Re: Krav Maga Bukan

My daughter is enrolled in the same Bukan school.

it is difficult to say what is a “real” KM and what is not and in Romania – is even worst…

Looking to the techniques in Bukan, they seem to follow the basic principles.

I guess the only way to shed some light on the KM here is to have a close look on the techniques.

Anyway, the same uncertainity applies to any martial art.

I gave Bukan same addional credit than I usually do because of the fact that they teach in Hebrew, which is critical to KM, at least by common sense.

Re: How would you teach your child Krav Maga

Hi!

A newbie here, father of a 9 years old daughter, just enrolled in KM (3 lessons so far…).

Everyone has her or his reasons to send a kid to KM lessons.

Mine are double-folded:
– to have her learning how to defend herself, no matter the situation, and during her entire life (not only childhood bullying!)
– to give her a sense of efectivness and simplicity, to know how to follow rules

Ok, in so little time I was her partner :-). Not that easy you could think, because as a good daughter is naturally inclined not to hit her parents…

I had her watching some youtube clips, but now I am keeping myself out of this temptation because clips are very different and some are in slowmotion, which is not good for this age.

As she love KM, I enrolled her in 2 parallel schools – one is bukan (claimed to be IL genuine) and another one which is rather international – but is a way more simple.

I keep training her for 10 minutes each day but I prefer having professional people doing this.

Myself I never follow a KM lesson.
