Krav Maga basic choke from the side defense.

[AmigoCarlitoo]

IKMF grabs differently for knee attacks and also uses a different elbow, vertical instead of orizontal in this technique. Just saying...

[IrelandMuayThai]

I have a question though, isn't it more likely that they will push as appossed to just standing there?

[1stNightingale]

I find him cocky. I was taught the same technique by a much nicer clearer and respectful IDF trained Krav Maga Instructor. Dont need to act like your class are idiots. Describe the whole thing first them tell them why you do stuff then quiz them. quizzing them before they know what you are doing defeats the point of them coming to classes. Its to learn not to guess.

[Galleon1235]

I would really like to know how many people out there have had someone walk up and try to choke them from the side in this manner. If you are going to make a technique, then have it apply to real life situations.

[sergehoehn]

Thank you! I learned something from this video and wanna give you something back.

With the right grip [attacker] it's not possible, because you will hurt [or kill] yourself if you move the opponents hand.

Don't let somebody in your private zones, except you do want it so.. :D

[cmhfender]

if someone was choking me like that id rather just pull my knife out to take care of him.

[NickySixThirty]

@cmhfender if someone was trying to choke ME like that, id laugh at him

[BeachBum2OO7]

I had friends who took this along with Aikido, Jiu Jitsu and Karate and being a wrestler (average at that) all my life took them down and controlled them on the mat. The basic flaw with this is that the majority of the time the initial engagement is a strike. So unless the attacker begins in these positions it renders itself useless, though it does add confidence, fitness and mystique if a person should know this, but a decent grappler will dominate this technique constantly

[NakedSteak]

@BeachBum2OO7 How many attackerss on street are trained grapplers? Of course a grappler will be better in grappling. Same goes for boxers. they will be better in box than most of Krav Maga practioners and also grapplers. It is just the focus of the training that people do. Krav Maga is much more complex, therefore Kravers train so many other things than just grappling, so a grappler, who trains only grappling will be better in it.

[surfkrav]

@BeachBum2OO7 as a wrestler what do you do with 3 attackers?

[blahmeblahblahblah]

LOVE the simplicity!

[ogmilklegit]

my krav has no belts goes by levels but yeah its pretty intense no breaks non stop action great fighting system when taught right for sure all tho i dont agree with some of the tactics but you gotta do what you gotta do and their isint much other training like it

[benmma2009]

Must try a class before commenting!

[deceptivepanther]

Krav Maga makes a virtue out of simplicity which is definitely a good policy. However in my martial arts experience where one instructor is simplifying a move another will find it necessary to add complexity to deal with some issue. This is where KM's marketing kicks in. No matter what KM is right. Blah, blah, blah. Krav Maga is designed for soldiers, that's young men and women, many of whom are totally disinterested and all of whom will subsequently be issued with an AR15 or Tavor. Nuff said.

[chufce]

get off your fat ass and learn it you internet wannabees.real tough behind your keyboard you losers.

[Nizzy90210]

SITTING IN KRAV??? I'm training for orange belt and we aren't even allowed to sit while on our 1 min break. This likely level 1 beginning.

[hall0ween138]

I think it would be more effective to "pluck" or to break the attackers hold on his neck.. then just toss a quick head bunt to the right.. that would def daze the attacker quicker than having to groin strike and then reach for an elbow.. imo

[soadfan1224]

that's how you learn you idiot

[bigpimpinmma]

if only krav maga really worked. just like communism works only in theroy.

[duncanidaho17]

If only your brain really worked.

[Virility]

Except that Krav Maga does work.

[MrJord42]

you go try and take over isreal, and than say krav maga doesnt work.

[MountedDragoon]

@MrJord42 Here's what I wanna see: Krav Maga Nuclear Attack Defense. No groin to kick on a bomb.

[SlightlyNotorious]

Find me a martial art that's more applicable to real life.

[Sextroyer]

krav maga aint no politics

[builder20]

"if only krav maga really worked. just like communism works only in theory."

So what works then?

[Zephnyr01]

I choked myself like this the other day just to see how it feels....I krav magaed myself.

[abraham12345]

hahahahahahahahaha

[thefreshicepack]

THIS IS GOOD SHIT!!!!!

[muaythai4ko]

how often people choke like that now aday?

[soadfan1224]

True, it doesn't happen as often but hey if it ever happens to you, that was a minute worth watching

[damnfake]

People are actually sitting during a Krav class! Blasphemy.

[koru2]

The students are asked to take a knee or sit so that everyone can see clearly. Remember this is not a traditional Martial art, so standing at attention or sitting in seiza is not required as it would be in a Karate or Aikido Dojo.

[dethlyill]

i know what you mean. Get up lazy people!

[jacobestes]

I think it's to keep them from accidentally shooting their arms out and shit.

[rockmerewoodsman]

that would work, but very few people actually choke like that. most people would get up close and choke, not hold their arms out straight in front.

[realmasterchief]

True. But it would still work, and that groin strike would come a lot faster.

[ogmilklegit]

@rockmerewoodsman yeah your right this isint a common thing but it can happen this is also a low level choke when you get father they teach same angles but more complicated choke holds that are more prone to happen

[skeetzo]

does krav maga mean "hit balls"?

[ZicoCirola]

HAhahahah very nice, every video has the Hit BAlls scene

[fightorflight2]

in one word... 'yes'

[carlosmangela]

well explained.
