Why is there a debate on which martial art is most “practical” when Krav Maga exists?
I mean militaries use it

*Military, singular, it’s Israel. Most militaries have their own program and their almost all “bare minimum” shit that gets torn apart by even hobbyist fighters.

No they don’t. The army learns MACP (modern army combatives program) which at the basic level is just a crash course in BJJ and the marines learn MCMAP (marine corp martial arts program) which is just a crash course in mma plus sometimes you stab a guy or hit him with your rifle. Only Israel teaches Krav Maga to their military.
>Israel’s military is quite impressive
Lmfao, Israel wouldn’t last a month without the force and money of the US protecting it.

Why do people go to the military when they think hand-to-hand combatives? They're just a rip off of what riot patrol officers do. If you want to learn a effective, practical martial art, just do what crowd control and correction officers do.
Which is pretty much Judo a basterized version of Kali with some bare-bones strikes.

Hey man it’s me the krab guy, I just wanted to say your video did frighten me a little bit and I’m sorry.
I would like to add some insight on your heavy bag work if you’ll forgive me.
You should definitely step pivot more after your combo instead of staying in-front of your opponent.
You should also stop doing that little motion with your hands before throwing each combos because it’s telegraphing.
Also use gloves or at least hand wraps because this will damage you in the long run!

The "bare minimum" approach is for a few very important reasons.
>Fundamentals is all you need.
Unless you're fighting a pro, even then, majority of martial arts techniques are useless/overblown variations of fundamentals.
>Quantity over quality
Dont have the time to turn that many recruits into H2H experts with everything else they have to learn. But you will never find more active martial arts communities than you will inside military communities.
>Kill vs Knock out
What they're allowed & encouaged to do in a fight is different. JJ Machado is credited with coming up with a lot of reall effective nogi techniques, stuff that people with all their fingers, likely would have taken ages to develop. Whats my point? Goals matter. How you think & your intent matters. What you can do is so heavy influenced by your POV, your goals/intent. If its a fight to the death between a soldier & an MMA fighter of similar athletic ability & time spent in their respective professions... I know who my money is on.

Your first two points just make my point that it’s Not particularly effective as a martial arts style and would have the floor wiped with it by even hobbyist fighters. There’s no reason to actually want to train this stuff. The only reason the military teaches it in the first place is to, and I’m quoting someone I knew who had a brown belt in “MCMAP”, is not because they expect them to fight the enemy at that distance, but because they want them to have the confidence to fight the enemy at any distance. These aren’t serious fighting arts these are aggression building exercises
>but muh kill vs knockout
Completely retarded. There’s two reliable ways to kill people with you bare hands, repeated blunt force trauma to the head (and to the body but to a lesser extent) and strangulation. Both of these are allowed in combat sports.
> If its a fight to the death between a soldier & an MMA fighter of similar athletic ability & time spent in their respective professions... I know who my money is on.
If we’re talking about fighting bare handed and it’s not on the professional fighter you’re a retard.

Hard disagree on that. As I said, it’s the bare minimum. If you can teach a guy to be aggressive and throw a lot of strikes that’s better than aikidotards literally freezing up and having no idea what to do when someone resists for the first time in their life.

Bruh, doing martial arts is not the marines profession. Most marines are not regularly training martial arts. If you put a guy who’s been doing marine shit (which is a lot of different shit) for ten years against a guy who’s been doing nothing but hand to hand fighting for ten years at the professional level in a hand to hand fight with each other, the hand to fighting specialist is going to win. Full stop. I don’t understand how this is news to you, but focusing on a specific thing is going to make you better at that one thing than someone who has only cursory knowledge of it.

I don’t know why you think this is even a controversial opinion.

Yes it is. If I study playing chess more than you I’m almost certainly going to win.
>military practices all that and more
That’s exactly my point. Sure, if you join the marines they’re going to give you two weeks of MCMAP and every now and then might drill it for PT (but this is a rarity. But Anyone who practices any skill more by a wide margin than another person is almost assuredly going to be better at it. Professional UFC fighters are practicing empty hand combat way more by a wide margin. Keep seething about that for whatever reason.

No of course not, fighting is all about odds, and being the Better fighter increases your odds. Being a much better fighter increases your odds dramatically. The fact is though, the majority of soldiers and marines are outclassed by the majority of even amateur fighters (I already posted a video of a random bjj girl choking out a marine despite him doing dirty shit like trying to slam her against the cage and canvas after applying the choke) because again, the military is not training martial arts on a regular basis. Why would they? They have fucking guns, a lot of them. This is why people like jocko see the value in combat sports over le 2deadly4u shit like krav.

Because OP opened with saying it’s the most practical art despite the fact that it’s practioners get torn apart when they do try to fight people who train actual combat sports. Never mind the fact there’s no real governing body so you have no idea what you’re actually getting. I took a trial class for krav once where one of the drills was me over and over again hammer fisting a kicking pad that the instructor held horizontally, all the while chasing him around the room in a circle he was running backwards in.

You are legit brain dead

Mma fighter, And how do you think most sparring is done in MCMAP? It’s almost always ground fighting marines are not taught technical boxing beyond “here’s how to throw a punch”
> going against a random soldier who’s experience level you don’t even know.
Why do you assume this matters? Have you ever been in the military? They train two weeks at boot camp and then almost never again after that unless they pursue it on their own time. Produce some evidence that le military martial arts is somehow going to take out a ufc fighter when the chips are down in unarmed combat. Either that or keep coping

They are failing to realize something, anybody that actually trains at a gym knows that people who were in the military come in to train all the time and they are beginners as much as anyone else
put your 4 years in the Marines and you come out still a white belt
Soldiers shoot guns and read maps, they don't fight people in hall ways with a combat knife the way movies portray it

Since there's no rules, the guy on the bike gets his ass beat because he bought pedal locked shoes. Runner wins at his leisure.

>I took a trial class for krav once where one of the drills was me over and over again hammer fisting a kicking pad that the instructor held horizontally, all the while chasing him around the room in a circle he was running backwards in.
Could you visit the Krav places website and tell me the head instructor’s credentials?

It's funny to think that the Israeli military would be the ones to 'invent' a hand-to-hand combative system when all they do is just shoot missiles at Palestinian civilians and bulldoze living quarters of said Palestinians civilians whenever a kid shoots a tactical bottle rocket over the West Bank.

I’m not going to do that because I don’t want to give out information about where I live. I will say though that despite being years ago their website is still up and they don’t list specific instructor names nor governing bodies for their classes. Also they offer two programs, “kids karate” and “adult Krav Maga” and their free trial private lesson still stands. I know a lot of people are going to come back with “well that’s fake Krav Maga, muh real Krav Maga is better” and that very well may be (somewhat) true but that’s another problem with Krav Maga on the whole. There isn’t a strong governing body to stop literally anyone from just opening a Krav Maga school and calling it legitimate.

The founder, Imi lichtenstein, was a champion boxer and wrestler in his home country that I don’t remember. He learned after fighting off programs that it’s useful to kick people in the balls. If you really want to learn “real” Krav Maga you should just box, wrestle, kick nuts.

You should just carry a anti-ballistic missile and learn Judo

Hey retard, you can literally open a gym in any style you want & you dont have to register with any governing body, they can't do shit about it. You have no fucking clue how many gyms, not just krav, are total bullshit.

I've seen childrens lemonade stands get shook down by piggers for not having permits. This can't be true.

I’m not denying that but the fact that governing bodies for real martial arts exists can help newcomers parse out which gyms are real and which are bullshit

>Israel's military is impressive
Israel wins wars against shitty Arab nations because of western military hardware and successfully implementing blitskreig tactics used by the nazis in world war 2. Not because they do shitty karate (krav maga).
Also the modern Israel is not the same military that won the 6 day war they mostly just dunk on underdeveloped Palestinians these days, so if you think that's a sign of martial powers lol. Like thinking the cops in the Jim crow south could do kung fu because they beat up blacks using fire hoses and battons.

I'm not even sure Israeli's armed forces use krav. I think they just learn basic Judo and strikes.
