Krav Maga USA



Remember ONLY to use physical response if there is NO other option, but if you have to be a 100% committed, be rapid fire in your response. Recent media coverage of the ever-increasing violence on our streets dictates we all need to have the skills to defend ourselves when the 's..t' hits the fan'.

Get the right training and you CAN walk a little more safely and feel more confident
about yourself. . You can take NOTHING for
granted no matter what you know or how good you might think you are."

"Any defensive tactics MUST be trained  from close range, as this is where it will be, like it or not. Nine times out of ten, it won't be of your choosing anyway.
 If you hesitate in a 'live' situation it WILL go to grappling on to the ground. But remember 99% of fights will start on their feet.

By all means train for the ground but do NOT
neglect your close quarter stand up skills.

 Introduction to KAPAP KRAV MAGA Academy:

The Academy is based in the United States and serves as an International Instructional institute operating and represented in more than 20 countries by local Instructors certified by KAPAP ACADEMY.

 KAPAP  or Krav Panim El Panimmeans   in Jewish language means  Face To Face Combat  .an is  the original combat system of CQB, hand-to-hand combat and self-defense, employed by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
 KAPAP fight tactics started  in 1940's  by  so called Palmach or Jewish Strike Brigades forces in fighting for the independence of the State of Israel. These Palmach units later formed the core of Israel's special units in the conventional military (IDF).
KAPAP ACADEMY was founded by Albert Timen who served in one of Israel's elite Counter Terror units.
Kapap Krav Maga  is an “all combat” system — a system totally dedicated to close combat and self-defense, with and without weapons. It has no sporting or competition aspect and it  does`nt belong  to any classical/traditional school of though.
In coperation with other instructors Albert  had modified and upgraeded the system to fit legal aspects of civilian self defense, as well as becoming applicable by Law Enforcement , Military and Security operators worldwide.
KAPAP ACADEMY is Leading Staff  is consisting by former official Israeli Military and Police instructors in Counter Terror combatives (LOTAR).

Immportant Aspects on Kapap Krav Maga  :Angles, Straight  Lines and  Circles.

Manipulation threw T shapes

By manipulations of the ``T``-s  you should again focus on these key 2 points of attacker(one comme forward one comes o the other side.
It should come to balance displacement of the attacker and that's is the key to fulfill your self defense mission with Kapap Krav Maga.
The same is by when he might hold you on  Guillotine example where your had is the upper point and you have to push it on the down T and you can't take him away  (right or left side ) by pushing in these 2 strategic points (push and pull) and take him out off-balance  .
Lineal Vs. Circular Attack Variations
There is so many kind off  angles s that human body  can generate like joints can go in certain directions,kicks can go in certain directions and etc.

Straight attacks to your target

For example we got the punches which are drawn from boxing or from Muy Thai,straight jaws,right cross hand one two knocking down the pipe is the straight attack is no angles it goes straight to where the shortest distance between point A and point B is a straight line and that`s what we are talking about.
If you got your jaw right there,you got your front kick as well,the other thing is your  counter attack by side with your right or left hook,your uppercut etc.

Circular attacks to your target

The purpose of these defense is that everything it comes from 360 ° you can block it with up triangle and down triangle
These angles you can utilise and use them to work for your advantage.
Simple example straight attack  hand versus circular  attack
He starts with a kick and you counter with a punch he is gone have rich on you on a distance the right counter attack goes like this: you should use the moment in which he is trying to generate a good angle to generate a good impact on your body you from that distance which he need to go through to generate impact on you by moving on circular way to hit him with a straight power punch by cutting right into him with all your body into his central line,and knocking him  down.
Attention her you might absorb some impact from him but not standing you will move  forward to generate a much stronger straight punch on his face so and to generate impact on the attacker you should move to circular way .
He starts with a straight punch you  can counter with a circular move by changing angle and hitting with elbow on the face etc.
The same is by armed attack :if he goes in circular way ,you must go into straight motion right into him by blocking him back to focusing again on those main  2 points which we talked earlier on this post
Circular attack vs. Straight   counter attack intercepting into his central line
Straight  attack-Counter attack should be:use the advantage of a larger distance which he need to comes to you by intercepting him with  counter attack.

Kapap Krav Maga- how to deal with armed attacker?

THe Main purpose Of Kapap Krav Maga is that  you should focus yourself  on  these 2 points which should well-trained over and over ,otherwise if failed to do so it should it  could end with a bullet in your body!
So you should focus on these 2 points, in gun and in hand of the attacker and then your fast reaction you have to try to create the leverage which is vital  first step to bring him down
Applied principles with stick disarm
In videos below you should see as well a scene off where you should be focused on :
push and pull ,the triangle,and 2 points of contact.
Basic swing, first and second point off contact ,block the stick ,create the triangle  by manipulating and changing the force from higher triangle to low triangle ,where you should  be on proper distance (not to far away)from the opponent (because  he might have the upper hand when it comes to strong leverage and finally  stripped it away ( the stick).

Choosing the right Tool for angle and distance:

it depends from the different attacks and you should choose in a tenth of second which counter attack tool  and from which angle to intercept those attacks combined with a real footwork and hand action by following your fight  instinct .
Damage Control when Encountering Blades
This is one of the hardest thing to come across to disarm a blade when i comes to knife to knife attack with lethal points like slices in the necks etc.
Again  it goes like this :breaking the angle by trying the  slice to the neck and with another hand blocking the hit of the opponent.this is hard while you are sacrificing your hand and fingers by blocking knife attack and with another hand tying to hit as you can.

It is very important length  of blade is been used  and choosing the right distance according to length of it so you can have as much as rich as possible on your target.

Geometric Shapes Of Attack:

These are  very common   in Jiu Jitsu like grappling again we have to deal the same principles when it comes to straight attack vs circular attack and in another way in many variations.in a  geometric triangle shape attack.

straight attack coming to you ,you intercept with a triangle shape attacks on different variations  step by step moves

for example on the ground fight  as he might attempt to choke you you intercept his straight attack with your triangle attack by blocking his had with your legs  and using your hands on triangle shape based attacks and then applying pressure on had pressure points.

Relative Position:Relative Position:it is very important to choose your relative position  before even you goes into the fight .her is important your s feeling and instinct  that it gone come for sure to a fight and by standing your central line vs his central line you should be able to change this by realitivating your position according to enviroment surrounding you for example wall ,tree ,cars  etc and put yourself each time in a better counterattack position .

Attacking the Sensory points

by targeting vital senses on human body it is could affect in fight length and his effectivnes in disfavor of attackers psych condition causeing scariness, panic  and lack of interest to continue the attack .
Important sensory points:
Brain - command all human body so an attack on the brain is vital to disable an neutralise the attacker

A kapap specialised self defence fighter must uses his brain how to deal on preconflict situation by trying to avoid the fight in maximum .during  the fight  by trying to diable attacker in the most non damage form to avoid any  jail and past conflict  situation as well.

Eays -vision without vision his pretty much unable to target / continue  the  attack.
that's way the most of security forces and bodyguards are using special glases (with mirrors so they can see even behind them) also many lasers/lights  in use by miliary secrets forces have this kind off aim to neutralise vision of the opponents  by changing frequency of light and causing  a lot off side effect,disorienting,vomiting,more easy in a fight against them.

Ears Hearing - got balance and equilibrium.

Taste by hits it could came to smell like metal or blood which  may effect in the brain and pushing him to back off.

Fight on the street is much different t than a fight on the ring because there are no rules out here.

The High-Low Principle Of Attack
Here si important to combine your attacks in low  and high parts of attackers body  in order to take him down example hitting upper part and making possibility to continue counter attack with your legs down etc


Developing Body Condition :

90 % of fight is  about a body condition.

You should be able to take kicks and punches otherwise you would not be able to carry on the fight like  in any other martial arts and these could take years of experience.

Mental and physical conditions.

By training Kapap Krav Maga you should be able to overcome side effects like shocks,panics etc  by  damages for example which are caused by hits on face and other parts of the body  so you are in full control on your next step.

and you will be able to have  stable  mental and physical conditions to keep up your overall balance.
