zionpsyfer Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Some of you might have seen Human Weapon on the History Channel. If not, it's about two martial arts experts that travel the world, training and fighting with various other disciplines. Anything from wrestling to boxing to nimpo. They're in Israel right now, learning the basics of Krav Maga. What a brutal and effective style. Has anyone ever heard of it? Studied it? I guess the IDF trains extensively in it and things like the gun disarms are actually practical in real world situations. And it is so very brutal. Somehow I'm reminded of a monk. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krav_Maga Here's the last part of the episode that's on. http://youtube.com/watch?v=o3bjzpoWVMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emp_newb Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I took Krav Maga, and look at the place it was developed, its the israeli military discipline. Of course it has to be brutal and to the point. Gaza/west bank are CONSTANTLY fighting and skirmishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chayesh Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 That's pretty awesome. Not as smooth as something like Aikido, but very practical and effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zionpsyfer Posted September 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I don't know about the Nazis. The show said that Israel began using it during WWII for use against them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vobbe Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I trained for about 10 months while I were doing my military service. My drill sergeant told us "This is the best way ever to drive a handgranade into someone throat" But as someone mentioned above here, its really brutal! You aim for the sensitive spots on the body more or less all the time, alot of bending limbs and such. But really fun to train, looks like a barbrawl in my eyes.
