Krav Maga Situation Class

Each tech discuss Problem / possible solution / dynamic technique

Slow technique from all angles & sides

Warm up

Tech 1

Pre-emptive attacks, long range—discuss their need

Attacker to front

Front kick—Attacker holds shield and is approx 6 ft away, attacker moves towards, defender executes a from kick with a pushing motion.

(Have attacker be side on to you as he turns and moves forward this initiates a response from you this is for front and side only)

2nd attacker attacks with a bat / stick attack, and defender defends counters and disarms.

Attacker to side

As above but attacker moves towards defender with shield from side, use a step or skip side kick to take out the attacker

(higher level students can defend against over head and side bat swing attacks)

Tech 2

Close range threats—Discuss the higher level of danger

Knife to side of throat

Try both 1 & 2 handed control and discuss benefits of both, i.e. single handed control will allow a faster counter with the other hand a 2 handed control will allow a faster use of the weapon against the attacker

(higher level students must vary the type of threat with different grabs and holds during the threat)

2nd attacker rushes forward with shield, side kick or front kick attackers shield

As defence depending on his location.

Knife to throat from rear

Always 2 handed control until after counter attack has been executed. Grab wrist & hand and pull way from neck, pivot and turn under attackers arm. Counter with kick or other attack.

2nd attacker attacks with a knife in a straight stab manner, defend, counter and disarm

Higher level students may also defend against straight and circular knife stabs.

Cool down & stretch.
