It’s essential that students learn striking techniques so that they can effectively counterattack and do damage to an attacker or an opponent. Krav Maga teaches students how to fight with punches, kicks, knees, and elbows. To be well rounded in self-defense it is essential to be able to use all of these striking techniques.
It’s all about defending yourself so you can neutralize a threat or attacker, and survive. As a result of this mentality there is no technique that is considered “dirty” or “illegal” in Krav Maga if it means the difference in surviving an assault. This is another huge benefit of Krav Maga. Students are taught to target areas like the groin, eyes, and throat on an attacker because strikes to these targets illicit an involuntary response that can also impede functions like breathing, seeing, standing, etc.
