Great Level 3/4 class this morning! And it was hard training as we did a mock Level 1 test to make sure our intermediate and advanced students are staying sharp on their basics.
To have the dedication to train this hard on a holiday weekend shows why these students have progressed this far in our Krav Maga curriculum in the first place!

👊🏻
Krav Maga (official self-defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces) training will give you the skills you need to fight back and win if you are physically assaulted. Our self-defense training program is designed to be easily learned and easy to retain so that you can act under stress. Regular training at our Krav Maga Worldwide certified training center will not only give you these self-defense skills but it will also make you physically and mentally stronger.
👊🏻
When: Saturday, April 17 from 9:00-10:00am

Good self-defense rests on three pillars: situational awareness, verbal de-escalation, and the hands-on act of defending yourself.
👊🏻
Thank you to the Krav Maga Worldwide affiliate in Houston for sharing this!
April 8, 2021
Krav Maga Worldwide training deals with fighting back in the worst of situations. Dealing with weapons is about as scary as it gets. If don’t you train tactics and develop a set of skills to use in a life-threatening situation you won’t have a chance to act when you need to.
👊🏻

A common question we get is if we have classes for beginners.
A beginner might be afraid that they can’t keep up in class or may feel intimated training with more experienced and skilled students.
Yes, we do have classes just for beginners! This is called our Level 1 class.
This entry level class introduces basic strikes such as straight punches, elbows, front kicks, and knees – the meat and potatoes of a street fight. You’ll also learn how to deal with common chokes and headlocks.
These techniques offer a clear representation of the principles of Krav Maga – ideas such as explosive movements, instinct-based responses and simultaneous defense-and-counterattack.
Even though we don’t wear belts, our Krav Maga curriculum has a belt system. Students start as White Belts and once they graduate the Level 1 curriculum they become Yellow Belts.
Learn more about our Level 1 curriculum at https://
Our training center kitty Shadow doesn’t understand that this is not what we mean by White Belt training.

: Your instinctual response to a choke is to bring your hands towards your throat.
: Because plucks use 
speed and 
leverage to attack at the weakest part of the choke, anyone can pluck.
: You can learn how to capably pluck in less than an hour.
: Chokes are a common attack making plucking an essential tool in your self-defense toolbox

Our Krav Maga Fitness program integrates a lot of workouts that are specific and functional to our Self Defense and Fighting training.
The workout that is used most often by our students is the Bas Rutten Mixed Martial Arts Workouts.
In regards to Bas’ boxing workout, a common question is what’s the difference when Bas calls out “4” and “3 plus a Right Straight“. This video demonstrates and explains the difference between the two combinations.

We train hard, stay ready, and know how to fight back and win in a life-threatening situation.
🔥
If you don’t train to defend against the worst case scenario, like dealing with an armed attacker, how will you know what to do if you ever find yourself in that situation?
🤷🏻♂️
Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense is about training to fight back and win against real-world dangers. We don’t want anyone in our KMW community to find themselves in a life-threatening situation…bit if they do, we want them to fight back, win, and go home safe.
👊🏻
Walking in peace is the ultimate goal of Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense training. That’s what we want for everyone.

Congratulations to Blake Boginsky for passing the Krav Maga Level 1 (Yellow Belt) test this afternoon!
Blake has been taking three lessons a week all summer, as well as practicing on his own, to be proficient enough to pass the Level 1 test.
In our Krav Maga program the youngest we’ll accept a student is 12 years old as long as they are both mentally and physically mature enough to handle the aggressive type of training we do.
Blake just turned 13 last week. He is the youngest student I’ve ever promoted in my 19 years of teaching Krav Maga!
To be honest, 12 and 13 year old students are my least favorite students to teach. They generally don’t put forth much effort, have sloppy techniques, and don’t have a true appreciation of the self-defense and fighting skills they are learning.
But not Blake! He almost always worked hard and showed good focus during his lessons. When I would give him a correction, he would actually implement it. When I would tell him what he needed to practice on in order to improve, he would come back the next lesson showing those improvements. It was obvious to me that he actually put in the work on his own because he always showed improvement when he returned to his next lesson.
His dad Ed signed him up to make sure he wouldn’t be a victim of bullying in school. When they first started he told me how some of the kids at Blake’s school were bigger then he is as an adult! To best prepare Blake for this, he served as his training partner during the lessons. And neither Ed or I went easy on Blake! We worked him hard including many different live self-defense and sparring drills to simulate real fights.
I’m proud of what both Blake and Ed accomplished this summer! They will continue on to Level 2 training during the school year.

Tomorrow we’re going to publish our first video that’s in 4K resolution. However, we’ll see if YouTube actually will give the option to view them in 4K after they our published.🤞🏽
Besides being in 4K resolution, future videos will have a shorter intro and ending so you can watch multiple videos on playlists more efficiently.
Tomorrow’s video is titled Krav Maga – Bearhug from the Front with a Lift (Arms Free Neck Leverage Variation).

If it’s important to you, you’ll find a way to get it done. If it’s not, you’ll find an excuse not to do it.

There’s nothing more important to each and every Krav Maga Worldwide certified training center than empowering people with the skills they need to be stronger and safer.
💪🏻
Krav Maga Worldwide certified training centers are striving every day, overcoming all sorts of different challenges, to continue to spread the vision that Imi Lichtenfeld had for Krav Maga when he entrusted our Chief Instructor Darren Levine with bringing the system to the world.
👊🏻
Imi wanted every person to be able to walk in peace and that vision is evident in the endurance and effort that Krav Maga Worldwide certified training centers show every day.

In this Krav Maga Fundamentals video we demonstrate the two ways to fix almost all balance issues regardless of the technique you’re performing:
1. Place your feet wider (widen your base).
2. Bend your knees (lower your center of gravity).

If you hit the ground in a fight and the person you are fighting is still standing, know how to maintain a good position, make damage if possible, and get up. Work to improve your position while maximizing the weapons you have at your disposal.
💯
That’s a metaphor for some of the challenges that Krav Maga Worldwide certified training centers are facing right now. Training conditions aren’t ideal but there’s no stopping, there’s no quitting, there’s no let down in our dedication to bringing the best possible self-defense training to make people safer and stronger.
💪🏻
We often talk about the lessons we learn on the mat being applicable to facing challenges and problem solving in other aspects of our lives. This year has been a great example of that. No giving up. No let down. Fight your way out and survive.
🔥
The Krav Maga Worldwide community as a whole has really risen to the challenge of continuing to train and build the skills to be safer and stronger during a time when training conditions haven’t been ideal. All of our certified training centers, their instructors, staff, and members have been an amazing example of the idea that down is NOT out. Keep pushing hard. Walk in peace!

2. How do I get more power in the Inward Angle Knee?

Know how to use your hands to make damage to anyone who would make damage to you.
💯
Here’s a look at some of the fundamental strikes that Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense teaches students in Level 1. We wrote an in-depth blog about fundamental striking with the hands a few months back. The link will be below if you want to learn more.
💪🏻
Basically students in Level 1 learn fundamental striking with the hands that includes straight punches, palm heel strikes, eye gouges, throat strikes, and hammerfists. Students learn how to utilize these strikes in all sorts of directions and learn to find high-value targets on opponents.
🔥
Some of these strikes would be considered illegal or a foul in a sanctioned sport fight…but Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense was created without consideration for rules or fair competition. We teach students to use whatever means necessary to fight back, win, and go home safe.

Congratulations to Vanessa Wildman for passing the Krav Maga Level 1 (Yellow Belt) test this morning.
She has been training 4-6 hours a week this summer to learn and be able to perform the Level 1 curriculum techniques while under stress.
Her excellent work ethic, natural ability, and mental toughness allowed her to complete and pass the Level 1 curriculum faster then just about any other student I have taught.
She will continue learning techniques from the Level 2 and above curriculum before heading off to Emory University in Atlanta next month. She is now more prepared to protect herself while away in college. She plans on continuing her Krav Maga training when she returns home during college breaks.
It has been a pleasure teaching you so far Vanessa! From everything I’ve seen when training you, you have a very bright future! -Randall

In order to be well-rounded in self-defense striking techniques, students must learn to fight from long range, mid range, and close range (standing and on the ground) and how to throw strikes from all ranges from different angles and in different directions.
💪🏻
The Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense system teaches students to use elbows in seven different directions in order to be effective at making damage against an attacker at close range. It’s one of the fundamental things that students learn in Level 1.
👊🏻
Our mission is to make people stronger and safer. Empowering people with skills to defend themselves in close range scenarios where many assaults happen is essential. When used correctly elbows can deliver fight-ending power and we want all of our students to have this skill so they can protect themselves and go home safe if they are assaulted.

It comes from you.
👊🏻
One of the first things that Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense training teaches and instills in students is fighting spirit. The idea that you won’t stop. The idea that you won’t quit. The idea that you will keep fighting back if you are assaulted….and the ability to manifest that with your physical skills.
💪🏻
Really, though, the fighting spirit is yours. Krav Maga Worldwide training shows you where it is and how to use it. When students become able to tap into their fighting spirit and apply it in training, it’s a huge source of pride for instructors.💯
Don’t forget why you started training. Don’t stop pushing to get better. To get stronger and be safer.
💪🏻
Training conditions have changed for the time being but the world’s best self-defense system has not. Threats are still out there. Fighting spirit is still in you.

This video addresses the common student question/concern that a handgun can damage the defender’s hand when performing our Krav Maga defenses against handgun threats: https://www.facebook.com/ARMSINCORPORATED/videos/1752645978113554/
April 10, 2020
- Striking from the defender is very important! If I was only allowed to learn and use one knife defense from Krav Maga or any other martial art I’ve learned it would be the Hand Defenses against Knife Attack (360 Degree and Inside Defenses). These are the exact same defenses taught in Level 1 and with counterattacks in Level 2. This is an example of how important your basics are for more advanced weapons defenses!
- Do not attempt to tie-up or clinch with the attacker unless you have no choice due to lack of space.
- If you do clinch you must have one hand controlling the attacker’s wrist and your other hand capping the attacker’s fist to prevent the weapon from being switched to the attacker’s other hand.
- Use a weapon or improvised weapon if possible to make it a fair fight.
- Run away if it’s an option. You do not always have to disarm or defeat the attacker. You don’t have to “win” a knife fight. Just “survive” it.

This is the best video I found on YouTube explaining how indoor air quality is improved when using UV light with your HVAC.

I’m doing a little spring cleaning and took out all the martial arts and boxing equipment out of my storage unit and put it in the box truck.
I use to resell martial arts and boxing equipment online for a living. This is my remaining inventory from this business.
I’m giving away for FREE any of this equipment to my students who want it!
There are gloves, shin/instep guards, forearm guards, kicks, mouthguards, groin protectors, martial arts uniforms, training pads, and martial arts weapons (and yes, JJ, wooden swords).
Let me know if you want to come on down and take a look at the inventory and take home some of the equipment to help you with your training at home. I promise to stay 6 feet away. 😀
Ed was not nice enough to stop by and drop off some palettes that I needed. He was able to find some good items that he and his daughter can use to practice at home.

Effective today, our training center is now closed as ordered by Broward County. We will not be teaching lessons during the closure.
We know many of you are going through similar struggles with being out of work now. If you need to cut back on your expenses and freeze your membership with us, please contact me directly.
I will keep all current student memberships as active unless I’m asked to freeze it. If you can afford it, please keep your membership active. If you want our training center to still be open after this epidemic ends, keeping your membership active will increase our chances of us staying in business.
In return for keeping your membership active, you as a student will get the following:
- FREE access to Krav Maga Worldwide Academy online training. The new KMW Insider section on the Academy includes FREE lessons for each Krav Maga Level (1, 2, 3, and Advanced), which are updated every week and follow the official KMW curriculum. All active students will receive an email later this morning with registration and login information.
- Access to the 172+ Student Section videos which have more details, variations, and troubleshooting ideas for the techniques you have learned in our classes as well as what you will learn through the new KMW Insider.
- If you need a place to train, you can sign-up for Open Gym times at www.KravMagaCalendar.com and use our facility. Important Note: Only one person at a time is allowed to use the Open Gym times! And as always, after you finish training please wipe down all the equipment you use with the disinfectant spray and cleaning rags that are in the closet.
- You can upload videos of yourself training and send JJ or I the link to the videos to receive corrections and feedback on your techniques.
- If you need to borrow training equipment such as small and big shields, focus mitts, replica training weapons, etc. please contact me and you can take them home and use them for training while we are closed.
Please contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or need help with anything at all.
Stay healthy! Stay safe!

Now that many students are unable to come into your school, we know that one of your biggest challenges is to continue to provide them with high-quality training. That’s our challenge too. We developed a solution we’d like to share with you, which will help foster your students’ growth and development in the Krav Maga system even when they’re training at home.
As briefly outlined in yesterday’s email, we created a series of online video lessons that parallel KMW’s curriculum (Levels 1, 2, 3, and Advanced), so members stay engaged in their training and enrolled with you.
As you may know, several years ago we launched an online training resource – Krav Maga Worldwide Academy. This week, we created a special “Subject” on the Academy called KMW Insider that’s FREE and available only for KMW students around the globe.
KMW Insider provides your students with regularly updated online lessons for each KM level (noted above), as well fitness classes and other helpful resources. For your kid members (or students who have kids at home) we’ve opened up the online Krav Maga Kids Self-Defense course for FREE on the Academy. In addition, for students who want to purchase other courses from the Academy, they’re welcome to do so with a 35% discount coupon code – KMWStudent.
Details on how your students can register and receive access to these online resources are included in the student email template below.
We encourage you to invite your active students to participate in KMW Insider and the Kids Self-Defense course, FREE OF CHARGE, as a thank you for supporting you during this difficult time.
Please note: This online service is exclusively for active KMW students. For this reason, we request that you do not share this information on social media, but rather send it to your active students individually via email or private group messages. To make that easier, we’ve included an email template below you can use when informing your students.
Thank you all for your continued dedication to providing the best in reality-based self defense training.
Stay safe. Stay strong.
The Krav Maga Worldwide HQ Team.

Dear KMW Affiliates and Instructors,
The outbreak of COVID-19 has led to unprecedented challenges; not just for KMW school owners and instructors but also for our communities, near and far.
As Krav Maga instructors, we know how to respond to threats in simple and effective ways. We know how to adapt to circumstances and our environment. We know how to fight!
Over the past week, we’ve had a team of 10 key KMW personnel working around the clock to bring you new tools to help your students continue to progress while they can’t train at your school.
Tomorrow, we’ll be announcing details of a robust online training resource that will be FREE for students of active Krav Maga Worldwide affiliates. This online training will help ensure your students can continue their Krav Maga training while at home.
We will send you details that you can give to your students about how to access this online resource.
Please be on the lookout for additional details tomorrow.
Be safe. Be strong.

March 18, 2020
JJ and I have spoke to most of our students directly since the Coronavirus situation has started. We are a small, tight knit training center so it has been easy to stay in direct contact with most of our students.
However, I still want to give you all an update on how we’re dealing with the Coronavirus situation to make sure we are all the same page and to avoid any confusion or misunderstandings.
Our training center is open with our regularly scheduled lessons. We will continue to stay open unless ordered to close.
I have made the decision to stay open for the following reasons:
⦁ Unlike most gyms, we keep our student count to less than 10 people which meets most recommended guidelines. Our average group class is about 4 students. That number is even less since the Coronavirus outbreak.
⦁ Due to poor hygience habits and being constantly around each other, kids are the biggest source of catching a virus. With that in mind, we do not teach children under 12 years old. Almost all our students are adults except for 6 of them. And those 6 students who are under 18 , none of them train in any of our public small group classes. They either take private lessons or semi-private lessons with their family or another friend.
⦁ More than 90% of our students are adults. And as adults they can make the best decision for themselves and their family whether it is in their best interest to continue training or not.
⦁ None of our students are under contract. Every student membership is month-to-month. So students have the option to freeze their program until they’re ready to return. No one is required to continue their membership just because I decided to keep the training center open.
⦁ Well before the Coronavirus outbreak, we cleaned and disinfected our training center 7 days a week. And we will continue to do so.
I have some thoughts in regards to training:
⦁ If you feel comfortable to continue training with others, we will maintain the same class schedule. A class will only be canceled if we don’t have the minimum 2 students.
⦁ If you feel more comfortable with the 6 foot distance rule, we can easily have 3 students training at the same time on the heavy bags and maintain this distance. We can do this for our smaller group lessons by request. Or you can train with classmates on your own without an instructor by scheduling open gym times at www.KravMagaCalendar.com.
⦁ If you don’t feel comfortable training with others, consider taking private lessons. All my current private lesson students are still training with me as of this date. And it’s easy for myself and the student to stay 6 feet away from each other during the lesson if requested. You can schedule a private lesson at www.KravMagaCalendar.com or by contacting me.
⦁ If you don’t feel comfortable training with anyone, take advantage of the open gym times and workout at our training center on your own. We have time slots between 6am to 10pm, 7 days a week. Check for available time slots at www.KravMagaCalendar.com. If you have trouble navigating the calendar please contact me so I can assist you. Maintain your fitness level and Krav Maga skills with open gym times. As always, please clean all the equipment you use (cleaning supplies are in the closet) after you finish your workout.
⦁ Watch the instructional videos posted on our YouTube channel at www.YouTube.com/KravMagaOnline. Many martial arts schools are now offering their students live classes online to try and maintain their memberships and keep their business afloat. I’m not even going to bother with this because all our students already have access to hundreds of hours of instructional videos for free on our YouTube channel. Our Student Section playlist currently has 171 different instructional videos, including every single technique listed in the Level 1 curriculum. And JJ and I will continue to add one or two new videos each week.
⦁ In our Facebook student only group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1967013023593395, I will start uploading videos on training tips and suggestions when working out alone either at home or at our training center during open gym times. These videos should be helpful to keep you staying sharp if you are unable or unwilling to train with partners. And before you complain to me that this unfair because you are not on Facebook: It takes 5 minutes to create a Facebook account and just use it exclusively for our student group. I know we already have some students who have done this.
Finally, just stay in contact with us if you have any needs or concerns. JJ and I are both easy to get a hold of via phone call, text, email, Facebook/Instagram message, or posting in our Facebook student group. Don’t be shy and just contact us if you need anything at all. We are here for you!
Thank you everyone for your support!

Krav Maga Fitness – Bas Rutten All-Around Fighting Workout (Switching Stances Variation)
Our Krav Maga Fitness program integrates a lot of workouts that are specific and functional to our Self Defense and Fighting training.
The workout that is used most often by our students is the Bas Rutten Mixed Martial Arts Workouts.
This workout shows you how to switch from orthodox stance (left foot in front) to southpaw stance (right foot in front) for each striking combination.
There’s two ways when to switch stances:
1. Switch stances after each striking combination.
2. Switch stances only after you sprawl (defense).
This video shows a combination of both variations listed above.
This is a more challenging workout for those who already feel very comfortable doing the workout from the orthodox stance. It teaches you how to seamlessly throw combinations from both orthodox and southpaw stances.

Today is the 10 year anniversary of our Krav Maga Worldwide Official Training Center for Pompano Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
I want to thank Glenda Barton who was both my business and personal partner. She moved with me from Oregon to Florida to open our training center. She was also our manager from 2010-2016, taught all the fitness/conditioning classes and gave new students their introductory Krav Maga lesson during that time period.
Thank you to the following people who were/are our training center’s Krav Maga instructors over these past 10 years who helped train so many of our students:
Jacob Guevara Sr., Natalie Israel Sklar, Quinones Gabriel, Nicolas Heft, JJ Oddone and Pierre Correia.
Thank you to these advanced level students who are the foundation of our student body. They all started between 2012-2015 and have stuck with us to the present:
Joey Annerino, Tibor Sandor, Monica Bondar, Kim Praitano, Simone McFake, Mike Donovan and Tom Schafer.
I will always consider all these instructors and advanced students as my family. I love all of you!
Thank you to the hundreds of students over the past 10 years who have trained with us and supported our Krav Maga program

Thank you Chip Carpenter for giving us this review of our Krav Maga program!
I just wanted to write a few lines to express my deepest gratitude for all you are doing for the people seeking self defense classes here in Broward County Florida. I have been around the block enough to know that there is no perfect program for everyone but for those who are out there looking for a proven self defense system that is taught (to the Israeli military) by dedicated and caring people with a serious skill set, than look no further! This is not about ring sports folks! This is about street reality and all the best ways to get home safely from any potential threat to you or your loved ones. Randall and JJ are the most passionate instructors I have ever known and they are committed to your success as a student. What touched me most after my first free class was the way all the students work to help each other to better themselves. It’s a fun environment that also (as an added benefit) helps to get you into the best shape of your life! At 55 years old I have never felt more competent in my ability to defend myself and there’s so much I’ve yet to learn. Pompano Beach is lucky to have you sharing these skills with us! Thank you both so much!

On January 23 we taught a Basic Self-Defense Workshop for the employees of DPR Construction in Fort Lauderdale.
Many of the ladies who participated mentioned how they don’t always feel safe when working on job sites in unsafe neighborhoods.
In the two hour workshop we taught basic defenses against the two most common forms of assault: Punches and Choke from the Front.
Thank you to Candice at DPR Construction for organizing the event!
Thank you to Staisha at hōm – center for embodied awareness for hosting the workshop!

Fighting is simple, really. Do more damage to the other person than they do to you. Hurt them worse than they hurt you. Simple in theory, difficult in application. Physically and mentally.
👊🏻
For some people learning to be aggressive is a major challenge. The thought of punching or kicking someone else, even if that person was going to hurt them, is alien and sometimes scary. Some people have no idea how to stand up for themselves and no ability to make their body work for them in that way. Training at Krav Maga Worldwide gives people the physical abilities and the mentality to fight. To fight for themselves. To fight for their loved ones. To walk in peace.
💯
Krav Maga Worldwide training is for anyone who wants to gain these kinds of skills and to get in amazing shape along the way. Get more from the time that you spend working out. Get real self-defense skills, both physical and mental.

I received this nice email from Gregg Shapiro after he tested for and passed his Krav Maga black belt test last month:
Hi Randall
I passed my 6+ hour black belt test. Whew, it was tough but I feel like I have so much technical knowledge in my head right now that I want to store it in a safe place in my head forever.
I was thinking that you need to write a Krav book called “Krav Maga Supercharged – perfect your techniques” or something similar to that. Your videos are so helpful and informative and I can watch them again and again. I know ultimately you still have to train and practice. While training I can sometimes pull up a visual memory of some tip in one of your videos and really internalize it.
Anyway, have a great holiday season and happy new year!!
Gregg
Congratulations Gregg on your black belt! And thank you for the email!

This workout shows you how to do the All-Around Fighting Workout but substitute shooting in for a takedown instead of sprawling (Level 2 technique) when “defense” is called out.
This workout is good for any Level 3 students who have started learning takedowns. This video demonstrates the Double Leg Takedown with a Drop Step (Level 3). However, you can use Single Legs (Level 3) or any other type of takedown.

1. Two main reasons why the standard defense fails and how to fix it.
2. How to use your forearm to the attacker’s throat or chin in order to escape this choke in case the standard defense doesn’t work because the attacker is too long and/or drives his hips forward.

Krav Maga Fitness – Bas Rutten Thai Boxing Workout (Same Side Kick Variation).
Our Krav Maga Fitness program integrates a lot of workouts that are specific and functional to our Self Defense and Fighting training.
The workout that is used most often by our students is the Bas Rutten Mixed Martial Arts Workouts.
This workout shows you how to do the Thai Boxing workout but instead of finishing each combination with cadence style striking (left punch-right kick, right punch-left kick), this variation of the workout finishes each combination with the same side leg kicking (left punch-left kick, right punch-right kick.
This workout is a good challenge for students who already feel very comfortable with the cadence style striking combinations. It’s a good way to break up the rhythm and confuse your sparring partner or opponent when throwing combinations at the them.

Excellent video posted by the Krav Maga Worldwide affiliate in Houston.
“I remember the door opening, he pulls me by my wrist, he whispers in my ear ‘it’s okay, it’s okay’ and I remember saying…no it’s not. I honestly don’t know where I’d be if I wasn’t here. It’s teaching me that it’s okay to be connected to something. I needed this. I can’t function without this. I really needed this. I feel like I have a purpose in life now and being on the other side of fear I feel like I can do anything now.” – Ashley Harris

Whether you are comfortable being on the ground and fighting or not, you should be training on the fundamentals of what happens when you hit the ground in a fight.
👊🏻
It doesn’t make sense to only train from superior or dominant positions in a ground fight. You have to know what to do if you find yourself in a spot that you don’t want to be in. Krav Maga Worldwide training will give you the skills and mindset to fight back, win, and go home safe.

Here’s an excellent video by Joseph Valtellini explaining the differences between how you defend in kickboxing and how you defend in MMA because of the glove size difference.
Many of the MMA style defenses he demonstrates are also built into our Krav Maga curriculum. We do similar defenses because you and your attacker will not be wearing any gloves in a street fight.
Thanks to our student Joey for sharing this video!

Krav Maga Fitness – Bas Rutten Thai Boxing Workout (Defensive Techniques Substitution).
Our Krav Maga Fitness program integrates a lot of workouts that are specific and functional to our Self Defense and Fighting training.
The workout that is used most often by our students is the Bas Rutten Mixed Martial Arts Workouts.
This workout shows you how to do the Thai Boxing workout but instead of doing a knee or kick at the end of each punching combination you substitute a defensive technique.
The defensive techniques can be against any type of attack such as punches and kicks.
This workout will develop good habits for sparring and fighting by teaching the student to be prepared for their opponent to attack back after they finish a punch or punching combination.
Here are some of the defensive techniques I use in this video:
1. Defense against Low Round Kick – Using the Shin (Level 2 technique)
2. Defense against Hook Punch – Covering (Level 2)
3. Slipping Punches (Level 2)
4. Weaving (Level 2)
5. Bob (Level 2)
6. Defense against Hook Punch to the Ribs – Covering (Level 2)
7. Bobbing and Weaving (Level 2)
8. Footwork – Retreat and Circling (Level 1)
9. Shoulder Roll/Philly Shell
10. Clinch/Tie-Up (Level 3)
11. Inside Defense (Level 1)
12. Straight Punch with Retreat (Level 1)
13. Inside Defense Low (Level 1)
14. Defense against High Round – Three Points of Contact (Level 3)
15. Inside Defense against Middle to High Front Kick (Level 2)
You can use and defensive movement that you know and integrate them with this workout.
Once a student feels comfortable with this workout and want a faster, more intense pace, they can add defensive movements to the Bas Rutten Boxing workout.

Defenses against a Side Headlock on the Ground
There are many differences in the ground game for sport competition, such as Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), and a real-life self-defense situation.
One of those differences are the type of attacks you will face on the ground and the type of techniques you must learn and practice to counter it.
An example of an attack, or hold, that you see often in street fights but not often in MMA or BJJ competition is the side headlock.
The side headlock is not used often in MMA/BJJ competition because they are limited in their ability to use submission holds and strikes while applying it. They are also vulnerable to losing the hold and having their back taken when fighting another skilled competitor.
However, in a street fight it is common for an untrained attacker to naturally put the defender in a headlock. This becomes even more of a problem if the attacker is much larger and stronger than you (no weight classes in street fights). Even worse is if the attacker has a background in Judo or wrestling (many kids wrestle growing up), then they have been trained to use the headlock, or similar, to pin their opponent on their back. It is even possible for the defender to get neck cranked and receive a catastrophic injury if they don’t know how to escape!
Many MMA and BJJ gyms do not train a lot on side headlock escapes because it’s not a common position they’ll be in when rolling in the gym or in competition.
But for Krav Maga and real fights the side headlock escapes (standing and on the ground) are a very important part of our curriculum and they are drilled constantly.
This video demonstrates one of many side headlock escapes our Krav Maga students learn.
Regardless of what style of martial art you train in, if one of your main goals is to learn how to protect yourself in a real situation, don’t neglect training your side headlock escapes!

Krav Maga – Defense Against High Round Kick – Covering The Ribs (3 Drills To Keep Your Elbow Tight).
A common mistake that is made when executing the Defense Against High Round Kick – Covering the Ribs (Level 3 technique) is not keeping the elbow tight to the ribs. This mistake leaves the defender’s ribs exposed and more likely to get kicked.
This video demonstrates and explains three progressive and corrective drills a student can practice to force them to keep their elbow tight to their ribs while performing this kick defense.
November 17, 2019
Krav Maga defines “combatives” as the ballistic techniques used both in fighting and in self-defense. The bulk of these techniques involves punches, kicks, elbow strikes, knees, sweeps, and throws, but Krav Maga never excludes other combative actions such as biting and scratching. Even if you’re interested in Krav Maga only for self-defense and no interest in fighting, you must learn basic combatives, While Krav Maga self-defense techniques address the danger, combative techniques are vital in order to eliminate subsequent threats. The combative techniques are designed to cause sufficient damage to the attacker in order to remove further threats, while keeping you relatively safe.
In order to teach students how to perform combatives on a resisting attacker, it must be pressure tested through the use of sparring. We use a progressive system of sparring in our curriculum:
Level 1 (Yellow Belt): Sparring is optional but not required.
Level 2 (Orange Belt): Touch contact sparring is required.
Level 3 (Green Belt): Light contact sparring is required.
Level 4 (Blue Belt): Moderate contact sparring is required.
Level 5 (Brown Belt): Heavy contact sparring is required.
Level 5 (Black Belt): Full-contact sparring is required.
This video is an example of our Level 4 students sparring with moderate contact. They work hard but also have fun and try to learn from each other.
Everyone spars everyone regardless of gender or size because you don’t get to pick who your attacker is in a real life self-defense situation.

The majority of our students follow our curriculum which takes a person from a beginner to an advanced Krav Maga practitioner in a structured and progressive manner.
However, we do have some students who want to learn very specific techniques from our curriculum. This afternoon I had a private lesson with a new student who works executive protection. His concern is that he won’t always be armed when working security in certain countries that will not allow him to carry his firearm. He wanted to learn empty hand defenses against armed assaults. He did research online and found our Krav Maga training center to be the most reputable in the area for this type of specific training.
We did two hours of basic defenses against handgun and knife/edged weapon threats. Due to his profession, I made a point of showing him defenses that work for both personal and third party protection.
One of the defenses I taught him was defending a Handgun Threat from the Side, In Front of the Arm (Touching). In this video, I showed him how to use this exact same technique for a defense against a Handgun Threat to the Third Party (Defender to the Side). This follows an important Krav Maga principle: One defense must work against a variety of attacks.
We offer customized training for all types of individuals and organizations such as women’s self-defense, youth groups, security, etc. We offer both private and small group lessons at our training center or we can train your organization at your location. Contact me to discuss your specific needs and I can create a training syllabus based on those needs.

After we teach our students the basic application of the defense against Headlock from the Side (Level 1 technique), we ask the attacker to pressure test it or offer resistance. A common issue that comes up when we pressure test it is the attacker can drag the defender to the ground while the defender attempts the takedown from leveraging the neck. This video addresses how to prevent being dragged to the ground through the use of proper body positioning.

I added a second camera in the training center. The purpose of it is to record students training so they can observe their performance and see what techniques they are doing well and which ones need improvement.
The camera is set to detect motion and immediately start recording. So we should get a recording of every lesson from now on.
If a student requests it, I will upload a video of them training to our student only Facebook group so they can monitor their progress. If you’re an active student of our training center but are not a member of our private student group, send us a request to join.

Krav Maga Fitness – Bas Rutten Boxing Workout (Warm-Up/Cool Down with Heavy Bag, Face Mask & Arms).
Our Krav Maga Fitness program integrates a lot of workouts that are specific and functional to our Self Defense and Fighting training. The workout that is used most often by our students is the Bas Rutten Mixed Martial Arts Workouts.
This video shows how to perform the Bas Rutten Boxing Workout on a heavy bag with the Title Boxing Heavy Bag Striking Mask and MaxxMMA X-Arms attached to it.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
1. In this video I’m performing this as a warm-up before, or a cool down drill after, a hard heavy bag workout. This is why the punches are not performed at full power.
2. I’m intentionally not wearing gloves as I want to feel the impact of my punch on the mask to make sure I’m striking with my two large knuckles and that my wrist is straight. This is vital for Krav Maga since you will not be wearing hand wraps or gloves to protects your hands in a real life self-defense situation. But I am hitting lightly to avoid a potential mishit which could lead to an injury.
3. Each punch lands on the point of the chin to increase the chances of scoring a knockout while improving punching accuracy.
4. The purpose of the arms is to teach you how to throw punches and punch combinations around an opponent’s guard. This is important for Krav Maga students who having started sparring and what their heavy bag training to better carry over to sparring.
5. Notice I change my positioning (left/center/right) while performing the punch combinations. This teaches you to adjust your punches based off the angle, as well as to develop good defensive habits by not staying directly in front of your opponent all the time.
6. The MaxxMMA X-Arms can moved to replicate different guard positions. In this video I positioned them in the basic guard/orthodox stance. But the guard can be changed to simulate a southpaw stance, as well as a high guard, low hand guard, Philly Shell, etc. You can also adjust the arms to replicate guards that are commonly used in specific martial arts styles. Also position the arms similar to the way your sparring partners that you train with hold them.
7. By training at a slower speed it allows me to focus more on my technique such keeping my hands up, good pivots, snapping punches back to the chin, proper footwork, etc.

Debra Eckerling’s Jewish Bucket List. Episode Seven: Krav Maga
Krav Maga is the first thing the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) uses to train new soldiers to get up to speed and ready for combat. But it’s also as much about a mindset as it is about fighting.
I first learned about Krav Maga when I interviewed Amir Perets for the Journal last year. He’s the Israeli who popularized the discipline in Los Angeles. I decided to add taking a class to my Jewish bucket list…

Instinctive movements. Aggressive counterattacks.
💥
We train students to fight back aggressively and by any means necessary because the ultimate goal of our training is for our students to go home safe.
👍🏻
No technique is considered “dirty” or “cheating” or “unfair” if we’re dealing with a scenario in which lives are on the line. We don’t want our students to have to fight…but if they do have to fight, we want them to do damage and get away from the dangerous situation that forced them to take action.

Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense training teaches students to defend and counterattack simultaneously whenever possible. As a system based on the side of self-defense, we aren’t looking to initiate a fight, so focusing just on defending an attack isn’t going to help gain initiative in a physical encounter. Our training teaches students to start fighting back right away. To make damage to an attacker at the same time as making a defense so that we have the best chance of winning the fight and going home safe.

Krav Maga Fitness Program: Bas Rutten Boxing Workout (Repeat The Last Punch).
Our Krav Maga Fitness program integrates a lot of workouts that are specific and functional to our Self Defense and Fighting training. The workout that is used most often by our students is the Bas Rutten Mixed Martial Arts Workouts.
This video shows how to modify the Bas Rutten Boxing Workout by repeating the last punch of each combination. This is a good modification for more physically fit and/or advanced students who already feel comfortable performing the regular boxing workout.
All Level 2 and above students should try this workout after they have mastered the regular version.
Repeating the last punch has the following benefits:
1. It increases the intensity of the workout by forcing you to throw even more punches per round.
2. It teaches you to break up the rhythm of your punching combinations. We normally punch from left-to-right or from right-to-left. By repeating the same side punch it will change up the rhythm of your combinations which can throw off your training partner’s defense while sparring.
3. Many of our Krav Maga self defense techniques involve throwing repeated punches from the same side. This workout will help you with those defenses that involve repeated combatives thrown from the same side.
Important Note: For the sake of this video, I performed the combinations while staying in one place. Normally, I would be using more footwork while doing the workout such as advancing in when starting the combination, retreating after finishing a combination, and circling between combinations.

My good dudes and dudettes! As you know, we have a dress code at the school. Tops AND bottoms should have Krav Maga on them, whether it be official branding, items you found online or the dreaded “tape of shame”. The Krav Maga branding on both the top and bottom is our official “school uniform”.
Knowing how annoying it is to wait for something in the mail, we have brought you a quick cheap solution! PATCHES!
Have some comfy pants you like training in? Throw a patch on it. Favorite shirt that hugs you just right? Throw a patch on it. Want to rep your Krav Maga training on a sweatshirt in the sub arctic conditions of South Florida? Throw a patch on it! All you have to do is buy one of these and stitch it on! Can’t sew?! That’s ok!! SIMONE CAN!!
For only $5 per patch you will never be noncompliant again!! Get them while supplies last!

How to improve your chances against an active shooter
The phenomenon of mass shooting has grown and changed over the years. So has the thinking on how best to survive one. Experts say that there is no single response that works in every situation because each one is different. Their best advice is to keep your options open, what’s known as the multi-option response.
Those options include evacuating, barricading and attacking — or run, hide, fight as they’re often termed.
Our Krav Maga training center specializes in the “attack/fight” option to mass shootings. Contact us for information about our Active Shooter Neutralization courses.

This video discusses why it’s important to strike with your shin while performing the Round Kick to escape the Foot Grab and one reason why you might be having trouble with this and how to fix the problem.

One of the many things that sets Krav Maga Worldwide apart from other Krav Maga training organizations is that our Chief Instructor Darren Levine trained with and received his black belt from Imi Lichtenfeld himself.
🙌🏻
Our Chief Instructor Darren Levine was training in Krav Maga in Israel before most of the Western world even knew what Krav Maga was. Darren was hand-picked by Imi to bring Krav Maga to, and teach Krav Maga in, America.
💪🏻
Our history and pedigree are unique. Krav Maga Worldwide is the original source of Krav Maga training in America and under Darren’s guidance we’ve maintained Imi’s standards of training and his vision of a world where everyone can walk in peace.

Some ideas on how to deal with overly-angry or aggressive people at the airport or on the road comes from an expert in Krav Maga, the Israeli self-defense and fighting system.
Learn basic protection skills. Sometimes doing your part and attempting to defuse an aggressive person doesn’t work. It’s important for your safety that you equip yourself with basic self-defense skills that can stop someone from assaulting you. Most self-defense classes also teach verbal and body language skills, which can be helpful in deterring assailants in such situations.

Hiho! JJ here coming at you with a video I found online.
The video speaks for itself, but there was a good quote from the person that posted it over on Instagram:
“Watch your space…when they get too close watch their hands…”
Stay vigilant guys.

A student from the Krav Maga Worldwide affiliate in Lubbock, Texas used her Krav Maga skills last night to successfully defend herself in a real situation:
We have a student that had to use Krav last night, and did so successfully. She was confronted by a stranger while walking to her car. After attempting to de-escalate the situation by talking to him, the man violently grabbed her arm. She elbowed him with the other arm in the face and knee’d him in the body. The man let go and ran away after being hit with those two combatives, and our student went home with only a small bruise where she was grabbed.
We always hope that you’ll never have to use the skills we teach, but we’re glad to hear that our student is doing well (and are very proud of her for kicking ass when needed! She even had to use her opposite fighting stance!)
This is why we train and teach. If you feel like you need training like this, please reach out to us.

Krav Maga Fitness Program: Bas Rutten Boxing Workout (Straight Punches Only With Resistance Band).
Our Krav Maga Fitness program integrates a lot of workouts that are specific and functional to our Self Defense and Fighting training.
The workout that is used most often by our students is the Bas Rutten Mixed Martial Arts Workouts.
This workout shows how to shadow train using a resistance band to increase punching speed and power.
I’ve tested different resistance band and discovered the following:
1. Different brands and models of resistance bands come in different lengths, strengths and each feel differently. I currently have two different brands/models at our training center. The Everlast FIT Shadow Boxer and the TITLE Boxing Resistance Band Shadow Boxer (the one used in this video). I found the TITLE band was a little smaller and worked for better for my build. The Everlast model will work better for my larger students.
2. Most resistance bands don’t offer much resistance when throwing punches other than Straight Punches. When trying it out with Hooks, Uppercuts, and Overhands it felt awkward and didn’t provide much tension.
3. Due to reason #2 above I modified this workout by only throwing Straight Punches (Jabs and Crosses). Any left punch called out I would always throw a Jab. Any right punch called out I would throw a Cross.
4. I will continue to test out different brands and models of punching resistance bands in the future.
5. If I find a better model of resistance band that works for Hooks, Uppercuts, and Overhand Punches in the future, I will make another video demonstrating the normal Bas Rutten Boxing Workout combinations using it.
