How would you defend yourself if you were already injured? Today we worked on just that. Level 1 techniques, but with one arm disabled! If you want to get more out of your krav training, don't miss our Krav Skills class happening every second Saturday each month from 11am-1pm, included with your monthly membership. We'll get you sweating, smiling, and thinking outside of the box with creative drills and dynamic scenarios. Next one takes place October 10th - don't miss it!

[This was originally written by our friends at FIMA]

Here is a question that starts more arguments in dojos than almost any other. Is Krav Maga a martial art or a self defense system? The honest answer is that the distinction matters more than the label, because confusing the two is how skilled people get hurt.

A martial art, in the traditional sense, is a discipline. It has lineage, ritual, forms, and often a sporting or competitive element, and it develops the practitioner over a lifetime. A sport like boxing or competitive BJJ has rules, weight classes, referees, and a clear win condition. Self defense has none of that. There are no rules, no referee, no rematch, and the other person did not agree to anything. The goal is simply to go home.

This is why a champion in a ruleset can sometimes struggle in a real assault, and why someone with crude but reality tested skills can do fine. The sport trains you brilliantly for the sport. Self defense trains you for chaos, surprise, and the absence of fairness. Krav Maga deliberately plants its flag on the self defense side. It is not trying to be beautiful or sporting. It is trying to be effective when nothing is fair.

Martial art, lifelong discipline, tradition, and development.
Combat sport, skill under agreed rules with a referee and a win condition.

Self defense, no rules, no warning, no rematch, just get to safety.
This does not make martial arts or combat sports lesser. They are wonderful, and they build attributes, timing, toughness, composure, that absolutely help in a real situation. The mistake is assuming that trophies equal street readiness, or that street readiness equals discipline and character. They are different games that happen to share some moves.

Know which game you are training for on any given day. When you spar for sport, enjoy the art. When you train Krav Maga, remember the only rule that matters is the one that gets you home.

Train hard, stay safe, keep it real,

Hey all () - due to sickness, we have to cancel tomorrow’s free women’s self defense class. We are sorry for not being able to provide this class this month. The next one will be July 11th from 10-11am. We hope you can make that one instead.

Just throwing this out there (it’s slightly modified from a post I saw and “stole” because it was a good one). - Dennis

Regarding Krav Maga, please keep the following in mind:

1.) Krav Maga has nothing to do with Trump or the America First movement. We are not a political organization. Not everything is political. If you have an opinion, we can talk about it offline and in person over a cup of coffee.

2.) Just because I teach Krav Maga, does not mean I represent the Israeli government. I don’t want to hear your Pro Palestinian or Pro Israeli talking points. I do want to see peace and I am not an expert on the subject. If you are an Anti Semite or think Israel is the root of all evil (both sides seem to be full of this perspective now), keep it to yourself.

3.) If you do BJJ and you love it, Guess what? So do I. Krav Maga is just one aspect of my journey. Just because you took some classes once does not make you qualified to declare everything you don’t understand or practice unrealistic. And no, you probably won’t tap out everyone at our school. We teach ground defense and a lot of us cross train BJJ.

4.) Women can defend themselves against men. The misogynistic comments I see and hear for posted videos of a women demonstrating a self-defense technique against a man are mind boggling. Is a woman going to get in a cage and beat up a man twice her size? Probably not. But I have taken kicks from women that stopped me right in my tracks. A self defense incident is a sudden burst of violence. The attacker does not know what you know and you don’t know what they know. You don’t have to win, you just have to do enough to create space and get to safety. Men who attack women are not brave. They are cowards. A violent trained response from a woman can absolutely catch a man off guard and help her create enough space to escape.

5.) Most people that use the term BULLSHIDO don’t know 🐂💩 from BUSHIDO. Most people who use the term MCDOJO have not been in enough Dojos to know the difference. Most legitimate life long martial artists don’t talk like this. Don’t throw that shade our way. I’ve paid my dues and so have my students.

6.) I have been doing multiple martial arts for more than 40 years and I am more open minded than I have ever been. I’ve been privileged to train with and learn some of the best martial arts, including Krav Maga and BJJ Instructors in the world. Most martial arts can work and have value. I see techniques all the time that are different than what I teach that I find fascinating and potentially effective. I rarely see techniques I would publicly criticize or dismiss. I believe the more you learn in martial arts, the more humble and open minded you should become. Comment less. Train more. Try it!

7.) I don’t care about the likes to comment ratio! Don’t point it out to me and act like you win the day because you and a bunch of trolls pile on the comments and memes. I have an amazing wife and family, a loving God, a successful school and an awesome team and Instructor community I’m plugged into. Those are the places I find my validation. Each post is not a Basketball game. In my limited understanding, more comments can mean the content gets seen more (including by open minded people who can benefit). So like the Emperor in Return of the Jedi, we can feed off your hate. 😊 If you think Krav Maga is lame, try ignoring us.

8.) If you wouldn’t say it to my face. Don’t say it through an anonymous comment. People have become way too accustomed to criticizing and insulting people with no backlash or repercussions. To quote Iron Mike, “Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it." No. I’m not going to find you and fight you. But commenting like this is not good for your soul or character. Let’s all try and be better!

Did you make it all the way through this post? Congratulations! 😆 Please like if you agree with any of these perspectives. Feel free to comment if you have any advice or suggestions. 🙏
