Krav Maga

I was thinking of doing Krav Maga as the hype says it is condensed techniques to survive and as a result I ended up on this thread, and got this far.
What strikes me is Millionaires aggressiveness, how many street fights have you been in?
It is not something typical of MA discussions in fairness, you seem like the person I'm worried about attacking me on a night out?
Is your level of aggression typical of Krav Maga types?

I agree in this totally and was kinda wondering the same thing.

I did MA for over 9years and have to say, that I saw a few violent f"ckers during that time in training,but they were expelled from the school, as they were reflecting a bad reputation on the place.

I personally think you are one of the worst people to advertise a MA, no matter if it is KM or any other MA.

You seem to be looking for a fight wherever you go, from how you write Millionaire, and this is an abuse of self defense.
It doesn't matter who throws the first punch, a fight normally starts before that, by hyping people up.

If you can't handle that, then walk away before teasing the opponent until they make a swing.

Lad's with respect, I can't take either of your comments seriously. You're making judgements on a system based on your impressions (which are incorrect I might add and I know cos I train with him) of one individuals postings....
Do yourselves a favour and go find out for yourselves rather than coming up with lame justifications. However if you are indeed feeling squemish about Millionaire's postings and not just taking cheap shots well then you're probably right, KM isn't for you....
By the way I have never been in a fight of any kind in my life. Don't know if that makes me good or bad....

When I speak to self defense I speak to situations where it is impossible or gone beyond talking your way out of it. not refering situations where some drunk guy is giving you a bit of stick outside the pub or whatever.

Am I an agressive type. Absolutely not! I hate fights, I hate thugs. As a person I am very happy go lucky always laughing!

Sure I have had a defend myself a few times over the years where it was impossible to walk from. The only reason I referred to this, was to back up some of the points I made. And I totally stand by the times I had to defend myself.

As a person, 2 uni degrees, run a successful service type biz in Dublin, and certainly not aggressive.

Thats like saying people doing MMA or NHB fighting are thugs or aggressive types which is simple not true. (I do think their a bit nuts in a good way though...sorry MMA Lads! : -))

I think iits wrong to take shots at me, because I recognise the realities of street self defense. and I stand by my points back and white.

Remember each to his own. Personally myself I have totally no interest in traditional martial arts anymore. its not my scene. However if others on here enjoy them, excellent! thats their choice,and I have no right to run TMA or whatever down, just because I don't agree with it.

I am not an ambassador for KM. KM is just a bunch of techniques aimed for real life situations and has been tried and tested for years. However I am an ambassador for what will work in a real life situation..and I mean really work. and there are many others outside of KM doing simliar. I could n't care less if I put u off KM, I am there training for myself...no one else.



In the real world an attack is a very nasty horrible thing, it ain't pretty. If you refuse to accept the realities for my previous posts, thats fine, just ensure no one ever gets too close to attack you....if u can.

would be interested to come, not sure if I can manage it though. Am not really looking for a MA to start, did it for 9 years, and had to stop, because I broke a vertibrae.

Is it Domes or active training you are doing there?

very soon there will be Jeet Kune Do starting. I'm being tight lipped right now. ear to the ground in due course.
