Guest The Pom Queen Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Has anyone heard of it or attends classes? My eldest son wants to join a class (he is a black belt at karate) but the you tube video he showed me looks very much hands on and violent. For members who know him they will tell you he is a very quiet, well mannered young man and I don't know much about this. It seems full on compared to karate.

NickyNook Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Both my sons did it for a while and enjoyed it. It started in Israel, I believe, so isn't an asian martial art. No idea if it's perceived to be violent or not - it didn't change them into fighting machines (and they're still the quiet and well-mannered people they were before they did it. :wink:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikki244 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I'd love to learn it. Would be nice to know I could look after myself if I was ever put into a threatening situation. Hubby's interested in learning it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main aim in Krav Maga is to get your attacker immobilised by any means often using brute force. That's krav maga in a nutshell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 My husband (very fit 63 at the time) did a weekend course and loved it! He was knackered at the end of it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
