I watched FIGHT QUEST - I tot the Israeli mossad martial art was kick ass

It's called Krav Maga, I am going to learn that after my NS

 

[Avidaxis]

[iman]

krav maga...hmmm is it available in spore? who uses this form of martial arts?

 

[wolfcry91]

its a simple but kinda efficient type of self defense.. its not a sport though.. im doin brazilian jiu jitsu.. cheers!

 

[teokiatuan]

I saw a beginner Krav Maga lesson at SAFRA Tampines the other day, I think its a very cool and hip martial arts nowadays. lol

As for me, I did Brazilian Jujitsu(yellow belt) and moved on from there unofficially, and practiced Silat from my grandfather.haha.and I am/was a middleweight class boxer. Not kick-boxing, just boxing. People always get it confused..But kinda a pity that the sport is dying

Silat is way more powerful than Krav Maga in my opinion, its so swift and agile, but at the same time, utilises mental strength more to withstand long-duration fighting, instead of physical strength...but of course, I'm too bulky to 'snake' around :/.. Anyone do greco-roman wrestling? I heard it was more bad-ass than wrestling. I dunno..haha

Krav Maga emphasises on improvisation and underhanded tactics like hitting where it hurts... You get what I mean. That's what makes is so useful. Oh the US marine thing is called the McMap training course.

As for me, I did Brazilian Jujitsu(yellow belt) and moved on from there unofficially,

hey dude.. brazilian jiu jitsu does not hv a yellow belt.. if u hv a yellow belt, its traditional jiu jitsu aka japanese jiu jitsu..

 

[Vocalistman]

Lol..Yea, I remembered it was called 'Jujitsu' only though. The sensei is from Brazil though, but I'm not sure if he has direct teaching from Hickson Gracie, considering him a yodan-level back then..Nyway, so I assumed it was a BJ. lol


Anybody do Silat and/or boxing here?
