I will surely try that out! Thanks for the tip!

Krav Maga is not the most beautiful fighting style – there is no way to be nice about it. It gets the job done in the quickest time possible, but lacks the grace other martial arts have.

Krav Magra is a serious fighting style. My sensi (who is in the Kenpo Hall of Fame, described it as “Kenpo done poorly,”

From him, that’s a compliment!

Start your reverse punch chambered close to the body at your side with the palm upward and the elbow pointing straight back. Then twist to the normal knuckle up position in the last third of the distance as you strike. Do not hyper extend the arm. Whether you want to snap it back or not is your choice.

If your opponent is very close to you, go from that same chambered position and instead of using your fist, move the elbow from where it is in a six to twelve o’clock motion straight ahead and strike their chin with the elbow. That’il make them an EC devote’ 🙂

Haha, yes, my straight punches aren’t really great. What I learned in Krav Maga so far was mainly concerned with pulling motions that involve your knee / hand making contact with someone’s nose or joint and, uh, applying force 😀

Exactly! The entire image of bodybuilding has been taken over by the kind of people you describe. I sometimes wonder what Eugen Sandow would make of this development.

So, does he look as good in real life? 😉

I suppose I would be considered to be in the Bruce Lee mold in terms of combining bodybuilding and the martial arts. Lean and mean, lol

Flexibility is inherent in martial arts training from my experience and I have the pulled muscles to prove it!

If you watch MMA, one of the problems with highly muscled fighters is all that muscle mass requires a lot of blood and energy so these fighters rarely have good endurance. Of course for the first few minutes, they are quite formidable.

Forgive me on this, but I’m guessing that you do not have much martial arts training. I am saying this because the punches you throw in the video have incorrect form from what I have learned. I apologize in advance if I am mistaken.

My martial arts background is:

Some jujitsu and judo but no rank, I wrestled in college, First degree Black in Tae Kwon Do, and up to third degree Black in Kenpo. I have also studied Shotokan and Wing-chun kung fu as Bruce Lee was involved with the Kenpo organization that trained me.
