The Ultimate in Martial Arts

rooke · 06-17-2002, 02:39 PM

Hey guys, I'm kinda curious about Krav Maga. I know its gained popularity in Hollywood and such, and this is NOT intended as a flame. I am just not very familiar with it, and am seeking to understand some differences...

From what I've seen (a buddy of mine took it at the LA headquarters), its pretty much Muay Thai and Brazillian Jujitsu. That appeared to be the gist of it, from what I saw. I'm sure there's more. Could someone enlighten me (without referring me to spend money and buy such and such tape or book). Does it have trapping? Weapons? Is the stance different? What's the preferred range? Does it defang the snake like FMA? Does it block or slip? Does it use lines?

Thanks much,
Rooke

You might find your the answers to you questions at:

www.kravmaga.com

at their forum.

I know the LA Academy TEACHES BJJ and Muay Thai but these are taught as separate classes - Krav Maga is NOT a combination of BJJ and Muay Thai.

Hope this helps.

I appreciate the heads up. Last time I visited the site, they did not have the discussion forum up.
