COMPLETE KRAV MAGA

Due to diverse range of styles and variations across the globe, there is no definite count of how many martial arts exist. The Original Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Krav Maga Course in the 1980's Curriculum and approximately prioritized 215 techniques and 15 training drills intensively learned in a 21 hour core curriculum plus a daily one hour specific warm up. Considering the human limit of reaction time drilling reach of pressure points and blocking or escaping opponents from reaching and manipulating your own pressure points thousands of techniques were discarded out of the vast existing martial arts leaving about 215 that could be fit in a prioritized hierarchy of tactical approach to finish hand to hand combat threats in few split seconds. The intensive distilled method of military courses contributed to the quick comprehensive training.  The idea is to train a person intensively to be aware of vulnerability at each of the chain of defense distances, the shooting, kicking, punching, and grappling and how to prevail being more efficient with your time.

Boaz Aviram the instructor of this course was the Third IDF Krav Maga Chief Instructor teaching the instructor conducting Krav Maga Instructor Certifications. The 21 hour course curriculum in the IDF was repeated 3 times to allow Instructor Evaluations. The course consists of learning to maximize impact force through kicks, blows, strikes, pokes, and push and pull pressure points and joints manipulation, reflexive blocks and tactical methods to reach opponents pressure points protecting your own. The first key point consists of understanding your boundaries and limits driving the proactive situational awareness to determine when you must react preemptively or reflexively to avoid an attack.

The course includes tactics of edge and blunt weapons and responding to pistol threat scenarios. My idea is that you get a training partner and some minor training equipment when you decide to train, put these training videos on a large screen and follow my instructions to my students. I will bring you through this course from basic self defense kills to Hand to hand Combat Mastery, depending on how much training you put in. This course has enough training hours to facilitate that!

If you are curious about the training skills potential check the free video of Knife Defenses, and some of the Sparring Drills, and advanced Blocking Drills. Some of the videos include Heavy Bag training where you can get an idea of the force of the Strikes and kicks. As for the grappling section you will see breakfalls and rollover skills and reach to soft pressure points. Use of a stick as a weapon is also demonstrated with various drills, and so is prevailing in firearm threat skills. You will be drilled in the intensive training steps and reverse these steps once you start to forget and make errors. Once you mastered each technique, you will drill a group of them intuitively to build complete combat navigation in your mind and get your mind and body accustomed to identify a threat and execute an appropriate solution. Most scenarios last few split seconds and if you see 3 minutes sparring, it’s because many 3 second scenarios are drilled in each session. Finally, the training system is designed to counter the best attempt to reach your pressure points and manipulate them. You will therefore learn how to reach opponents pressure points and manipulate them to control your opponents. You will hone efficient and effective kicking and striking skills, and learn the complex movement tactics of defending against a weapon.
