Principles of Krav Maga
Use whatever works. We operate on the premise that there are no limiting rules of engagement when it comes to protecting yourself.
3 part process-
Address the immediate danger.
Violently counter attack.
Evacuate the danger zone.
Our goal is to dominate and neutralize the threat as quickly as possible. We do not want to get into a fight and exchange blow for blow with someone we don't know anything about (i.e. their capabilities, strength, speed, etc.)
Retzef: continuous and aggressive combat motion to overwhelm the opposition.
Reset attacker's thought process by inflicting pain and disrupting their balance.
You don't beat someone physically by paining them into submission of the street, you defeat someone psychologically and physiologically.
All attacks are targeted to vulnerable parts of the body such as the eyes, nose, ears, throat, groin, knees, and spine.
Maintain situational awareness while dealing with a threat in order to look for additional attackers, escape routes, and weapons of opportunity.
