"Being a law enforcement officer I can certainly attest to the combat effectiveness of Krav Maga. You can try some other forms of self defense, but you may only come away with a false sense of security...with Krav you'll come away with real world combat proven confidence. I teach CQB (close quarters battle) techniques to patrol officers and SWAT. I can spot techniques that are made to look good, but are ineffective when the real thing happens...Krav is not one of them. Krav Maga is no sport, it is designed to disable or subdue your attacker in a matter of seconds. I've been instructed in many forms of self defense and by far the Krav techniques I have available to me are the best. Krav will teach you how to prepare for a confrontation, how to avoid a confrontation by being more aware and how to conduct yourself after the confrontation. I tell my officers that the world is a 360 degree environment, play for real. The more you sweat in training the less you bleed in combat..."
