    Eclectic

    What about the Krav Maga or Systema system

  2. #2
    While Krav Maga is good in the military sense, the civilian version taught to Americans is nothing of the sort. Systema I hear only B.S on.

    Stick with what works. Take a look at what pro's and law enforement and military work with. In general if it's something taught at the local gold's gym...I wouldn't take it as anything worthwhile.

    It is the art of avoiding dangerous situations. It helps you to avoid a dangerous situation by not actually being there. So lets say there is a dangerous situation going on somewhere other than your couch. You are safely seated on your couch so you have in a nutshell "difused" the situation."

    Dear Van

    Do you know what s u talk about or just give ur opinion .....I mean giving ur feeling without any experience of this system ...just talk

    Krav maga is like Kajukenbo .....Systema is a modern pa kua style....very effective
    but a advance system for advanced students....

    Advance systems for advanced students? Is that the new euphemism for looks cool but doesn't work?

    The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.

    Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.

    Yes...it is an educated opinion. There are some places here locally that teach Krav Maga, but again, the civilian version is not the same as the original stuff. It's been altered to appeal to its target market.

    Systema, yes it's only an opinion. Still educated though. I've done a lot of martial arts, and unless this guy came up with a new physiological way for a person to move--than I believe the hype out there that says it's b.s. Think about it...

    The real question is who DOESN'T change the style to fit a target market? I don't feel that martial arts is a product that should be changed or watered down just to make a buck.

    My background? What's your background?
