Re: Strengths and weakness of KM
quote nkfr:And a lot of people overestimate and overate their training while underestimate others.
Don’t get me wrong, I am a kravist, and I train KM escapes and techniques.
I am a poor grappler and I can barely perform a juji gatame.
But what I can say for sure is that a great deal of kravist assume that a lot of techniques they train are magic, especially eye gouging and strikes to the groin.
It’s a fact that the strikes to the groin are probably the most overrated techniques in all the martial arts, while it’s sometimes quite inefficient (adrenaline, alcohol, etc…lower the pain quite much).
Same for the eye gouges, I remember a Pride fighter submitting his opponent after losing his eye.I am not saying that this strikes are inefficient against a grappler, in fact they would probably work on most of the grapplers.
My point is that there’s a good chance that they won’t work on a very grappler.i think maybe you misunderstood me…those techniques are not magic and there are obviously instances where they fail to achieve the desired response but that is why krav is great. when things like that happen you take you training and follow it.
ex. groin strike doesn’t work, transition to weapon of opportunity. Pens, rocks, sand in the eyes, biting…all these things are not magical but they make the attacker move from the attack mindset to a defensive mindset…even if that only allows you to go back to square 1 and start over with the groin strikes and continue to work.
that is the part of krav i love and identify with…
can you kick a drunk in the balls and have him keep fighting? yes.
can that same drunk get kicked in the balls over and over again while being racked in the face with eye gouges, headbutted, bit and then being stuck in the balls again? answer probably not..
that said i tend to lean toward the have a knife and deescalate the situation the best you can approach..i feel you are better prepared that way and if things go as described and you are on the ground with somebody trying to hurt you a nice little $15 folding knife can be your best friend in the worldRe: Strengths and weakness of KM
nkfr…i think many times people overestimate others and underestimate themselves….just b/c you are a world class grappler of wrestler doesn’t mean that i can’t or wouldn’t be able to, eye gouge, groin strike/manipulate, or bite/headbutt…these are things that regardless of your position in the fight you typically find yourself capable of executing..and if you think u will continue to set up that sweet bent arm bar after i crush your nuts, then i say lets demo this encounter..
Re: Strengths and weakness of KM
quote phlegmon27:How well to you grapple with thumbs in your eyes? Just wondering.just what i was gonna say….not to mention it’s hard to arm bar me when i have you balls in a death grip or i’m biting your face…i heard a great joke about this…”How do you turn a BJJ black belt into a Tkd yellow belt?”…”Punch him in the face”
Re: What’s happening to CKM / Moni Aizik
quote Future SWAT:Just to let you know this dude was on fight science and disarmed and punched out a gunman,faster than you can blink your eye.BS or not this guy has a solid program.I personally have not gotten nor care to get into his history.But his program is solid alot more solid than the ATA Krav bs they are selling suckers around here.So until something else comes along im gonna be taking a CKM class starting april 1st.Also just to let you know Krav has all kinds or MA mixed in Judo juijitsu,muay thai,so im not sure what you intended to prove in your post.Possibly you should look into the history and MA that were incorporated into Krav before you just assume it was an original MA in it’s own.It also has boxing ect i could go on for a while to list all the MA that the original teacher incorporated into it,but you can look that up yourself.I haven’t seen the fight science with moni in it….are you sure you’re not confusing him with Amir perets? That is really not the issue at hand though. The issue is that moni has misrepresented himself through lies and devious tactics.. Regardless of how effective his system is(very debatible) he has shown a pattern of deception which speaks to his integrity and that is not a quality I for one want in a person who is teaching me how to protect myself and my family. That said I hope you take what works from his system(again debatible) And use what works…I wish u nothing but the best in your endeavors and use it as we say in the system of Krav Maga, “So that one may walk in peace.”
Re: Test time length
We went to a 6 hours knife seminar in Chicago taught by Darren levine. Awesome seminar and down to earth guy, but didn’t get back to kc till 3 ish in the am.(like 5hrs ago). He even signed my “seasoned copy” of the complete krav book. Everyone else had nice brand new copies, mine had gotten some use at the gym and by all the people I let borrow it.
Re: Test time length
My level 1 test was 2.5 hrs with a 3 hr review. I felt like I was king of the world after that…. 2 hours later I was asleep on the couch with a beer in my hand..hahah. But seriously, 5 min test? WTF? That is not an acceptible amount of time to be able to measure the apptitude of the practicioner…. You are fresh, and only go for 5 mins. Try going for 5.5 hours with a 10 min break…
