Principles of Krav Maga - Efficiency

- Extracted from Facebook group
- Posting by Mr. Boaz Aviram

Krav Maga is not based on stamina.

While many sports build strength and stamina, if you are not going to look for the most efficient way to fight, your opponent might, and he will probably win if he does.

Efficiency is getting used to do the shortest easiest move that will end the confrontation, looking for the most effective and efficient pressure point.

If you train few times a week for years to try to choke or create an armbar, or get to the floor, these training habits will stick with you and will not easily get rid of in a time of self defense conflict which may take only few seconds.

While your confidence will be great from the training it might be false since you are not accustomed to deal with a more efficient opponent that does not waste his time on a sports confrontation and is looking to hurt you quickly with disregards to your safety and life.

*Self defense is a subset of Martial arts*

*Reality based self defense training cannot always be 100% real, because there may be no one left to train with! But do it real enough or else RBSD is just a bullshit term* - Me

*Train for what happens most and you will be able to handle most of what happens -- Marc "Animal" MacYoung*
