One of many Krav Maga system principles is to “analyze and use the environment as much as possible”.
🪑
In this video my Level 1 private lesson student Carl is practicing a defense against a Choke from the Front. After learning the defense out in our padded training room, I had him practice the defense in our lobby while being attacked over a table.
📹
In the past, I’ve had two students who have worked as bartenders tell me they have been attacked over the bar counter similar to this.

It is our training center’s traditional to have extra hard workouts on the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday after Thanksgiving. This way you can overeat guilt free on Thanksgiving Day and then train hard that weekend to burn off all the calories!

One of many ways we implement this training principle is to practice in low-light/night time conditions since it’s common for assaults to happen when it’s dark.
🌙
Last night in our Level 1 (beginner) class our students learned how to defend against a Choke from Behind with a Push. After training all the combatives (striking) techniques on pads and then putting them together with a partner to create an effective defense against this attack, we finished the class by training the defense with the lights off against random classmates.

This summer we had the privilege to train the Houser family: Kale and Liz with their two sons Kye and Shea. For two weeks they trained Krav Maga twice a day, six days a week to learn our entire Level 1 (beginner) curriculum. They would do semi-private lessons for just their family in the mornings and then come back to train in our group classes in the evenings.
🗓
The Houser family travels all over the world for Kale’s work. Kale wants his family to be as prepared as possible if something were to endanger their safety. He chose for his family to visit South Florida for two weeks with the specific intent of his family learning Krav Maga at our training center.
🌎
Kale could have chose any Krav Maga or self-defense program in the world for his family to learn from but he specifically chose our program. We are honored he chose us! We respect the hard work the family put into their training. And if his family is ever back in South Florida we would love to work with them again!

The world is a dangerous place. There are a lot of weapons out there and they are not always in the hands of the good guys. In this workshop we will teach techniques to allow you to defend yourself when threatened with a handgun. We will go into detail on the different types of threats, identify your best options, and the methods necessary to take control of the situation.

Try a free Introduction to Krav Maga Israeli Self-Defense and Fighting!
👊🏻
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
April 12, 2021
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.
👊🏻
Training with us will get you in the best shape of your life. It will make you stronger, leaner, healthier. It will also give you the tactics and skills you need to fight back and win if your life is on the line.

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.

🤷🏻♂️
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.

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.

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).
August 13, 2020
Tomorrow I’m going to publish the first video to a new playlist or series titled “Krav Maga Fundamentals”.

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!

In this Student Section video we address the two most common questions from students in regards to the Inward Angle Knee (Level 3 technique):
1. Why would I use the Inward Angle Knee instead of the Round Knee (Level 1)?
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.

I’ve had several student ask me to record a video of myself doing the Level 2 warm-up drill that we often do at the beginning of class. They want to make sure they are doing it correctly when training on their own during open gym times at our training center or at home.
I just uploaded this video to our student only Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1967013023593395/
If you want a copy of the Krav Maga Level 2 warm-up audio MP3 file, please contact me. I’ll reply with an email through Dropbox that will contain a download link.

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.

Krav Maga – Full Nelson: Leverage The Fingers (Importance of Pinching Your Elbows)
In this Self-Defense Student Section video we go over the following reasons why pinching your elbows to your ribs while performing the Defense against a Full Nelson: Leveraging the Fingers (Level 3 technique) is important:
1. Preventing the Full Nelson from being fully locked in the first place. (Position of Prevention).
2. Preventing the Full Nelson from being re-applied after you Leverage the Fingers.
3. Making the actual escape from the Full Nelson and transition to counterattacks easier.

Thank you to Ed Weiner with Pro-Tech Air for installing an ultraviolet (UV) light to our training center’s air conditioning unit.
UV light sterilizes mold, bacteria, and viruses. Just another step we’ve taken to keep our training center as clean and disinfected as possible.
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.

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.

I received this email late last night from Krav Maga Worldwide Headquarters. I’ll give everyone an update when I get more details. As of March 20, we are not closed yet. -Randall
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.

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.

Train for the worst situations possible.
🔥
Know what to do when things are bad. Train in a such a way that you are able to maintain focus and act decisively in the toughest of times.
👊🏻
Krav Maga Worldwide training is about being able to react, fight back, win and go home safe. We’re never training from the position of being the attacker. We train for self-defense, not offense, so we must consider the worst circumstances and how to overcome them.
💪🏻
Krav Maga Worldwide training makes people safer and stronger. Physically and mentally. It’s about being ready. Staying ready and having the skills to fight back, win, and go home safe. Every time.
