Krav Maga Training Classes

By Paul H. Gray


Krav Maga mainly focuses on self-defence. It was designed in such a way so that the teaching part can be done quickly, and both trainers and trainees do not have to invest a lot amount of time. This is still used by Israeli forces. This technique makes one efficient in self defense skills which is based on natural movements of the body and can be used in everyday's life, and it helps to deal with attack in the fastest and effective manner. This technique got its origin from street-fighting skills and with time it got refined for civilian, police and military applications.

However, in order to get best results one needs to take a structured course with a definite start and end date. It helps you in becoming effective within short duration. Some courses are taught in intense manner in two days and for some training is given on one night per week which continues for 12 weeks. Krav-Maga does not include katas, Dojo Rules or even Budo Mumbo Jumbo which is included in traditional Martial Arts. It uses hand to hand combat uses technique that has really been effective on both the street as well as battlefield to deal with violent encounter. One needs to be physically fit to be expert in these trainings. Its classes are mainly based on Cardio and they make you continuously drill self-defense techniques.

It's Training classes provide training on a variety of fight patterns that will prove to be highly effective while fighting your enemy. The training classes give specialized training on various self defense tactics against common attack types like choke holds, arm grabs and bear hugs. It also teaches the basics of fighting, for example, identifying the vulnerable areas of the enemy and attacking that part of the enemy's body. Further training is given on competitive handling of weapons such as guns, knives and sticks.

Learning it will not only teach you how to fight, but also teach you how to finish your attacker as soon as possible, this ensures your safety when you fight the more chances of the other to get hurt.The best instructor is the one who has gained the knowledge and skills to prepare his students face any tough combats in their lives. Krav-Maga, translated as "close combat" is a combination of martial arts and street fights practiced in ancient Israel.It also teaches counter attacks as well as the use of weapons such as knives, guns and rods. A professionally trained instructor will be able to teach these disciplines to his/her students so that they become equipped with the right skills to face any tough situation in their lives.

There are several institutes across the world offering it's Training classes. A professionally run training class will have a team of qualified instructors who have been Krav-Maga certified from Security Industry Authority (SIA). The certification entitles that the person is capable of imparting the right training to the aspirants. The qualification and experience of the trainer is of foremost value considering the vulnerable nature of the course. A professionally qualified trainer can educate his/her wards about the pros and cons of different types of strikes as well as make them aware of the potential dangers that would confront them while practicing such techniques. This knowledge can be acquired only through practice and years of experience in the discipline. It's techniques are taught at different levels of hierarchy. White belt is being the lowest in the rank & black belt is being the highest in rank.

Tell Us About How You Feel Before A Competition? Good, I feel very... my heart races up! Weak, but strong at the same time... After all the Krav Maga I have done, I have trained myself to get into a very different mindset to what I have normally when I walk about my life. If I become threatened, it's like a switch that goes off: I go into, like, a kill mode. That's what I try and teach my students, how I feel when I get into a cage fight. I don't think, "I am going to have a competition here". I think, "I need to kill the guy in front of me. I need to finish him".How Do You Feel After A Competition? It depends if I win or lose. I haven't lost yet, so I don't know about that. I usually feel pretty good afterwards, pretty happy. Then again, sometimes I want to get back in and finish him because he is still walking. This, in my eyes, as a result of Krav Maga mentality, doesn't seem right. He shouldn't be able to get up.

If there is not a studio close to you, try attending a workshop that is traveling to a nearby city. Commando Krav Maga led by Moni Azik has workshop dates all around the country. It might be a great way to learn a few moves in an intensive weekend that you can practice for months to come.Another alternative to a physical studio is a KM training video. While not as optimal as a live class, it may be your only option due to location and price concerns. There is even a KM BootCamp that is a private membership site online if a physical institute is not a viable option.Besides location, other factors that affect your training are schedule and cost. Most KM schools will post their schedule on their website, but it is always a good idea to call first before you drop in. Schedules change over time, and you may be looking at an old KM schedule from a previous semester.Most centers will also post the price on their web site, but again call to verify. Lots of studios will offer free introductory classes to make sure Krav is for you. The costs of KM classes vary widely according to whether they are live classes, videos, or traveling workshops.

As I had met three martial artists already, I was curious as to what this Krav Maga instructor would be like.
