Name three people who aren't scam artists who run schools in the United States and teach students directly.
I haven't done a study of it, but I know two teachers who are pretty good. do I wish that the operation that I study at wasn't so commercial? sure, but it seems to me most dojos in the US are very commercial.
well, yeah, nobody in the US, or certainly no civillian, would want to train in krav the way it is tought in the IDF. but that doesn't effect the system. there is a very well defined system for teaching krav, even in the states.This methodology of training, that exists within the IDF, has not been recreated in the Western world from what I have seen.
I disagree with you about that. what most people need is to learn how to use some agression. if you have never really been in a fight, or never really done heavy contact sparing or hit a bag, this is exactly the type of thing that krav can teach you.If you want to hurt someone, badly, you can do it without training in anything. Eyes, throat, "zone" out and do not stop. If you learn how to punch, if you become acclimated with being punched (no one stops flinching), if you learn how to subdue someone close in you get what you need without the crapshoot that is Krav Maga.
