Master the Art of Self-Defense: Krav Maga Masterclass with Moti Horenstein

[@billyscott5241]

Moti is a great guy that I met in Japan in the 90s he knows his stuff very respectful guy Im glad I had opportunities to meet such knowledgeable people.

[@Cletus_the_Elder]

He instructs in the implications of simple movements, in context. I love this kind of instruction. It has the best chance of being employed in real life situations, because it is simple and grounded. The expert will be able hang more onto these techniques and use them more efficiently, but the novice will be able to incorporate the mindset and the basis for the movements.

[@johncollinowensy4255]

When I was learning martial arts, I once said that in a real life situation you’re not going to greet your attacker. My instructor told me that the reason we do greetings and stuff is to gain the moral high ground. To prove that you’re “better” than the one attacking you. Basically like getting on a high horse. Doing that just puts you on a higher level than them. Of course, there are times when you won’t be able to, such as if you’re ambushed and you don’t have time to think, but for the most part, I find it very true. Sometimes street kids would pick a fight with me (because I’m well dressed so they assume I’m rich and try to extort money, I assume) and instead of answering their provocations, I just reply with hello/good day to you. Need anything from me? Not only did it make me feel, well, “higher” than them, it also let me buy time and watch their reactions. Once you look at them and how they react to the greeting, you can kind of tell what kind of people they are. Maybe they’ll look confused because you’re not cowering, or maybe they greet back too, or maybe they’ll just go straight for the beat down. It tells you on whether or not they’re confident in themselves, or if they know what they’re doing, or if they just want a fight. And if they reciprocate and it doesn’t look like they want a fight, maybe you can resolve it diplomatically. Once they just wanted my money for some food or medicines. I gave them some cash and told them to buy some stuff for me and them at a nearby store. When they did that, I paid them with some more cash and told them good job, thanks. I mean, I might as well teach them how to properly work for their cash… right? Communication skills. How else did humanity become what it is today?

[@brandongreen722]

You can tell by the students these people have been bullied since day one and need this confidence boost and training. But another key factor added to this is muscle definition. 8/10 times shuts down confrontations if you look stronger and plus the strength will keep you from being moved around like a rag doll or stopping someone strong from grabbing you.

[@veritatisamica]

My friend, I teach my clients self-defense, and MMA also Ihave13 years of experience with street fights as I am on frontline in dangerous places. Just one free piece of advice: when you strike elbow, your shoulder should be higher to cover your jaw. Also, your forearm should go on your own face level. This will protect your face from the counterattack in case you miss or your opponent is quicker.

[@bowlineobama]

In the street fights, try not to go to the ground. Stay on your feet as possible. Street fight is not in the ring and with a referee and a soft mat.

[@NR-gp2il]

That’s why I think BJJ is so Overhyped why do u think rollling in the ground on concrete would be a good ideal?

[@Pinpadprompts]

The only way to learn how to stay on your feet is to learn grappling. It's always boxers that talk about concrete and broken glass but have never spent any time learning take down defence.

[@kendalleastridge4031]

you don't chose to go to the ground you just end up there

[@johncollinowensy4255]

A word of advice though, if your opponent hits the ground, don’t try to step on the person or try to kick him while they’re down. Sure, you’ll get some good hits in, but you’ll be very surprised at how easy it is to grab onto someone’s leg and, with the right know-how (or luck) bring you down too. Grappling is the best skill to learn for this imho. Vice versa if you’re on the ground, protect your head, keep one foot on top of your other knee (it helps with maneuverability), watch what the other person does. Essentially, it’s the same as when you were standing, wait for an opportunity and strike. If they try to low kick you near your upper body, grab their ankle from behind and roll+pull in the direction of their kick, if executed properly (and it will hurt a bit when it grazes you) you are essentially making them overextend their kick and thus lose balance. Works especially well if they lean forward during the kick. If they aim for the legs, maneuver yourself out of the way, roll, twist spin, however you like. If you’re about to get up and they charge at you, wait for an opening to tackle or evade. In every street fight, it’s really just wait for the moment to strike. Untrained people are random and unpredictable, but only for the first few shots. Once you see it, you can take it. Hit and run, works every time.

Mezcla bloqueos y lo que llama "deslizar" muy prácticos y soluciones y consejos prácticos con otras cosas que ponen en peligro o funcionan mal, como ir al suelo con alguien de mayor peso y permitir se acerque tanto el que amenaza sin tomar la iniciativa sino dejándosela a él y abrazándolo, casi todas sus soluciones son de abrazarse y barrer como en lucha o judo,eso lo complica en situaciones en que tiene posibilidad de terminar al instante con un sólo golpe a punto vital, y sin tener en cuenta que así o en el suelo queda indefenso ante un segundo atacante, quien abrazo y me abraza aunque lo derribe con desequilibrio y técnica perfecta no me soltará y me arrastrará con él al suelo. Es vital terminar rápido en vez de complicarse en complejidades bonitas en el colchón de la escuela con muchachos amables que no pelean.

[@andytaylor-fo4pk]

I’ve trained with Krav Maga experts. The challenge is that most of the moves are for the UFC, and not the street. Most of the scenarios he presented could have been ended with a simple eye poke. It’s extremely painful and instantly stops an attacker. Look what happens to MMA fighters when they get accidentally poked in eye. (PS: The best ‘street’ martial art is Systema - I had a Ukrainian instructor. Its mantra is: ‘Predict. Avoid’).

[@carlofrancisco5256]

Agreed. Cage fighting is waaay different. On the streets, I'd just go for the eyes, throat or balls.

@@kravmagaCDK of course you should ask that . Street fights are not choreographed and your assailant will not be compliant or playing along . As a boxer I watch the video and see that an uppercut would penetrate the guard . Telling people something is 100 percent effective when it isn’t might be irresponsible. This is the problem with self defence classes in general. People go to a few classes a month and are led to believe they have a fair chance of disarming a determined assailant with a knife .

That’s a good question. But if an uppercut is attempted it’s easily detectable because the body movement of your opponent gives it away. Slide the forearm of the blocking arm to stop the uppercut and attack as needed. Non stop.
