If you want counters to handguns, clubs, knives, locks, and to learn throws and locks, and quick strikes like to the eyes, that's all Krav Maga.

I doubt the Israeli Defense Force would bother with a less-than-practical system. Even their special forces use it.

However, pain tolerance, power, and learning how to take a hit all are better learned in Muay Thai. It will make you a better fighter, overall. But fighting and self-defense aren't the same thing . . .

BTW, Szczepankiewicz is right on this one.
