Re: Hey y’all- From Mississippi! Is KM Legit?
Thank you for your input “Tactical Timmy”, and I appreciate your thoughts! However, for me the 3 initial questions that prompted my post were, for me, more appropriate. I, too, have over a decade of martial arts experience. Having said that I think that I’m quite adept at determining the 3 points you addressed at the beginning of your reply. By no means am I even attempting to discredit the legitimacy, practicality, or employability of Krav. As a true martial artist I’m ALWAYS seeking to improve upon my knowledge base, and to make myself better than I am. I guess I’ve never considered that some people may be so unsure about their proficiency that they feel the need to marginalize another’s art. I must disagree with you regarding the “watered down” comment. Just because Ed Parker is no longer alive to teach Kenpo doesn’t mean that existing schools are teaching watered down versions of the art. In fact, it’s quite the opposite! Kenpo, as an example, has evolved in many ways. Now there are different systems within Kenpo that make it faster and more powerful. Perhaps if one attended a TKD/Krav school then they should expect watered down versions of Krav. I did actually find a school like that closer to my home but dismissed it immediately. I got the feeling that someone studied a Krav Maga book and incorporated Krav into their TKD school.Thanks again for your thoughts. Have an OUTSTANDING day! Are you still with FAST?
