Krav Maga: Anyone here practice it?

[Mike Hill]

I was thinking about trying this out.Does anyone here have a background with this system?

 

I think it looks quite relevent since it began at Street level and has been developed for the Police and Military.

[Rich Rule]

If it is good enough for Mossad, then it is good enough for most people. Only heard good things mate.

 

You know somewhere to practice in Bergen?

[Mark Bolam]

Bars, clubs, kebab shops, taxi ranks....

[Heads up]

One of the few martial arts i've actually wanted to try....never got round to it though

I think its just a diluted filipino kali, imo you would be better to study kali with an instructor who has combat experience.

Someone thats actually had a fight be it in competion or the street, too many people teach martial arts that have no real understanding of how difficult it is to pull the technique off in a real live situation.

 

And they practise there art by what Bruce lee called "disecting the corpse" meaning in a safe enviroment with people handing you an arm or a response to your "move" this can sometimes lead to a false sence of security as you think you can do it, untill big Tam the beer monster comes swinging trying to take your head off with 10 whiskeys and some drugs in him, thats the wrong time to find out it wont work

 

These are only my opinion though.
