Re: warrior krav maga
quote shinfucius:It looks like they’re shooting BBs with airsoft guns. Some of the gun disarms look different to me (and I agree with you on the 360s…should be wrist to wrist), so I was a little confused since this was an instructor certification (but looks slightly different than KMW curriculum). So maybe it’s not the KMW phase certification? (although the schools are KMW)Only the headquarters is a KMW Licensee. WKM is an ATA TKD specific program.
Re: warrior krav maga
WKM head instructor is certified under Darren Levine’s KMW and Kelly McCann. It’s an ATA TKD specific student retention program used as a standalone and supplementary program. The curriculum is modified to cover the essential KMW curriculum but from my observation it also doesn’t contain techniques covered in ATA TKD that is also shared with KMW like the wrist release material in Level 1 KMW because it’s covered in ATA TKD. I posted in more detail in another post discussing Warrior Krav Maga.
Re: "Warrior" Krav-Maga. Is it KMW?
Erick Alfaro, is the head instructor of Warrior Krav Maga, he got certified under Darren Levine’s KMW and also Kelly McCann. The Jacksonville headquarters is a KMW licensed location. I’m a level 2 Orange Belt in Warrior Krav Maga. I’ve also trained in Haganah and KMW, and some unaffiliated Krav Maga.
Warrior Krav Maga, as well as their Warrior Combat Kali (Pekiti Tirsia Kali), Warrior Kick Boxing and Warrior X-Fit are ATA specific taught in addition to ATA Songahm Taekwondo. WKM does in fact use the 9 belt system of ATA TKD. The 5 levels of KMW is distributed over the 9 levels of ATA TKD, also techniques taught in the TKD program aren’t covered in WKM. For example the wrist releases that are in level 1 KMW aren’t in WKM because they are covered in ATA TKD. WKM is a supplementary program to the ATA TKD training it’s not meant as a standalone. It’s geared toward ATA TKD student retention. It can be used efficiently as a stand alone but it is not a duplicate of WKM from my experience they do teach KMW for the most part. They do less BJJ style grappling. In levels 1-3 they only cover the trap and roll escape and getting up from the ground and don’t cover moving on the or kicking on the ground as much. Levels 1-3 in WKM is a summary of Levels 1-2 of KMW minus moves that are taught in ATA TKD from my observation. They want to stand up and fight and avoid going to the ground. They do start grappling more in the intermediate and advance levels. The training drills are essentially KMW.
WKM is good for self defense and a standalone martial art however done by itself it’s not the full KMW curriculum. It does teach self defense and utilizes a lot of the KMW curriculum.
Not all ATA schools use WKM. Some are KMW affiliated instructors or other KM organizations, some ATA offer KM, Kali, and/or Gracie JiuJitsu to aide in student retention. When they do its meant as a supplement to the ATA TKD program not necessarily as stand alone programs.
Hopefully that helps.
If you look up Warrior X-Fit on Vimeo or Warrior Krav Maga you can see the Level 1-3 self defense moves, or if you look up warrior broadcast network yoou can find out more, or Warrior Krav Maga Jacksonville.
