PRINCIPLE
One basic principle of Krav Maga is to redirect the opponent's own strength to put him at a disadvantage. Every joint in the body is designed to bend a specific way, and by forcing it in the other direction, it snaps. Size has little impact on how effective a fighter is due to the method of continuing an opponent's momentum to add to the velocity of a strike, force a throw or to create separation. Generally, there are no rules in Krav Maga as a defense fighting technique which is not regulated but utilized to keep the user safe and incapacitate the opponent by any means necessary.
TRAINING
Basic training is a mixed aerobic and anaerobic workout. Protective pads and other personal protection equipment may be used during initial training. Scenarios are used to train personnel for situations typically encountered in street patrol or combat situations. Training scenarios teach students to ignore distractions.[17] Other training methods to increase realism might include blindfolding or exercising trainees to near exhaustion before dealing with a simulated attack, as well as training outdoors on a variety of surfaces and restrictive situations.
BENEFITS
Training also covers situational awareness to develop an understanding of one's surroundings and potentially threatening circumstances before an attack occurs. It may also cover ways to deal with potentially violent situations, and physical and verbal methods to avoid violence whenever possible.
