Is Krav maga similar to this ?

[mattkovsky]

@912tennis Great question. Original Krav was based on simple World War II Close Quarters Combat and was very effecive--to a point. Modern Krav has many variations and no one school may resemble any another. All are based on patterned self defense techniques. Guided Chaos uses enhanced WWII CQC as a beginner's starting point but its main methods use free-form, totally unpatterned fighting focusing on balance, body unity, power, looseness, sensitivity and adaptability. It's much closer to tai chi.

@mattkovsky Krav Maga was NOT based on WWII CQC. It developed before World War II.

[mattkovsky]

@nozislovenija This is a point of contention among authorities with some saying Imi was influenced by Fairbairn and Sykes material while he was developing his own system and others saying it was completely independent. Regardless, overlap did occur and their goals and methods have much in common due to nearly parallel development fighting Nazis and/or enemies of Israel.

@912tennis

Thanks Matt. I'll have to order some dvds and try guided chaos for myself.

@912tennis Feel free to email us or post anytime with questions on the material. Also look on our website for local GC training groups in your area.

Still not convinced... I heard the same arguments form TMA guys. "oh you don't understand the subtleties...". Well, I've had experience in real violence, not to mention many years of training - so thats what I base my opinions on. I appreciate the offer about popping down to the studio - but I live very very far away. I still think you guys should get some full contact demos up there, it may stop some of the flak.

To quote Carl Sagan "extraordinary claims, require extraordinary proof".

bruce lee said the same thing, good video

AWARENESS, ATTACK THE ATTACKER & RUN. IMPROVISATION - vs - MEMORIZATION. The exercises are really nice for keeping loose and for fitness, which everybody needs. The ALL OUT mindset & the DON'T GRAPPLE concept are what makes it different from MMA. There is NO TIME FOR ANYTHING ELSE. You cannot pace yourself like if you were boxing or sparring, you HIT & RUN. This is a system for the street. Combine MMA with Kali & Ki Chuan Do and you will not go wrong.

[MrEdium]

One of the main differents between MMA & Ki Chuan Do is The MINDSET. The next thing is the concept of awareness. There is no pace, it's ALL OUT AGGRESSION, ATTACK THE ATTACKER MINDSET. You do not have time to do any complicated moves to remember just ATTACK, then RUN. Now the only problem I see is if your a Police Office or just anyone who has to control and not do damage to someone who may be attacking you like a drunk brother or a mental pacient, you still need grappling skills. MMA/KALI/THIS.

@boomslang7 We have classes in Nanuet NY. Some of our students drive from Boston for Saturday class. Our goals are different than MMA: we train dirty "illegal" moves exclusively and how to counter them. No legal ring in the U.S. would sanction it. if it was in the street it would be for a serious reason and people would wind up with doctors and lawyers. There are methods for seeing how this works without injury; hope to see you.

@mattkovsky In a ring or on the street, either one. Sure, any classes near MA? Im open to checking things out.
