they kick like fucking pussies, they do tkd/karate style snap kicks.
It's easier to kick someone in the balls with a snapkick. It's not as powerful, but its faster and more precise.

no ones turning this into a style on style thread, and no one is saying they would clinch a guy with a knife numnuts.
dont assume to know what im thinking.
Krav Maga is only useful on handcuffed Lebanese and Palestinian kids. IDF doesn't use it for real fighting. If they don't have their opponent outgunned or outnumbered, they will run away.
you don't need any training to squeeze someones nutsack.
my wife has never trained in anything but krabi krabong, if i get her in a RNC she will go for the nuts.
anyone will in the street if the lights are about to go out.
Umm...why not try a class with a qualified instructor, then decide whether that particular gym is good for you or not?
Krav Maga is just like any other martial art/self defense system: the quality of instructor can make or break a particular training location.
There are shitty instructors in Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, TKD, Wrestling, etc. etc. You should try out a bunch of gyms and decide which one you like best in all cases.
And BTW - Not sure what shitty Krav Maga school the people describing the snap kicks are going to, but I was always taught to land with my shin and break straight through the other side. For example, when kicking to the groin, we were taught to land with the shin and try to lift the person as far off the ground as possible. To quote my instructor, "You're not trying to kick the testicles, you're trying to break the pelvic bone. The testicles just get in the way."
KMOne was sent as part of their marketing machine, dont give in... lol. Or go ahead, go to a class and see how much it sucks. Ive been to the national training center in LA. Im telling you guys no matter how "good" the KM gym is it still sucks.
Ok dont take my word for it, Im looking up video demonstrations from youtube and posting them. Let people here with MMA experience judge and see what they think. Im posting up the videos that Krav people are posting to be fair. Some are just random, they are all from one user on youtube that has a lot of Krav Maga videos.
YouTube - Krav Maga on Good Morning America Now <--- this was one for tv
YouTube - Kevin Lewis Krav Maga Promo Vid
YouTube - Krav Maga Choke With A Push Defense
YouTube - The Best Krav Maga Demo Video Period! <--- this is the way they train in class, doing demosntrations on some person that is never resisting
YouTube - Krav Maga Shotgun Attack Defense
This guys has a lot of videos YouTube - KravCam's Channel
Now people can judge the quality of this martial art for themselves.
so because you've seen a few videos on youtube, you think you know how krav maga is trained everywhere??
I've seen some Israeli military Krav Maga training videos and it looks like they go pretty hard on each other - but I haven't heard of Krav Maga academies in general using the same sparring practices.
Overall, when I compare our Krav sparring sessions with kickboxing and boxing sessions I've done since, it was pretty decent. Definitely not as technical, but that's not what Krav Maga is supposed to be. It is what it is: brutal, efficient, and fast.
dont see any Krav Maga guys in the UFC do you?
