“ Budo”. A martial art, from any kind, demands from us the ability to do certain things. In some point across each martial art we are also asked to prove our capability and defenses against knife in the krav-maga show it more than anything else. The learning of these defenses in the krav-maga is a long process. It is impossible in just a few lessons to learn how to do knife defenses effectively. Everybody who had experienced this know it.

But the truth is that inside the original and complete krav-maga created by Imi, we have all the answers. We just need to know and to learn and to keep all the small details. Of course, we cannot avoid the fact that we are required to have some additional basic physical features, like flexibility, speed and an accurate reaction capability.
