    Default Krav Maga

    What do you guys here think about Krav Maga? Don't let its origins colour your opinion. How good is it in terms of sheer practicality and effectiveness?

    It's probably the most practical combat art out there.

    No kata... No ethics... No bullshit. How to incapacitate your attacker FAST.

    They teach it to the Israeli defense forces in like a week or two... Very simple to learn.

    True. It's effective. However I like a bit of spirituality in a martial art. Aikido is great.

    In principle it's great, as is the Russian sistema.

    The important thing is to choose your instructor with care. This stuff attracts lots of wannabes.

    I took a few Krav classes in Scotland. It's good exercise as well as being an effective form of self defence.

    I observed it and it looks like cat-fight, basically flail your arms towards your opponent as fast as possible

    I personally think it's ineffectual. If you want to make good self-defense martial arts then Jujutsu is the best choise.

    Jujitsu* is very good. I can attest to Krav's effectiveness, though. It's saved my arse.
