Krav
Maga is not a sports style of
martial arts, rather focusing on real life self-defense and hand to hand
combat situations. Along with this, it emphasizes stopping threats
quickly and getting away safely. In order to safely deal with threats,
brutal attacks to vulnerable parts of the body like the groin, eyes,
neck, and fingers are taught. Further, the use of available objects, in
essence turning them into weapons, is also encouraged.
Practitioners of Krav Maga are taught to avoid harm and neutralize
attackers by any means necessary. Avoiding harm and ending problem
situations with speed are considered paramount. This may involve
pre-emptive strikes or the utilization of weapons and almost always
involves techniques to vulnerable parts of the body.
The basic idea is to first deal with the immediate threat (being choked, for example), prevent the attacker from re-attacking, and then neutralize the attacker, proceeding through all steps in a methodical manner, despite the rush of adrenalinee that occurs in such an attack. In Krav Maga, the emphasis is put on taking the initiative from the attacker as soon as possible.
Although Krav Maga shares many techniques with other martial arts, such as karate, boxing, savate, muay thai, jujutsu, judo, kobudo and wrestling, the training is often quite different. It stresses fighting under worst-case conditions or from disadvantaged positions (for example, against several opponents, when protecting someone else, with one arm unusable, when dizzy, or against armed opponents).
The bottom line is that practitioners are taught to defeat threats and avoid harm through a variety of means or by any means necessary. They are also taught to never give up.
