Krav Maga Techniques : Krav Maga Seven Elbow Strikes

[bandlracing]

This is ATA (American TAekwondo Association) stuff.......not real self defense application. To all, make sure you investigate and research the program you are interested in before you sign up and spend alot of money!

[kravmagakapap]

the 7 elbows strike of km are very very different from these........ it seems krav magà but...

[allseevid]

@kravmagakapap Of course this is not Krav Maga! Doesn't even resembles Krav Maga. This guy is ludicrous!

[campstar19]

@kravmagakapap

This looks like its more detoriated muay thai elbow strikes, but its still effective

[meuske95]

stop fighting bout martial arts self defense thing, who are you to judge

[LarrySDonald]

Seems like healthy enough debate. I've found fist has the advantage of not advertising if you're throwing a punch or an elbow for a split second longer, though open hand feels a little easier on the muscles. Personal preference thing. Krav was always meant to be all the martial without much of the arts and there's nothing wrong with that. I didn't paint a mural on the outside of my house, I painted it yellow. Nothing wrong with murals or yellow, they're just different approaches.

[SouthLondonKravMaga]

also all krav maga techniques are a last resort - to use when all other options are out of the equation.

there is no seperation between aiming to cut or stun the attacker - all techniques are to incapacitate the attacker as soon as possible, in the shortest possible time

[SouthLondonKravMaga]

everyone is different, some may prefer open or closed fist.

there are no rules in krav maga, just principles.

so whatever works for you, works for you - as long as it doesn't get you hurt or killed - which is the most important principle

[wereknotknomes]

the elbow is ment to cut your attacker,not knock them out. always keep the hand open.and you use the ball at the end of the elbow, not the forearm muscle to strike with

[bladeknight2006]

dont close your hand into a fist when doing an elbow, kinda twirl ur fingers dont make a fist

[fighterovich]

He should try to elbow with the open hand, it will less contract the muscles and the movement will be faster with a better amplitude and as the elbow is in contact only no need to use muscles as they teach in Thai Boxing.

[dickvanhynten]

Therefore u risk to injure your fingers if u get stucked in your t shirt or jacket so it´s the idea of making a fist to protect the fingers

[insaneoffoe]

krav maga uses basic movements and instincts, maybe it's kind of a natural reaction to make a fist when striking someone with your elbow and easier to learn.

probably a lot of krav maga things could be improved, but it's not a martial art, it's self-defence

[lolavengerlol]

U' can't know the power of Krav Magá

[SnipaFox]

yo yo

[Lordanubis1234]

I wish he would have gone into more depth

[TheRealJobe]

This instructor leaves a bit to be desired, havng your name on a Dojo doesnt make you a good instructor.

[TheseYeahThese]

Wow, you really don't know what krav is then do you?

[pavlek94]

fuxk...lloll--nobody didnt know that...little kid know how to use elbow

[cantwait2look]

May consider showing the situation where these elbow techniques would be used.

[LuckyBoLt37]

uhhh... he kinds did... "Target in front of you" "Target is behind you" ect...

[cantwait2look]

Yes, he does do that. I simply ment that if he had a partner grabbing him then I could see exactly how he was applying the techniques. Good feedback though, it will help me be clearer in my comments.

Continue to practice.

[zedio369]

Yeah well I know Tai-Bo!

[matthewmcewan]

number six lol about only usefull thing for doing that is if a chick ius givin u a blow and she aint doing it good enough just be like bang thats what yo ass gets for not being good at blowjobs ho!

[ElenaVasparez]

i've used all of those and they've all helped ... if you know what you're doing ...

[daBlade80]

nah dude. for that situation you break out the baby powder and pimp slap dat ho

[commandopengi]

finishing someone on their knees perhaps? a strike to the top of the head is going to hurt. its not as strong as the forehead

[mikeymoo27]

is techniqe no.5 justincase your be bummed by a rapist or summin?

[Cello1209]

I think one of the other videos shows it s being for getting out of a bear hug from the rear

[BSfanboy113]

or if the attacker gets you in a downward move.

[NAKMEEZY]

The elbows are way too stiff and his footwork is trash. The only good part is that he protects his head first.

[RIDDICKx56]

fag!!

[electronikita]

ummm perhaps some one-on-one with muay thi instructor could help him

[AznNikka911]

it not a good idea to make a fist

[timma1526]

that's only the case with number 1 and 6 elbow strikes

[kittypewpew]

Krav maga is all about natural movements, so its meant to be easy to learn but hard to master.

Indeed, Krav maga is a repetitive self defence. You need to do it a thousand times so it comes naturally when someone attacks you from any side.

[aaron4820]

yea you are totally correct...and what worries me is people walk out from a short krav maga course thinking that they can take on anyone... which just makes everything even more dangerous than it was.

[Superking23]

Yeah, i can vouch for this,

alot of my friends now have a false confidence from starting KM,

although they practise like crazy and when it comes too fighting and tech., having the right menality is half the fight and KM teaches them too be agressive and fast...so its not all bad

[macb855]

he is too stiff and ridg.ed in his stance...bend at the knees some to give better balance...lower your center..glad to see the defense hand up..most martial arts teach hands on the belt line which is insane. you will fight as you train so keep hand up and chin down

[azninvasion87]

he executes them properly, except he does not look backwards when striking with the backwards elbow

[timma1526]

very true and this is something we emphasize strongly in Krav.  Looking at this guy's videos he really has no idea what he is doing

[shatun1234]

cant believe it, him again, someone get this fake off the channel

[ssvideosyt]

THIS IS NOT FAKE! Even a 4 year old can do this, not that I'm downplaying KM it's just that easy to learn.

[timma1526]

hell ya
