Krav Maga Worldwide Sherman Oaks - Fight Class

[TheLamborghini7]

yeaaahhhhhhh Israel!!!!!!

[Joseph4Lakers]

For any of you guys who can't read this is a "fight class" at Krav Maga worldwide they have authentic Krav maga, fitness, and fight class. Fight class is kickboxing, bjj, mma and so on. This is NOT Krav Maga but KM worldwide teaches authentic km.

[kohanjin]

Isreali martial arts should be called Jew-Do. this is just Hapkido minus uniforms!

[Hoopermazing]

Clearly they are still compensating for the humiliation they suffered at the hands of Sie Germans.

[kwakiutlthunderbird]

I don't see any krav maga technics?! Only basic fight technics, like fighting stance, round house kicks, low kicks etc etc

[legendof]

Krav Maga is Hap Ki Do for Israelis...

Nothing new except the title on the paycheck

[standah3oh3lovers2]

Hey idiots. I train Krav at this studio, I'm 14, and I'm brown belt going for my black. This isn't a hard-core class they're filming. It's called a beginners class. We don't want them to puke yet. And trust me, these guys aren't fakes...

[hipopotan1992]

What a garbage krav maga training. Wtf was that? If it is training it really sucks ;)

BTW: I'm training krav maga too,so i'm not hater :D

[andrademeza]

@hipopotan1992 im pretty sure this is a straight beginner course maybe. And also keep in mind that training centers in us are "softer" than other places because the us is such a sue-happy country.

[Al3KzZ]

information for those who want traditional krav maga and not this aerobic kind of kick boxing search only,ikma of gidon,ikmf of yanilov and moyal and kmf of haim zut and mizrachi.and for those clowns who exploit naive middle class anti terrorism freaks sitizens by saying learn in 3 months to kick asses in the streets fuck off.krav is effective but you need to put your soul in this to master it.

[TheUgochukwu]

@Al3KzZ So true. I have been practicing Krav for about 2 years full time under the IKMF. Its hard, but definitely effective, plus the higher the grade you go, the more aggressive it gets.This definitely looks like a beginners class.

[Al3KzZ]

too bad you are an aerobic class american posers.real krav is hardcore and traditional.go to a class like this and learn absolutely nothing.those guys are jokes.they just want your money.those who thumb this are naive or dont know nothing about this brilliant system

[getduloh]

@Al3KzZ krav maga worldwide was founded by darren levine, who learned krav maga from its inventor, so i have a feeling an instructor with kmw knows what they are doing... but thats just an assumption i suppose

[RhadeConstantine]

gotta love the intro lol

[MikeTheLama]

The intro was awesome.

[TrippinTits]

omg that workout looks intense!!! i wanna do this... but idk if there are any krav maga trainers around where i live :(

[nonzero123]

lol puss

[BX06]

the video isnt good. Sorry.

[Taurus8763]

Krav Maga is raw self defense.......they can't call themselves martial artists but would defeat a martial arts player very swiftly......

[TangomanX2008]

from what I've seen, some Krav Maga centers refer to it as a martial arts, and other say that its not a martial art (look up the website of krav maga centers across the us and you'll see what I mean). Some Krav Maga centers crosstrain with other fighting systems (like muay thai or taekwondo).

[baitcat]

@Taurus8763 But isn't that martial arts. I mean a lot of martial arts today have been adapted to fit sport situations for example Japanese Jiu Jitsu has been adapted to Judo and BJJ. I do both Japanese Jiu Jitsu and Krav Maga and this is what I call Martial arts. The others are sport martial arts.

[OEFvet1986]

@Taurus8763 Their not martial artists? Anyone who trains for realistic fighting or self defence with or without weapon could be considered a "martial artist". martial art= arts of Mars (the Roman god of war)

[wex313]

@Taurus8763 No, i'm pretty sure Shoalin Kung Fu monks would murder them.

[1party87]

this slow-mo sux

[DanTL07]

we had an instructor in the family, he showed me some basics. I've done about 4 self-defense styles before this, I really liked it more the the rest so far, something I'd really incorporate, along with muay tai and bjj, and of course tapping into anger issues lol

[michellelfixit]

krav maga is no different to any thing else out there....whats all the fuss about???

[GarethBrohier]

yeh the kicks are just muay thai

[nyclear]

its different because it focuses on real situations only. if you take a karate class you wont know what to do when you get taken to the ground. If you learn Bjj and you cant take someone down you wont know what to do. If you take boxing and bob you will get creamed by kicks or takedowns. MMA classes are the closest thing by putting it all together but in those they work within certain rules of the sport which don't apply in real life.  Also won't know what to do against a knife or gun.

[genecyten]

I wish I had Krav Maga :-( I leave 200 miles from closest school.

[violentbuddha]

where do you live? the desert? check google again, man.

[DaAvi8a]

Buy a book and team up with a friend. It's just as good and you can learn at your own pace.

[DrGreenSticky]

DaAvi8a... I'm sorry, but you are sorely mistaken. There is NO SUBSTITUTE for learning from an actual instrutor. You try to do it just from a book and you're gonna get yourself killed, my friend.

[DaAvi8a]

If there isn't an instructor within 200 miles anything will have to do.

There are no instructors in the city I live in neither, so I had to resort to teaming up with a mate and learning by the book...

Maybe it isn't better then being with a qualified instructor, but who cares. =]

[brucenatelee]

I have a krav maga book and it only shows kicks that aim at the legs only. I knew you could kick at least waist high. This is probably the most practical martial art today. Not easy, but almost anybody can learn it.

[aleejacopo]

km is not a martial art is a system

[goldenmocca]

weakling!

[tomttom12345]

these guys except for the instructor are pretty bad, must be a begginer class

[SusovanGhosh]

Yes.This technique is taught in the Practitioner-1 level (that is the 1st level).You can see that most of the guys can't even make a proper fist. An advanced student in Krav Maga is much more dynamic and Agressive.

[brucenatelee]

Different martial arts teach different things. Joe Lewis became a black belt in only about 7 months learning karate in Japan.

[EVILTOASTERS]

Yeah, I take Krav and I agree with you on this. These kicks are mostly taught for athleticism, and at the place I go to they spend very little time on them, and far more time teaching kicks and techniques we would actually use.

[rapidsandstorm]

The reason is because Krav Maga doesn't focus on kicking. It's majority punches, elbows, knees, stuff like that. One reason they don't is that they do not want to give any person a chance to grab your leg while you are kicking.

[rapidsandstorm]

Drewki...you're right as well. A good kick would do some serious shit do you if you tried to grab it. However, from what i understand, that is the main reason why kicking isnt focused on as much. but, if it works, use it cuz we are talking about self-defense afterall

[cinofiloar]

Eccolo!!! eheheheheh un altro pompato mentalmente e con la palestra carina... business con un nome...Krav Maga, e molti(non tutti) non ringrazziano le altre arti marziali che hanno dato le tecniche, visto che è un misto di arti marziali, sarebbe da ipocrita bastardo, va be il mondo fa schifo dappertutto

[jockstrappers]

It don't matter what the sport is related to, as long as it teaches you to kick ass. Peace out

[PuRpLexHaZe420]

yeah krav maga was developed by a man called imri he was a jewish man and he based it the most common movement of the human body so its very easy and practical i practice it and i love it worth every penny

[devilboy96bch]

theres no r in his name i know i take krav maga and we have to bow to a picture of him

[smorgasen]

krav maga is related to islam

[Abejohngud]

You are related to fail.

[codewow2]

then you tell me what its related to and what KM really is.

[devilboy96bch]

its related to isreal you retard its what the israely army uses

[smorgasen]

so you are retarded?

[devilboy96bch]

no u are

[C000kieMonster]

arent u guys just a mature bunch?

[delikanligenc66]

its look like wing tsun

[flbk8597]

From the looks of it, Krav Maga has got elements of Aikido, Wing Chun and and Muay Thai in it.

[FOREXMAN72]

i took krav maga also n it really usedfull.

[jaderrockshard]

Krav Maga is jewish?

[kobudofighter34]

its self defense not a religion and think if jews took this then they would came after you

[Nakhio]

everyone why thumps down to jaderrockshard? i thought it was jewis too because of the star of david

[prince49]

Its highly apparent that they're beginners, just pay attention to the female's inside block, she didn't move her head relative to her block, she just stood there.

[Kravfighta47]

Krav Maga is not an art form it's self defense plain and simple. Proper form is important mainly to generate power. All of our strikes are supposed to be devastating. The goal is to completely incapacitate the attacker so you can get away safely. And remember there are no rules in Krav Maga so it doesn't matter what kind of kick it is as long as it works to your advantage and makes sense for the defense.

[Hobbitgoth]

True, it's simple and based off real human reflexes. It's easy to retain a lot of the moves. I haven't taken any professional training, and even I can do some of the defense/counter-attack moves.

[Fearmongerer]

those kicks are actually not typical of krav maga... we dont like kicking high where the leg can be caught... i suspect they were just trying to warm up/stretch out in those drills.

[fergal1980]

to the ppl going on about how bad the kicks look you must not do martial arts as you would kno by this video these are beginners in a self defence class ..

[rakatikie]

blah blah blah, exploiting peoples fear for money

giving the empresion you cant walk over the street without a martial art training

[kmxbox]

Just for the record...Imi did not like the idea of people bowing to his picture.A simple acknowledgement was prefered.

Also..its redundant for the students to say Kida...its like the teacher saying "bow!" and then the students responding with "bow!"

[DangerousDan2]

Damn, Krav Maga's kicks are pretty bad compared to most other Martial Arts kicks.

[CaydensDad]

Yeah Muay Thai style round house kicks are so ineffective. I mean theres no jump spinning wheel kicks, no flashy axe or hook kicks to the head what were they thinking?? Wheres a good outside crescent when you need it?

[DangerousDan2]

You must be mad cause you're one of the guys in the vid..lol To bad this school is EXTREMELY sloppy!!! those are some pretty crappy roundhouse kicks and for you to compare these kicks to Muay Thai is a joke.

[CaydensDad]

Na I'm not mad, and no I'm not in the video. I was just being sarcastic.

Most of the people in the video probably are just beginners. Krav kicks are actually based on Muay Thai roundhouse's. I do know that instructor and he did have a pretty good career as a kickboxer when he was younger. Like I said I think the students in the video are probably just average folks learning so just cut them a little slack is all.

Sorry if my sarcasm came across as hostile.

[DangerousDan2]

I think you're right CaydensDad, They probably are just beginners, But hey if it gets them in shape and they feel like they're improving good for them. It just seems a little sloppy to me cause my style has alot of deep stances And is Very Strict and Disciplined, Everything has to be sharp. But to each their own.

[Xazuim]

hahahahahahaha rofl guard. what happend to their guards???

[EpicurusThirteen]

This video is actually pretty cool. I enjoyed the cinematography
