Krav Maga

            In middle school I was introduced to a fighting style called Krav Maga. Krav Maga is a military self-defence and fighting system developed for the Israel Defense Forces and Israeli security forces that derived from a combination of techniques sourced from Boxing, Wrestling, Aikido, Judo and Karate, along with realistic fight training. In other forms of fighting, sparring means to practice in half speed. Krav Maga spars as of a actual life defense. Krav Maga is a self-defense training and has multiple fighting styles included.  Doing this training made me tune into UFC fighting. Some of the key focuses of techniques in Krav Maga are effectiveness and instinctive response under stress. To that end, Krav Maga is an eclectic system that has not sought to replace existing effective techniques.

            You would have to work on your foot work and balance to control the technique correct. Around the time Krav Maga became a famous fighting style the movie Never Back Down was premiered. In some organizations like Krav Maga Global (KMG), sparring is slow and light until the student reaches G2 level. This takes approximately four to six years, because rising one level in the Practitioner and Graduate categories takes at minimum half a year of consistent training.

            I have always wanted to learn mixed martial arts. A man decided to teach me something special and I accepted. The pain throughout the process was well worth the knowledge. This skill is no ordinary skill that can be learned over night. The special defense can only be learned through patience and pain. You will be able to feel when you are working hard and right. One work out I have done is doing a circuit of punching a heavy bag, slamming a hammer on a tire and workout muscle ropes. The results of the workouts become visible. It is almost like muscle memory in basketball. Once you get it you’ll will be able to use it consecutively. The more one work on a certain defensive move, the better you will be able to use it. Everything must be done on a real person in order for you to work your response under pressure. The response to under pressure attacks control your Krav Maga ways. Krav Maga is the best form of mixed martial arts evented. Many people are still learning this.
