Lately I’ve been having such a hard time during sparring lately. When I spar with people my size— for reference I’m 5’2, 125lbs woman—, I tend to be more successful (successful meaning I learn something). When I spar with people larger than me even if they’re a lower rank than me, I just get my arms pinned to the ground and all their weight put on me and I don’t learn anything or get anything out of it except become a punching bag for the larger guys. Some important context to note is, I’m a brown belt, but over the past 5 months each month I’ve gotten either a broken nose or a concussion, wh ..read more

Hi all, anyone have advice for hitting the defense from a leg grab technique? I'm 5'2 and cannot seem to get the right leverage/positioning. The only way I can break out when my leg is grabbed is to put the entire emphasis on making the crossface as painful as possible. Kicking my leg back doesn't seem to do anything. I'm sprawling as much as possible - maybe too much? I can't tell if the issue is being much shorter, or just bad positioning on my part. While practicing the technique tonight several times I got taken down, so I just pivoted to get them in an armbar (they tapped out! So that's ..read more

Hi all, I did a quick search in the forum for manuals, and though I found some interesting convos with Danny Zelig, I didn’t see anyone mentioning specific manuals or training documentation that I could track down. Does anyone have recommendations to share? Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/w00k27612 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Today during normal light sparring my partner grabbed the back of my head and pushed me face first into the ground, pretty much throwing me on my hand and knees (I feel quite lucky I caught myself tbh). He is about twice my size but I managed to touch him lightly with my gloves a couple of times before this happened. This is not how we normally spar at my gym so it really took me by surprise and I was quite shocked by it, but kept going. I’ll also note I am female so unsure if that played a part and his ego got the better of him, and this also feeds into my question being the point of this po ..read more

Hello, 4th year design student here - what am I doing here, you may ask? I'm making a manga/comic book for my finale project here, and my main character is not very good with guns so he uses knives and martial arts (mainly krav maga, mixed with taekwon-do for kicks) Since I have little to no experience with drawing martial arts I was mondering if you guya can send me links for videos taht feature krav maga or maybe a collection of pictures and so on. If you find a video that also shows them moves from interesting angels it's even better! Thank you for listening to my silly request :) submitt ..read more

I currently train BJJ and have thought about adding something else to the mix. I find the gym a bit dull and often unmotivated. So even if I just do Krav for fitness and fun hobby, could I still get benefits? submitted by /u/thatfatbastard0001 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
