I had a yellow belt in taekwando
`b o d a c i o u s`
I learnt it in Army school
No actually it was orange
I attended 2 classes
Not rad
😄
From actual soldiers
was it a rad orange belt tho?
Not karate "masters"
I learned some Krav Maga in the military
From actual soliders
Was still mostly a joke
I'm not familiar with krav maga
look it up
It's what they teach you in the IDF
it's the one thing jews did right
Honestly from what I know about not sure if you can really consider it a martial art
it's just how to fight
it was made after ww2 to defend themself in unarmed combat. and it was made to dusable the oponet to a point where he was in no shape to get back up in a shot amount of time and all dirty tricks in the book was ok
They just thought me how to hit someone in the face with an M16
oh lawd
no
it's alot more
the IDF teaches and uses it in combat
and it has proven to be pretty effective
I know, I barely had any Krav Maga in my training, but I still don't think it's really like a marital art
It's not like Karate
calling it an evolving combat style is more right I think
They don't teach you how to beat someone in the ring
It's a hand to hand combat technique. semantics at this stage
or an 'unarmed combat.. something'
there's a very British word that I'm forgetting
but it would fit perfectly
It literaly means "touch fight". Though a better translation would probably be just "hand to hand combat"
but then martial arts are failed oldschool combat styles
