but in most krav maga classes worldwide. there is this freakin belt system. and in the real world that doesnt matter. in this so called white belt stage, you learn this and that. it shouldnt be

The SDTS gives you only one skill set for hundreds of possible scenarios

Krav Maga requires you to shift focus from weapon to attacker than back to weapon again

The SDTS has no real shift focus, after you clear the weapon it's attack, attack attack

The SDTS knows that not all strikes hit there mark and trains you to continue your counter attack until the threat is gone

@jessewilliams007 HAHAHAHA. the dont use instinct reactions. i have known people who tried to disarm the weapon. they 99% failed. if you kill the shit out of the attacker then he wont have the energy to use the weapon. a weapon is just another ordinary thing, but because of the wielder it turns out to be dangerous.krav uses both finite and gross motor skills, while the sdts he system i believed in only uses gross motor skills.

@zaitovssilencer first off, they're not really saying you need to have a black belt to do this. secondly, Krav Maga uses the instinct reactions and makes them more effective. thirdly, "remember not to attack the weapon but the wielder" is a terrible strategy because you should ALWAYS address the danger first. If you attack the attacker first they still have the knife! it's far better to take the weapon out of the equation and then deal with the attacker.

[zaitovssilencer]

truly wrong. there is a system called self defense training system that is more versatile and powerful. you dont need to be a black belt or do this attack. the concept is decide plan and act. it uses gross motor skills. for this skill are hard to use under stress. always remember not to attack the weapon but the wielder

@SuperOwni

This technique is specific only to the situation shown, when someone sticks a knife to your throat from behind, there are different solutions to different problems.
