Krav Maga

[Black7Sun]

Alright, who can tell me about Krav Maga (Israeli martial-art fighting style)? Does it really live up to all the hype?

I heard that Jews/Israelis developed their own style of martial-arts since back in the 80s but I've been hearing more and more how good it is over the last couple of years. So is it really all that?

No replies, now why am I not surprised.

Krav Maga itself is a highly efficient, lawless and dangerous fighting system. It is a purely combative system that feeds off the martial arts of the world doing away with kata, form and any spiritual cultivation. It is a brutal system for military tacticians now replacing many of the forms of fighting used by government agents around the world. The system itself is not for the weak or kind hearted destruction of limbs, bones and life are it's only intent. It is a very cold fighting method with no concern for any universal laws in fact the instructors scoff at every aspect of spirituality as ceremonious and without purpose. Now one has to consider the mind frame that it takes to utilize such a system and the psychological effects of having such techniques. There's a price for all involved, but to make a long story short yes, it is highly effective, close quarters and combat ready...It's a darker version in many aspects to Bruce Lee's Jeet Kun Do objective, in the sense that physically it respects no limitations.
