How do i get a better kick to the knee?? I believe kicking the knee is the best choice, better even that kicking the groin, but how to i develop an effective knee kick?

Toward that end, the principals, or concepts are:

1. Address the immediate danger (remember - we are first and foremost a self defense system)

2. Simultaneously, or nearly simultaneously counterattack.

3. Continue attacking until the threat is neutralized.

The major distinction between Krav Maga and (most) other martial arts is the emphasis on street fighting, as opposed to competitions and spirituality, eastern or otherwise.

Also, because Krav Maga is among the most actively used fighting system used by US law enforcement and military units we get abundant feedback regarding what works and what doesn't in the actual hand to hand combat arena. This allows the system to mature and develop along with the real world.
