Training, dealing with krav maga, practicing the system, you’ll gain different skills, different abilities. You’ll also gain qualities. One of them is confidence and you’ll start projecting confidence. In this case, you will have the ability to prevent, avoid, de-escalate violent confrontations. And that’s one of our main goals in the system, not to get into a confrontation. If we are able to do that, this is naturally great. We don’t want to fight. We want to solve problems without the violence.
Imi used to say, “Be humble. Be modest.” The idea here, that if you are humble, if your ego is low, then you’ll get less into confrontations. You have to prove nothing to nobody. People don’t intimidate you. You don’t have the urge to fight. You don’t have the urge to punish. You don’t have the urge to attack somebody.
However, if you do go into a violent confrontation, let’s say you failed, you could not prevent, de-escalate, avoid the attack or the attackers. What to do? In this case, you’ll have to do your best. Use all your skills, all your abilities, all your knowledge and experience in order to foil any attack, to deal with any type of attacker, to solve the problem. It’s very clear to understand. If you do not solve it, if you stop, if you freeze, if you do not continue, you may get injured severely.
In this level of practitioner two, we are focusing a lot on what to do against attackers who are coming from the sides and from the rear. Train well, and succeed.
A. Circular Strikes Hooks (Roundhouses) & Uppercuts
Notes: Start drilling both strikes first from a semi-passive stance, then from a ready stance; for the hooks, while in ready stance the front-hand strike has two variations.
D. Kicks
E. Series of Attacks – to the front, side and rear; with different targets, heights and angles
F. Inside Defenses with Palm or Forearm Against Straight Punches
G. Outside Defenses Against Punches
H. Body Defense with Hand Strike to Groin
I. Defending Against an Opponent Attacking from Different Angles
J. Leg Defenses Against Kicks [from passive and ready ('outlet') stances]
Note: Technique no.1 is first applied against regular kicks and later against roundhouse and sidekicks. Techniques 3 and 4 are used against an attack delivered to an unknown height. Use the forearm as previously learned, bony or muscular parts for inside or outside defenses.
K. Choke Releases (including Distance Timeline)
Note: When lack of force, use two hands to remove one of attacker's chocking hand.
L. Defenses Against a Knife Threat (including Distance Timeline)
N. Choke Releases While on the Ground
O. Using Common Objects – Small Objects to Distract
Note: This is used primarily in a situation before an actual attack is made, mainly during the threat stage or in the very early stages of an attack.
Q. Returning Attacker (defend -- attack -- defend)
1. Releases
