Krav Maga Self Defense Techniques : Straight Punch Techniques for Krav Maga

[MerchwithDan]

some good tips and some bad ones but mostly good ones.. the way he punches is the correct way to you just down want to lock up your shoulders.. locking up the shoulders is for boxing.. you want to keep a stance but don't make your body tight.. also when throwing the punch you shouldn't stretch out your arm all the way it could possible go this could cause injury to you and also not do as much damage as you intend to

[AbsolutelyCharged]

1:51 Facepalm.

[FrugalMummy]

Could you get a woman with longish nails to demonstrate what you are saying about the nails? this might help with our confidence. Also having an "every day" person (woman) would help show this working for the "common" person. Seeing you do it is great, and you slow it down and explain it clearly. The addition described would help boost confidence though.

[undeadtashi]

sounds like the great kali

[NutssHD]

240P High Quality ;D

[cginnette90]

[HisGrace71]

Lol

[celica92gt]

Why does he sound like Kermit the frog after puberty?

[TheHellOo]

that is the only partner i see that is willing to stand there and let himself have this guy punching, when i do it, everybodys afriad... and i havnt had anything bad happen like that

[1GuideYouHome1]

I'm learning self defense to protect myself from some bullies after school - got beaten up a few times - and this is really helping :)

[grinosmr]

Sounds like Andre the Giant's son

[fowl37]

I'm pretty sure your partner will die if you keep hitting his throat 0_o

[mrashour22]

stallone ? i thought he is will smith

[sambothebeast]

That is not how you should be doing a straight punch

[olmcgal]

I can't see the legs moves... basic combat is transfer as much mass as posible to punch. I can see that the same hand is attacking the same side leg is up front. Steve could you show that too?

[afromusician1]

A robber would be scared of krav magas voice

[XxShadowOfAgesxX]

I'm gonna use this against this guy who has been giving me shit.

[lekocafe]

Don't you want to punch that Allstate guy out?

[ChRIs23696]

id follow this guy into battle.

[Lucvanros]

who is stallone?

[chaunceyvioli]

@Lucvanros the guy who plays rambo

[Lucvanros]

@chaunceyvioli Did you just...?? no way!! hahaha

[fwed88]

I would not want to mess with these people.

[fanthor]

its almost like a wing chun punch

[Entaview12]

Wow his voice is so deep! :o

[itsCoreX]

his fist is bigger than my head xD

[rikisNR2]

This way you will not learn how to protect your self in streets!

[rikisNR2]

@rikisNR2

I took this lessons and now i can protect my self from bandits

[TheBroadyk]

@rikisNR2 Try Akido that's more based around self defense rather than direct fighting

[OfficialGlowbox]

@TheBroadyk Almost all aikido techniques involve fine motor skills. In an extremely stressful situation, such as a fight, you lose fine motor skills and can only perform gross motor skills, e.g. punching. Also real street fights are incredibly scrappy, and it is hard to get hold of a wrist. Aikido is a great tool, but personally i find it most useful for controlling my opponent once i have softened him up with strikes. For basic defence Krav Maga/Kapap is perfect.

[FearThisChannel]

@rikisNR2 LOL

[pedro8991]

@rikisNR2 go drink ur milk

[DrOprahVonPenishat]

@rikisNR2 Gypsies too.

[SlyMcNulty]

I'd be interested to know why the rotating punch used in many eastern martial arts isn't used. Is it simply that its simpler to learn, that it makes no difference, or that it's been found more effective?

[john1232145]

your asinan face is messed up

[Andriuxas9]

@john1232145 now he will track your home, blow in, and will rape ur face off :D

[Zichiable]

The other guy looks like he's having a hard time. I'd have crapped myself already! :)

[kwitmeh3]

Lol the video ends with, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

[jhonmickens]

i would hate to be the other guy!!!

[xzombielvisx]

a krav maga video without a ball kick?

son i am disappoint

[leightonransome]

Why is everything in krav maga ending up in groin kicks? What if its a woman?

[xjxm]

@leightonransome Son, female genitals are also very sensitive and will experience severe pain if struck forcefully, even resulting in bleeding.

Share the knowledge.

[leightonransome]

@xjxm I know how sensitive they are, but not nearly as sensitive as testicles

[xjxm]

@leightonransome Difference in "sensitivity" is irrelevant. A strike to a woman's genitals would hurt enough to stun her, like a man would be. Thanks for the comment.

[SuperNostalgic]

@xjxm Yeah that's what I was thinking. I'm a girl and I have walked on a beam before to practice balancing, I fell on my groin and it FUCKING HURT MY CLITORIS.

[xjxm]

@SuperNostalgic Real talk folks. Thanks for sharing. 

[SuperNostalgic]

@xjxm lawl.

[818TUCAN818]

bitch...get yo nasty hands out my face they smell fishy!

that would have been my reaction at the end lol

[swedishserbo]

Facts; KM is a mix of multiple MA's and developed in Israel for self defence and guerilla training - military.

Punching with only 2 instead of 3 knuckles will damage your OWN hand and wrist.

Judo, boxing, BJJ is more effective to use as self defense than ALL the kung fu disciplines put together.

snapping your fist and closing it the split second before impact makes it faster and harder.

[Nightzo]

@swedishserbo

Punching with 2 knuckles won't damage your hand and wrist if it follows a straight line to your forearm. Using 2 knuckles has a more devastating effect on your opponent as there's more pressure being exerted with your punch because the force of your punch is spread out over 2 knuckles instead of 3.

[swedishserbo]

@Nightzo I hope u know that your index, ring and pinky fingers are connected to each other, creating a stronger structure than your index+pointer will since those 2 aren't connected like that, ergo your knuckles will take damage if u hit a hard surface, such as the face, or you will injure your wrist, hitting on a softer surface.

Because you can't hold your wrist straight punching with your index+pointer

try on a concrete wall and see for yourself the cause of injury, hitting with 2 knuckles

[Nightzo]

@swedishserbo

I don't know the details but there has to be a reason why martial arts masters always say that it's best to hit with the first two knuckles and not the bottom three. In karate classes one of the first things that students learn about punching is to punch with the first 2 knuckles and keep the fist perfectly aligned with the forearm. After years of practice the punches will always be straight. Can you give me a link that explains the hand anatomy that you've stated?

[swedishserbo]

@Nightzo Well I know the the details, learned em from my mother who's a nurse, and my dad who was a pro boxer back in the day.

So no on your question, I can not provide u with a link.

Try moving your ringfinger without moving the index or pinky, and you'll see.

Furthermore, in boxing you do learn to punch with 3knuckles, cuz u learn to punch with a straight wrist.

You can't however punch with only 2knuckles and keep your hand and wrist in a solid line.

Karate-strengthen your body

boxing-fighting

[supernover8781]

1:50 that dude is like..."why does your hand smell like cum? cunt"

[MrPyro91]

@thegerf2000

hey im learning krav maga for amost half year and when

you punch your finger need to be realsed untile before the impact

so your musles will not be tense and your hend will go faster

[thegerf2000]

Just starting Krav Maga this week. Why do you want to leave the punch loose until just before impact? Thanks for the videos and information.

[shastacoop13]

this guy is left handed..... weirdo

[mightyPants]

When I first heard he said 'maybe if it's a woman', i thought why would a palm strike works better on a woman?!?! then i realized he meant if it was a woman striking :D

[BKKaye]

The first two knuckles is from karate but is wrong. Notice that he is trying to hit with the first two knuckles which bends the wrist in an unnatural way. The middle two knuckles is more correct. Experiment on a heavy bag and you will see for yourself.

[fixdeluxe1]

What I have found is that during most fights,striking is a hit and miss game.It's easier to dish out the damage in a clinch or hold,because then your target isn't evading you.

[GeorgyOMJ]

1:12 god is always up .

[aJAMALw]

FACE PALM!!!



[hopked]

why would you do this silly shit instead of boxing?

[thehorroristhc]

@hopked Because boxing wont help you on the street. Krav Maga isnt silly, its self defense.

[hopked]

@thehorroristhc That borders on being the most retarded comment ive ever read. HOW do you plan on punching someone in the throat if you cant land a jab? Learn how to box stop being silly.

[swedishserbo]

@thehorroristhc dude.... REALLY, have u ever trained boxing? boxing is one of the greatest MA's for self defense, a guy comes at u with a punch u just dodge and then counter, one punch N hes definitely down and out. think before u write aight

[thehorroristhc]

@swedishserbo Its not only self defence if someone is in front of you. If someone is behind your back, with a knife on yout throat, what would a boxer do?

[u01mph]

@swedishserbo What if he comes at you with a kick? Or tries to break a bottle over your head in a bar? Or his buddy comes up behind you? Boxing won't help much then. It's a sport, which relies on your opponent standing directly in front of you and following the Queensbury rules, same as you. Unfortunately the drunk skinhead and his pals in the bar aren't gonna follow the Queensbury rules. And that's when Krav Maga comes in,

[beau1452]

@hopked Because Krav Maga is the most deadly fighting style on the planet. Period.

[hopked]

@beau1452 no its not sorry. your getting ripped off if your paying someone to train you this poorly.

[beau1452]

@hopked Yes it is. Do some research. If you think boxing is more effective in any way, you are sadly misinformed. Boxing does hardly any damage to another person. It is the most deadly. Think about this, take your boxing lessons and then go find someone who is trained in Krav Maga, your eyes will definitely be opened.

[hopked]

@beau1452 No its not. I have done research and sadly enough from what you have stated here you have both of the following problems. 1. Do not understand aliveness nor know how to recognize dead training. 2. You are yet to realize that good fundamentals will help more in a fight then cheap tricks ever can. This can be realized with the simple fact that if you cant so much as land a jab good fucking luck poking someone in the eye.

[beau1452]

@hopked Ok, I agree. Good fundamentals are the guidelines for any martial art. I've seen more than this video and trained in the style with discipline. It is not just a quick eye gouge here and a quick finger fracture there, as you said "tricks". The art that I have trained in starts with using every part of your body as a weapon, what you see here is for more experienced trainees that have quick reaction time. Also, I wouldn't take anything from ^Rocky and Bullwinkle" here in this video.

[hopked]

@beau1452 Right its about learning the best way to use your body which we all have 2 arms 2 legs etc we are all human. No one hits harder then boxers. No one can control the clinch better then really good grecco roman wrestler no one can do better on the ground then a bjj artist. So why train krav maga? Which is just a hoj poj of crap from all of the above and stuff like knife deffence's from kung fu and crap like that. Why would you do that to your self?

[beau1452]

@hopked Well I did have a good reply for my side of the argument but my computer took a crap. Oh well, you have my respect for having a civilized disagreement, most people would have been vulgar and showed how unintelligent they are hahaha, so thank you.

[hopked]

@beau1452 Acting like that never helps get your point across so thank you as well.

[Sora2557]

Stallone does Krav Maga?

[Rafifanando]

@Sora2557 that's old man.. the question is: jackie chan does krav maga?

[Sora2557]

@Rafifanando lol I know, it kicks ass, I do it too, I just thought the guy looked like Sylvester Stallone

[Rafifanando]

@Sora2557 wow.. you does Krav Maga?? Amazing..

yeah i think jackie chan famous coz of his Karate.. and stallone is famous coz of his big muscle(#sounds like gay, but i'm not a gay)

[jokerisnomak]

@Sora2557 he does aikido

"here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and *assistant punches him in the face and knocks him out" :)

[bdrocky17]

Ive been through karate, tai qwon do, jujitsu, and krav maga. im acctually a 2nd degree black belt in karate. Ive done amature mma and ufc fighting events and i have to say krav is probably one of my most favorites when it comes to martial arts.

[InternetLad]

that guy doesn't look too pleased that he's got a hand stuck in his face.

[xxSinfulSoulxx]

I myself have always preferred the palm heel strike over punching.

[xxSinfulSoulxx]

@JyBlu Only upon contact with something that doesn't want to budge, the wrist is a pretty stong bone, and usually only breaks when encountered with twisting movements, not thrusting movements.

[kiritsakis1]

the puch at the neck isn;t a little dangerous??? I mean i want to defend my self but not to kill the guy... plz respond

[xxSinfulSoulxx]

@kiritsakis1 It depends on where you hit them, most punches will only knock out or stun the assailant, killing them usually only happens by accident, or occasionally on contact with the Adam's apple.

[Scipiothegreat]

1:49 epic facepalm?

[noel4140]

@Scipiothegreat

I loved how the video ended like that LOL

[TheRedDustDevil]

You guys are morons. Learn more, and listen more, he's trying to prove something.

[GiilmarSiilvaJr]

You are the Guile? '-'

[RmSlayR]

1:50 mmmm your hand smells nice

[davidbulldog12]

Poor dude got dissed all over his face and right when the camera cut off. :(

[goepfert2]

swedishserbo; you must not train much. I don't know this guy from a hole in the ground; however, the punching style is used often by Jeet Kune Do and Wing Chun students... I use it in certain applications; it helps keep the elbows in close to your body as well.

[theedenpapi]

u sound like the brother from everybody loves raymond

[yhe789]

Krav Maga its words in hebrow!!!!

does a word in english?! lol:P!!

[swedishserbo]

ok... was it JUST me who noticed his biggest error?

you do NEVER punch with your knuckles tilted to a side, NEVER.

They are always supposed to point upwards so that the back of the hand faces the sky.

Or else you are highly endangering yourself to get injured in the knuckles, and that aint good, especially not when your supposed to defend yourself. Geez!

[rotsebanotman]

@swedishserbo

I KNOW!!! HE'S RETARDED!

[FutureUSMC12]

@swedishserbo As long as you punch with your first two knuckles and with a straight fist you can punch like that without serious injury.

[SICKxBOYx88]

@swedishserbo

I believe in Kung Fu they use a punch like that

[Chieu3]

@swedishserbo It's slower and more difficult to engaged when the adrenaline kicks in.

[swedishserbo]

@Chieu3 go back to your gym, train some boxing, get great hands then come back and say that, u couldnt be more wrong with that comment. nuff said.

[clownparade1]

if he hits him to the throat with fist and face with palm, that dude is definetly dead

[dougharper12345]

why dont you turn your hand for more power / snap

[kamren41]

stop talkin weinus hole

[fBL0ND]

He sounds like Rocky Balboa a little.. (cant talk)

[adidasrulez09]

@fBL0ND

Maybe english isn't his first language?

[deadlycatthefirst]

apperantly, all citizens of isreal are supposed to be exposed to krav maga at one point of their life.

so yes, krav maga is for women too.

[TheAikidoBush]

@MrPlayerenz

Krav Maga was and still is developed for any gender and any age. So yes, however most martial arts are for women. So, you could train in Boxing & Aikido or Kick Boxing & Judo along with studying Krav Maga.

[perminow93]

So, i guess if thats straight punches, then slapping and clawing is gay punches :D

[MuayThaiViking]

@acaferg look at his T-shirt. it says KRAV MAGA...

also, jeet kune do is more a concept that a style.

[andreasss007]

@acaferg krav maga is a mixed technique used for self defence.IT takes mostly from aikido kung fu ( bruce lees style is based on that) jujitsu and many more :)

[ScorpionDBZ]

The title should be renamed. This is not self-defense, striking at the throat. That is lethal and if someone dies as a result, no matter what you say, in a court of law, you will be down for manslaughter.

Jujitsu, in my opinion is a more safer self-defense art. There are no strikes, its all about using the opponents power against them.

[MuayThaiViking]

@ScorpionDBZ what court of law are you talking about? a hook to the jaw can kill you, but if you are being attacked its perfectly fine. same goes for groin and throat strikes. it all depends on the situation

id rather learn a self defense system thats designed to safe my life, than a system thats designed to not violate the law, in the eyes of a sub-par judge with no sense of justice

[andreasss007]

@ScorpionDBZ u think? if sombody attacks u in the street with a knife and u kill him u ll get a penalty? Survival is what counts there are no rules in that kind of situation.And .. he intends to kill you anayway ?Its ur life or his live..

@TWENEER5 lol i dont even know what to say to that. Remember if i dont like you then i will kick ur ass for groping me lol jk.

[TWENEER5]

@ROSE101114 i was joking lol you cant kick my ass :P

[ROSE101114]

@TWENEER5 lol i figured. do u take any self defense classes?

[TWENEER5]

@ROSE101114 well i always wanted to take krav, But in my country its hard to find. My first Martial Art was eskrima, i quit it cause you wouldnt always have a stick and you're screwed if your opponent has faster hands, My second art was JKD i really put my training into that but i got into trouble lots of times leading me to a case, My Current Art is MMA cause i wanna join the urcc here. How about you?

[ROSE101114]

@TWENEER5 I did mma for a little while and took karate but that is stupid so i quit and i am taking classes in bjj and krav maga

[TWENEER5]

@ROSE101114 nice mixing bjj and krav thats the shit right there :bd where did you take bjj?

[MaharlikaAWA]

@ROSE101114 Karate is not stupid. You are stupid. Go tell GSP, Machida, and Anderson Silva that karate is stupid and see what happens. All of them did some form of Karate and have black belts in them before they did anything else. In fact GSP and Machida consider karate their base. You should be more educated about this stuff.

[TWENEER5]

@MaharlikaAWA Take it easy man, she's a lady. Unfortunately, karate is stupid by itself however if you combine it with judo or jujutsu (im not very familiar with that) that makes GSP Machida and silva. Its kinda stiff if you ask me, with all the fancy positions and the kicks and exhales, dont get me wrong, its strong but you need speed too.

[MaharlikaAWA]

@TWENEER5 You dont understand martial arts then. All of those fancy footworks, exhales etc all help you become better than a typical jock who learns how to punch. GSP would also say so. You dont understand the use of footwork, etc...Machida has knocked guys out with pure Karate techniques.

[TWENEER5]

@MaharlikaAWA I do actually, im no jock, I understand martial arts just not karate, for me i only take what is useful and discard what is useless. - JKD. I mean you gotta admit not all of karate is useful, i only find the strengthening of the fists useful. btw, you filipino? Cuz iam.

[MaharlikaAWA]

@TWENEER5 No i am not Filipino. I just appreciate the culture and have been to the country and all my friends are FilAm.

Anyway Karate has plenty of useful techniques more so than not. Also Bruce Lee founder of JKD also appreciates Karate and knew some was useful.

[TWENEER5]

@MaharlikaAWA i did heard of cocky karate blackbelts that bruce lee beat up oh and also featured in his movies, unfortunately how karate is depicted in US is just like taekwondo, Fancy shit for little kids to learn, and like those chuck norris people who think the know karate they will never amount to anything but being posers.
