Optimass Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Anyone tried this at all? There is a club on the north shore I'm thinking of joining but wanted to get a heads up as to what they get up to first.http://www.kravmagatv.com/?gclid=CO3Nlr ... iQodEAxOfwhttp://www.tacticalsurvival.co.nz/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krav_Magawill complement my training.

Varven Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Yeah I have.Krav Maga is a aggresive reality based self defence system created by the Israeli military.like all "martial arts" it is as effective as your instructor.You are taught fighting skills with a reality based approach: fighting multiple attackers, armed attackers (guns, knives, baton ETC). Working in hostile environments so forth.Gist of it relies on rapid reaction to aggression with maximum damage using minimal force and getting away.Depending on your instructor you can learn a lot or it maybe pretty obvious depending on your background. Give it a go i say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laver Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Looks interesting, plenty of crap stuff around I'd give it a go and see what you think.I am a firm believer adrenalin training is the most important thing people have to master before trying to apply anything they know, if your gonna become shit scared and panic in a situation without being able to manage it your training is largely useless.

Varven Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 They do usually do some intensive bag work, so its good cardio, and yes I would like to believe more adrenaline based training than your karate classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimass Posted September 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 ... I saw a demo about 4 weeks ago ... looks pretty hard core. I like the aggresiveness of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smanwaring Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 definately give it a go, i have been training with graham on the shore for a year and a half, its definately different from most martial arts. no katas, or gis its a self defence more than a martial art, lots more contact and reality based. check out tacticalkravmaga.org.nz. for info. not everyones cup of tea but could be right for you.cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 i saw it on that show on discovery maybe ?? were those 2 guys go all around the world training in different styles, he trained with israeli soldiers and said krav maga is one of the hardest most physical styles. dunno what its like over here though.
