Great Simplifier Krav Maga
BY MOSHE KATZ
CEO
ISRAELI KRAV INTERNATIONAL
July 9, 2023, Israel
Participants in the IKI Tour and Train program learning to protect themselves around a car.
People seek wisdom, people seek peace of mind, people seek to learn new skills, or new languages, yet all of these are challenging. People will study many books'; how to succeed in business, how to learn new languages, how to develop the habits that make one rich, successful and happy. But what if they found one book that contained all these many books in one? Ideally that would simplify matters.
That is precisely what we are aiming to achieve in Krav Maga. As the rabbis say, it is not for you to complete the task and yet you are not free to desist from it. (Ethics of the Fathers, about 2,000 years ago). And so, we do not desist from it. Each and every week we train, playing out scenarios that actually took place or that might take place in the future. We do not want you to have to search all over the world; Judo, Karate, Kickboxing, Kung fu, Mongolian wrestling, Sumo, so we try to put it all together in "one book".
We develop simple techniques, based only on gross motor moves. We use techniques that use your bodys' instinct. We use techniques that do not rely upon memorization. Thus, it becomes much easier to learn than traditional martial arts, even the traditional early forms of Krav Maga. We use one thread, one concept that runs through all of our techniques, whether standing, sitting, in a car, in a bar, on a stool, with a fool, in a plane, on a crane, on a hill, in a mill, etc.
Learning is difficult, let's face it. Most people that will set out to learn something, will fail. This is a proven fact. Of 10,000 people that enter a martial arts school, estimates are that perhaps 2-4 students will someday earn their black belts. When I was in university, graduate school, more than 65% did not complete the program. Guitar? Piano? a new language? the number that succeeds is so low it is difficult to calculate. But self-defense is simply too important. We don't want you to fail. It is not about not earning a degree, it is about your life.
It is about that moment you hope will never come when a stranger comes out of the dark, turns on you with a knife, or a gun, or catches you from behind with a rope. What will you do? It is when you walk to your car and find it surrounded with a bunch of neighborhood thugs, a local gang, but it is not Cool and Gang, they want your money, your car, and perhaps more.
We are here to help. Our aim is to simplify self-defense, get in down to the core, the basics, that everyone can learn in a reasonable amount of time. That is our task.
