Krav Maga Choke With A Push Defense

[redtib2003]

@dzihouchan

watch the video at 0:33...that's how the technique is suppose to really look. His arms arent high there.

[xzombielvisx]

what if he lifts you off floor with his choking grip shorty? and laughs at your puny arms trying to break free then drops you off a cliff?

it could happen..

[RustyX94]

That would not work if the attacker actually had a strong choking grip on you

[dzihouchan]

The move is good and relatively simple, but it seems more dangerous to me as he's opening his guard by holding his arm so high. I personally prefer the choke defense taught in 'Human Weapon', as it also has a counterstrike too

[kravmagamodena]

@dzihouchan Problem here is the push. If you counterattack immediately with a front kick or a knee strike while being pushed backwards, you'll end up falling to the ground with your attacker on top of you. And you definitely do not wanna go there on the street.

The defense you mentioned about is excellent and very effective (not to mention instinctive) when used against a static choke from the front.

[ILukeLuke]

Disco fever! Lol, just sprung to mind when he threw his arm up

[dynamitex2000]

BOOM

[yodaddyxx]

if i get a death grip on your throat, there's no stopping me

[sniperpistol50]

@yodaddyxx doubt full. krav is taught to the FBI IDF and is the main block of MCMAP. its taught to stop men that could make (if he were real) Jason bourne look like a dumbass. Krav is one of the best styles because its simple, effective, and is constantly changeing, because it takes every singel style's ideas, points, strengths and everything else literally from a to z of fighting. if something doesnt work theyll do another in a split second.

I tryed this on my grandmother when she tryed to hug me it was very helpfull

[wuboyblue]

As a Combat SAMBO instructor all I can say is dobraye...

[DblOSmith]

I like this instructor. He's probably my favorite. Nice video!

[johnnyrainbow123]

This method is very helpful and teaches a lot, but it doesn't help if the attacker is gripping you near the neck, then you cant break away.

[degeneratedock]

I remember him from college... Great guy, intelligent, and friendly... At 5'4 or thereabouts, he could kick ass back then...

[scottla78]

it seems that 90% if krav vids are from a choke either from the side,behind.or front....why the hell you gonna let somebody close enough to choke you??????

[Mixx1290]

@scottla78 I have been in this situation personally. I am a DJ and deal with drunk ppl A LOT. The reason someone gets close enough to choke you is you are A) Surprised and didn't see it coming or B) Trying to deesculate the conflict and trying NOT to get into a fist fight. Any martial arts mantra is to use your art as a last defense; don't start shit End IT. For me, a drunk guy will come up and start shit with me and only getting verbal: I try to calm him down but I'm ready if he chokes me, etc.

[TheAikidoBush]

@scottla78

Because Krav Maga is about 'Close Combat'. Besides there are allot of different techniques and situations that Krav Maga teaches. The main one is adrenaline control. I do agree about what your saying, but then again in a fight people just go wild and attack, however this if when you get attacked. Fights and Being The Victim Of An Attack are different things. In a fight if someone tried this, you wouldn't let them get close. If your walking the streets, then it's a surprise attack.

[1245TA]

@scottla78 Because many common street thugs' first move is to control its victim, by choking or grabbing the limb.. In that situation the victim is trying to escape/survive, its probably by using verbal communication or physical confrontation.. Hence, krav maga is showing the basic stuff to survive in this situation if needed.. And basic is all you need to get creative in further situation..

It's not like you ask the attacker to choke you, that's just dumb..

[MrOsiris201088]

Nice, that is a far better method than I have seen used in other online examples. Seems that the move taught and methods used differ dependant on who is teaching, everyone has their own particular style built on the same base moves and tactics.

[SlightlyNotorious]

bjj is ineffective in real life situations. Very effective in a ring against a single opponent. And Krav Maga has jiujitsu in it. Its an amalgamation of other martial arts and grappling is included in that.

[LilBo10]

im level 2 and i did this stuff like early in level 1...

[catalinaguerrero]

bjj is more effective than km.

[kravsystems]

Unless the attacker has a gun, knife, stick, friend etc. etc. BJJ wins in one on one situations. NEVER against multiple attackers. One is a sport one is a tactical system for self defence. Don't confuse the two!

[bradleybravo]

not in a fight against more then one person bjj would not help you against more then one perosn attacking you

[sirkai007]

not on your life it isn't. BJJ is a sport like gymnastics or swimming.

[hc69]

dum ass

[MrIronLaw]

sure it is, when you're not getting stabbed or your head kicked in from the friend(s) or homie(s) you never noticed caused you're in the guard setting up for the triangle choke or arm bar.

[TSM9356]

i cant take americans seriously., good choke defense though, it ends up hurting their wrists

[nik0la007]

krav maga is not american!

[RicStudios]

@nik0la007 No it's not. It's Israeli. What's the big deal?

[swissarmy7]

What the hell are you talking about?

[a11natura1]

wow that guy is like 5'2, lol. but i dont doubt he could totally kick my ass.

[realmasterchief]

:( he made fun of level 1s. I'm a level 1...lol. But, I already do it like he does it here. They actually taught us to do it like this (I think). It has to be simultaneous and explosive.

[PompousFlea]

haha, I'm a lvl 1 too

[Rtv03]

Beautiful man, just beautiful.

[BocaDeporJuve]

I love his technique for when he breaks the choke hold. It looks like he's getting a bout of Saturday Night Fever.

[Zhi8606]

lol you guys are level 2 now

[ciwelek1987]

siktir lan ölüyodum a.q.(shit. ı am death fuck!!!)

[kogaryuninjitsu]

Shit if only life was so simple.

[Jarda44]

I could know this simply by WATCHING IT!!! i like simple and effective, thats why i like krav.

[Ben1987X]

@Jarda44 I am more a maga guy myself..
