Is Krav Maga legit?

[teamquestnorth]

Last night I was at the gym feeling the pump and I was headed to the drinking fountain to get a sip of water when a dude barrels in front of me with an empty half gallon of water and proceeds to fill it up at the drinking fountain.

My initial reaction was to put this clown in a RNC but I decided it might be a bad look since there were female bystanders around.

When he finally got done he turned around to face me.

I glanced at his shirt and was dumbfounded.

It read "Krav Maga we do bad things to bad people"

I snickered so hard that spit flew out of my mouth and some landed on his cheek.

He started to take some weird striking stance but then he noticed my Bellator MMA shirt, took a look at my arms, and got out of the stance.

We just stared at each other for 5-10 seconds before he walked off.

I have a feeling me and this guy might be heading to a showdown soon.

Should I be worried about his Krav Maga background?

I cried laughing.....good stuff......

Watch your eyes and your nuts. 1 of those will be the first thing he goes for, the other will be the 2nd if he has actually tranes Krav Maga.

 

[ender852]

yes and no?

I once heard it described as a finishing art. One that is good to add to a solid base skill set.

As previously stated I think the primary goal is eye gouge and kick them in the balls. At least that's how it's consistently described to me by the guys that train it around here.

U got this. Just fight where there are no ropes around.

Cool story, bru. If something like this did take place IRL you would both walk away out of the realization that you are both pea-cocking pansies. Hard dudes don't dress in what's the equivalent of Tapout shirts.

Not that i'm billy badass. I just recognize that i'm a pansy. Don't worry though I have high cheek bones and I can paint so I still get laid. Remember kids if you aren't built then you just need to pick up a guitar or artsy hobby.

 

[The Sound of Violence]

If focusing on your opponents balls is legit then yes it's ultra legit.

 

[MMAHAWK]

Like any fighting art in the street it likely will be very helpful.
Old article from 2009 but Moti was pretty badass.
Most Dicked Over Fighter In UFC History: Moti Horenstein
Although not successful in MMA. I ordered the shidokan championships on ppv in the late 90's and he kicked ass in that. Believe it was first round kickboxing, 2nd round MMA with not face punches, and 3rd Rd submission only. Pretty cool event I should still have on VHS or DVD somewhere.

You are taking testosterone and clomid bro, my money is on you.

I have done 2 years of muay thai / kick boxing and 2 years of Krav Maga. For self-defense on the street, I'd definitely go with Krav Maga. No rules always beats "some rules".

Then again, the fact that a person wears a krav maga tshirt, doesn't mean he is actually training it. Just as the fact you were wearing a bellator tshirt doesn't make you a bellator fighter.

Seems that you were fooled by a fake sensei.

Muay thai is pretty much stand up fighting with no rules. And you won't be able to eye gouge/groin kick someone who's in a muay thai/boxing stance.

Lol at TQN using BJJ. Post your blue belt or GTFO.

his Bellator skills are just enough to handle a krav maga stylist.

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

I've never heard of a Krav Maga champion in any MMA league. I think you would beat his ass if you go to the fight wearing a cup and safety glasses.

Seems that you were fooled by a muay thai teacher. I've trained both, as I've mentioned (not any longer though). If a fight goes as long that your opponent takes an mma stance, then you're not skilled in krav maga. A skilled krav maga practitioner doesn't fight really. The street is not the ring. Anyway, you obviously haven't trained it and I'm not about to go into a fictional "what martial art is best" argument.

The version of Krav Maga you've crafted in your head is like when you're playing tag as a kid and that one little fuck-face claims he has an invisible force field. So since you get this trump card that gives you lighting fast reflexes and infallibility in a fight, then it's only fair that I have a fully loaded Mini Nuke straight out of the Fallout series. Come get some.

You're lucky he didn't pull your Bellator shirt over your head and beat you senseless with his gallon jug.
