Krav Maga is actually an Israeli martial art.

In terms of self defense having some co-ordination and knowing how to use your body is just as good as knowing some martial art. Most people (myself included) havent gotten into fisticuffs since we were 11 years old so tend to spazz out at any physical confrontation. Being able to take a punch and knowing how to push someone over is all that is necessary. Simple hard objects like your mobile phone can be used as hard striking objects.

Krav Maga is not technically a martial art.

You have also slightly misleadingly quoted me there. The first example was an historical curiosity nothing more, but adjoined it would appear I was contradicting myself when I wasn't.

Krav Maga is a self defence technique that trains you not to panic in physical confrontations, how defend yourself and then stop your attacker from anymore violent acts including and especially using any weapon he might be threatening you with.

I would recommend it to anyone, women especially as it does not require brute force.

I hate violence like any rational sentient being but I would rather know how defend myself and my loved ones in any given situation and unlike martial arts you could be competent within six months.
