"Never be too proud to learn more" Taiyo

The practical training part of Krav Maga Survival is actively using knock-down karate from the Kyokushin and traditional boxing as tools for achieving the right fighting movements and gaining the ability to withstand the physical stress of a “combat contact” (Krav Maga) situation.

There will be taught strategy and tactics against single and multiple opponents in various situations and surroundings (i.e. in car, bus, Elevator, Offices, airplane or during demonstrations).

The solution is based on standing techniques,-  groundfighting knowledge will only be part of the instructor and master Program.

The reason for the focus on the standing game must be seen in the light of; fighting on the ground in a “no rules” situation with eventually more opponents can be leathal even against small opponents, as even a light opponent can kick your head and more simple effectively use a weapon (stone/ashtray) when you are not "mobile".- also most policemen and soldiers are not “dressed” for the ground as their equipment would make it impossible to move on the ground or making a simple roll without getting an injury. It is hence essential that the student receives intense training in withstanding the take down of an opponent.

The Student will receive instruction in/learn about:

 Knowledge of targetpoints for optimal impact 
 Knowledge of recognizing critical situations 
 Fighting under extreme pressure 
 Positioning, timing and fighting expirience 
 Response to extreme stress 
 Self defense - “Hagana Atsmit”

 
Controlled situation

For the time being the system is actively using techniques from the following systems:
existing Krav Maga systems,  jiu jitsu, sambo, judo, aikido, karate, boxing, thai-/kickboxing.

The solution uses a simple and specified number of techniques:

stances, blocks, punches, kicks, locks, take downs. 
 
Further techniques are among others :

head butts, eyepoke, biting, scratching, small joint manipulation, extreme holds. 

The solution is based on a “Keep It Simple - Stupid” KISS philisophy and must always be very simple to perform. The aim is to give the student an effective self-defense and "Active Combat Solution" within a very short period of time.

Further to create a student whom is mentally and physically prepared to meet a “contact combat” situation well prepared and with tools to solve equal critical situations, as a Professional or a civilian.

All techniques are based on natural reactions and from here leading to the optimal finalization with control. All solutions will be trained over and over again to assure the "Right Response in a Stress Situation".

 
Stress in elevator (confined space).

Any technique that is not effective or doubted by the technical commission or masters of the Krav Maga Survival will not be officially applied in the solution.

Instructors and masters will gain knowledge of handling and disarming of various weapons like knives, guns and sticks.

Further attention will be given to “Controlling” with police tools and “handcuffing”.

Krav Maga Survival has a belt system where students can promote themselves and stay motivated, this is also a way for the instructor to know exactely at which level a student can be trained and how far he can be pushed for maximum learning.  

The solution is NOT based on hoping for pity from an opponent, but will force you to take the lead and create your own opportunety for victory.
