Groin Defense and Lead Elbow

Posted by Abraham Schur on May 28, 2016 Leave a Comment

Groindef01

 

Short video highlighting the Krav Maga principle of attacking and defending simultaneously. The assailant throws a round kick that slides up the thigh toward the groin. The chin gets tucked into the rear shoulder, the backhand blocks the leg at the thigh, and the lead elbow drives the attacker forward in a burst of momentum.

KBensparthm01

During our ‪#‎sparring‬ sessions is the time where we can figure out how we’re flowing and naturally responding to ‪#‎attacks‬ and our ‪#‎striking‬ as well. Therefore, ‪#‎Krav‬ Maga teaches us how to take preset forms and apply them without conscious rehearsal. This video highlights these ideas and more.

Knife Defense against Stab to the Face

Posted by Abraham Schur on May 9, 2016 Leave a Comment

knifedead thum

 

This video is composed of clips recorded at full speed; they are not sped up. The video highlights possible options against a straight knife stab to the face.

The principal thing to focus on is bursting inward and off the line. I have to burst inside, yet not put my force straight against the attacker’s. By sidestepping as we burst in, the hands-together-like-an-arrow technique may be used while bursting inward to protect the neck and face.

The idea is to strike as much as possible while moving towards the attacker’s backside, displacing his/her center off the line, following through with punches and elbows to the side, to the back of the head, and the spinal area.

In this video you see me use a form of a wrestler’s arm control. I am putting weighted pressure on my partner’s rotator cuff, dragging him down, and from here I can follow through with more damaging attacks and strikes, maximizing damage.

In a real situation, this will not be easy. I may be stabbed a few times while employing this technique. I can try to use his knife hand to forcefully stab him, taking his knife arm and making it an extension of my body.

Multiple Attacker Strategies

Posted by Abraham Schur on April 28, 2016 Leave a Comment

Multipleattack1

Video displaying some of the principles of dealing with multiple attackers in a controlled sparring setting. The most obvious rule is do not give your back to people.Even if you brought your gun/knife/weapon, you still wouldn’t want to get caught in themiddle between two attackers and potentially give one your back, so the principles are the same regardless of the weapons involved.

It is imperative that your empty handed skills are up to par. And you will still have to use the basic movements of strafing ,bursting, retreating, explosive striking, and  proper footwork.

Avoid being forced up against a wall, and the subsequent attacks
from both sides. Do not haphazardly and weakly attack more than one opponent at the same time.

Avoid the ground, fancy kicks, and prolonged submissions/locks and chokes as they can leave one open to attacks.

Moreover, preemption is better than reaction. Awareness is imperative! If you feel imminent danger: you must always strike first, escaping if there is a possibility, but fighting to the end.

A classical martial strategy is to attack whenever you see a weakness;  If there is a stronger opponent that would cause a lot of damage and a weaker one that you can dispatch more easily,
attack the weak one and use him/her as an obstacle and a stumbling block for the stronger opponent.

As always, the martial way is one of self-awareness. It is of paramount importance to know yourself to know the enemy, appraising who is strong and who is weak, deducing the appropriate strategy for the circumstance.
