Roy Elghanayan in What Is Krav Maga? Interview With Israeli Special Forces Martial Arts Instructor

[@PuncherMedia]

Do you have a question for Roy? Ask it here!

[@stevenwilson5737]

Puncher Media excellent video. Eventually though age will catch up and slow down reaction times, there’s no fight system for age. Thank you.

[@efrenyunes8910]

Do you teach for money?

[@DMF716]

@@stevenwilson5737 I think as age gets upon us, we pair the book down to the bare essentials. I'm now 65 years old and overcame many medical issues. Open heartsurgery, colon cancer, and stage 3 kidney disease fighting currently. Although I gained weight, a person never forgets techniques that are muscle memory. In my prime I got to 4th Dan in Isshinyu Karate. The old school stuff where you conditioned your shins as in Muy Thai, forearms, stomach and thighs for kicks and punches. I added American Kenpo, as well as wing Chun with some Krav Maga i had learned. All in all I try to avoid confrontations, even when i was in my prime. When i was forced to use it, it was to protect an asset, client, or protect a victim being attacked near me. In all situations, it did it automatically and there were many times I had to reconstruct what happened. The Japanese called it Musin....No mind....which is what we strive for. My.last class teaching was in 2010. I had one student who begged me for almost a year to come back to PA and teach him after inhad suffered a mini stroke due to extreme job stress in Cleveland Ohio guarding a vice president and a president of a major bank. When I went back to PA to teach this person, after seeing Krav Maga in depth, I discovered what i consider the missing link i had been looking for. And that was one technique could be used many times over in different situations. The person i taught for 3 months straight non stop for 6 to 8 hours a day, got my hybrid training ideas. They worked. So at the end of my teaching career, thanks to what I saw in Krav Maga, as well as an older system of Israeli fighting I applied those principals in today's culture. For me I'm satisfied and I'm living my last years hopefully in peace. But if civil war comes to.our soil again, as a veteran of the US Army, THIS WILL DEFEND, so help me God. Being old just means you cut through the crap and end it fast. Rule number 1, there are no rules Rule number 2, forget rule number one.

Great Interview. Your Homebase is Kyokushin? Why OSS are more in Japanese Martial Arts.... Krav Maga is a Military mix

[@corinageorge679]

Yes, i started a couple of months ago and it is an addictive experience, also really amazing for body and mind!My goal is to walk in peace wherever i go 🙂I got my 7 y old into Krav maga too and he loves it!!!

[@YaHUKaB_ShaRaYAL_YaShaRAL]

It definitely is! Been doing it for almost 10yrs, besides knowing Okinawan Shorin Ryu Karate. I like Krav probably a little more. Because it's more for the street if need be. Keep going, & congratulations Krav brother! 👍🏼

[@DMF716]

Roy, your the best! Glad to see your still teaching. I had open heart surgery in 2017. I'm just glad I survived it. I did very similar things as u do when I taught back in the 80's and 90's....I miss it a lot Master. Take care!

[@russellthompson6079]

Roy, thank you very much for this presentation of a great martial art and combat training!

[@YaHUKaB_ShaRaYAL_YaShaRAL]

I have interacted with Roy a few times on Instagram. He is a very good guy, polite, & friendly. The dude is a bad ass in real life as we can tell for his size. And I bet he's just as bad ass in shooting, firearms, & doing firearm drills.

[@elaines5750]

I love Krav, having trained and achieved two belts. Had to stop, but would love to go back.

[@justinhall2117]

I was googling to see what types of martial arts is around my local area and only one dojo teaches krav maga. So I had to Google what it even was and it looked bad ass. But there's a lot of videos of people hating on it that it's nonsense and some where people been doing it for 20 years s***ing on it. But I think they all came to a agreement that it comes down to being taught it correctly vs someone that printed off a certificate

[@igorg.8624]

Some of these punches look similar in structure to Systema's punches. Is that on purpose?

[@jackjohn7606]

You can't fight for real using krav maga because it's only intended for life or death situations and no one in this video wants to die.

[@jaybone4732]

1:00 At the age of 6 (!) he got into "Mixed Martial Arts" ??? Mainstream MMA schools and gyms have been around maybe for 12 to 15 years at most. If he got into MMA at 6, he must be some really young buck LOL.

[@jaybone4732]

@@markracadio5207 Well I dont want to accuse anyone of anything. It was just an observation. However I almost always see Krav Maga people come to train at our MMA and BJJ classes for their instructor test, and they admit that they need what they learn from us to have a fighting chance. It is very telling. What do they need MMA and BJJ for if KM is so awesome ? We had a KM high level guy taking Muay Thai classes so that he could stand his ground in a stand up fight.

[@alexanderyurrr7129]

So your a special forces

[@screamtheguy6425]

If you are going to train the average person to defend themselves against "real" threats e.g. in the streets. Why can't we see footage of your students doing bareknuckle punching? What's with the gloves? Even if they were beginners, they have to train their knuckles and wrists to receive pressure.

[@PuncherMedia]

You definitely want to have a combo of both bare knuckle and gloved striking training. It’s really easy to overtrain bars knuckle and if you’re training for self defense you don’t need knuckles made of steel. You just need to be able to end the confrontation and escape

[@ElselchoGaming]

You know I do Krav and our sparring is quite similar to MMA/Kickboxing sparring. My instructor said something very weird about there being certain rules about what you can teach/post in Krav organizations (not ours).

[@JeremyHornMMA]

​@@ElselchoGaming can you ask him why that is? If they are not allowing certain techniques I would want to know why that is.

[@darylfields]

Real self-defense no mma fighter trying to tell people to just do jujitsu

[@PuncherMedia]

Jiu Jitsu is great for both self defense and sport but Krav Maga is pure self defense. It’s 100% about incapacitating your attacker and quickly

[@C86913]

Puncher Media No. Krav maga is BS. Basically tae bo, acting like they are badass or special forces because its an israeli martial art

[@darylfields]

@@C86913 A lot of bad krav maga instructors who only wants to make money

[@BigEvil1984]

This is the pitbull of martial arts why because it's all violence and fighting mixed into one. It's not fighting by far far from it. It's all about in flickting a hell of a lot of violence on your enemies. Not fighting like I said. It's violence at its finest. 😊

[@philheath9854]

I wish he wouldn't use the word Sensei ,considering this is an Israeli system and not Japanese. I also wish they didn't use the colour belt system,also Japanese. Be proud of it being Israeli.

[@ElselchoGaming]

You are right about Sensei but Imi Litchfield (founder of KM) used the Judo belt grading system.

Your striking technique is appalling for someone who’s trained so long why do you flare your arms? You’re asking for a shoulder injury.
