yeah, i thought the krav episode was pretty good. they weren't trying to teach rolling kneebars--which is a real, valid technique, but one that takes a pretty good base in bjj to do. i like how in krav, they just teach the bare essentials necessary for a wide variety of combat situations.
it was funny - I trained at the two bases they showed, 20 years ago, a lot has changed since then, and some stayed the same. I was watching it with my wife and kept saying "hey look at that" and she was more or less in the "whatever" mindset.
from what my krav instructor friend told me (who also trained in israel), the civilian krav curriculum is very different from the military krav. military krav, depending on the course, covers more weapon work and stuff like assassination techniques which are not taught to civilians.

if all you do is train titty-twisters and neglect fundamental skills, you will not be able to pull it off.i

Well, shiver me timbers.
eason, did you see the "human weapon" episode on the marine corps martial arts?
nice article. but, yeah, it's just common sense.
You'd think so, but the guy who runs that website, though very pragmatic to me or you, is actually controversial in TMA circles for being self-critical of his own art. He has a great line that goes something like "if you told the average karateka in the beginning that they could practice diligently for ten years and still get their ass kicked by a high school football player, they'd probably buy a gun for self-defense and take tennis lessons instead."
Thanks for the link, retronotmetro.
