial art for a long time, until recently when violent crimes have increased around me.

I admire KM because of its pragmatism and its birth as a result of necessity to survive. However, I worry that it may become one of the many martial arts and get stuck in time. Is KM modified from time to time? Does it get feedback from the battle field? Does it get input from other experts such as military people from other countries and martial artists?

I notice (from U tubes) that KM uses a lot of boxing and kicking. It is a strike system, understandably because Imi was a boxer.
Is there no scope for KM to embrace more grappling techniques such as in Moni’s style? (Thought I should at least mention his name since I am on this thread).

Thanks for your reply. I think you have a point on he having to prove his connection with special forces. Could it be that he is not allowed to do so by law or any other code?

I would have thought that this is rather sensitive information. Commandos are usually not allowed to say what they have been involved in.

Would commandos (say SAS or SEAL) behind enemy lines be forbidden from disclosing their activities and units? In movies they often say that even their own country would disown them because the operations are illegal.

Re: CKM / Moni

Moni has been teaching krav maga since 1975 in Israel (see link below on his club in Israel). This is way before KM became famous and a money making business.

He was allowed to teach krav maga in Israel, the birth place of krav maga, as a coach of Israeli’s first olympic medalists in martial arts.

He could teach KM in 1975 when I was only 3 years old. Why can’t he be allowed to teach krav maga now, more than 30 years later?

Moni’s teaching has resulted in olympic medalists and MM winners. He was in the special forces and taught krav maga as early as 1975. What’s wrong with people wanting to learn krav maga from him?
