Krav Maga & Combatives

Krav Maga: & Conceptual Approach To Fighting

Unlike most traditional martial arts and systems of self-defense, Krav Maga isn't defined by a particular set of techniques and solutions. These can and do change over time, as threats and attacks alter in the way they are executed, and objects such as firearms change in both their design and fire-power. Krav Maga is based on certain concepts and heuristics, which guide the development or the evolution of techniques and solutions. Below are some short videos which explain some of these concepts and why they make Krav Maga such an effective system of self-defense/fighting.
