Urban Self Defence, Krav Maga Tactics, Level 3

Defend a ground headlock by going for the eyes and pushing the head away, then replace the grip with your leg under the jaw, roll to your knees, and escape.

Defend a ground side headlock when the attacker hides the head by using underhooks, a backdoor climb, and a sequence of pushes and hip switches to escape and control.

This solo drill trains escaping a headlock on the ground using lateral movement, shrimping, hip bridges, and eye strikes, with transitions to kneeling and getting up for control.

Learn to defend roundhouse kicks with forearm and shin blocks, targeting the ankle or instep, using Krav Maga tactics, while maintaining guard, chin down, and applying counters and sweeps.

Practice defending against roundhouse kicks through partner drills, alternating legs, and progressive striking sequences, then apply blocks and counter-attacks with movement, scanning, and cooldown.

Practice five front-leg sidekicks, switch stances, then five rear-leg sidekicks with shields for safe training. Simulate surprise attacks by stepping away and delivering sidekicks to the midsection.

Master the low palm inside defense against kicks to the groin or abdomen by using forearm, hip turn, and the front arm to deflect, protect, and position for follow ups.

Master a solo low palm defense drill that combines front forearm deflection, hip rotation, and balance to deflect groin and solar plexus kicks with 45-degree stepping and shadow fighting.

Learn scooping defences against groin and abdomen kicks, using the forearm, hip movement, and off the line movement to destabilize the attacker and enable counter options.

Master scooping defense progressions from no-counter drills to scooping with first strikes and hand trapping, then integrate footwork, single strikes, combinations, and movement scanning with aggressive counters.

Learn variation two of bear hug defense with a lower head, using a one-arm hook to the eyes, jaw twisting, and controlled strikes to bring him down and escape.

Step back from the bear hug with arms trapped, strike or push the hips and groin, use a knee between the attacker’s legs, and seek separation to retreat.

Practice solo drills to escape bear hugs, manage distance, and execute quick front kicks, palm blocks, and counters with punches, knees, and elbows, plus close-range forearm defenses and sprawls.
