How Will I Learn?
Krav Maga uses a simple approach to learning through practice and repetition. The most effective defence against each kind of assault will become almost second nature and automatic, so that in actual confrontation they will be utilized immediately.
Techniques and training methods emphasize the ability to function from a poor state of readiness, and to move from a passive to aggressive state immediately in order to survive. Instructors incorporate realistic re-enactments, teaching students how to operate under stress.
Krav Maga teaches hand to hand combat. This is a more advanced and sophisticated phase of the training It embodies elements related to the actual performance of the fight including tactics, feints, powerful combinations of different attacks, the psychological dimensions of the fight, and learning how to use the environment to your advantage.
Why is it different from Martial Arts?
Martial Arts are not predominately concerned with self preservation. Often the techniques learnt either take too long to develop or are not practical in so far as they cannot be used in certain circumstances.
When learning self defence, you have to figure in 'the fog of war'- adrenal stress. When you are very scared and full of adrenaline you need techniques that are going to work with as little modification as possible. You will experience the loss of motor skills during an encounter and often techniques will fail if they have been practised inappropriately.
The method in which Krav Maga is trained differs as we try to put more pressure on the student so that they can learn to function better under stress.
