    I train after Fairbairn's manual "Get tough!" its ok but I think it the training would be more effective if I had a teacher/class to learn from.

    manuals are ok sometimes but the draw back of a book is that it cant correct you if your doing something wrong. Also alot of times books take readers straight to the point and leave out alot of info.

    Shootfighting. Best backpain I ever had.
    Quite new, developed in the 40'ies. Lots of para units and others use it as cc training.

    YAO, to find out things use internet [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

    Here is your answer though.

    [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

    Krav Maga was originally devised and created by Imi Lichtenfeld (1910 - 1998).

    Originally from Bratislava this natural athlete, boxer and wrestler learned the basics of self-defence from his police instructor father before developing his skills during the dark times of European history in the 1930's.

    After many years of struggle he went to Palestine and fought for the Independence of Israel. On creation of the state of Israel Imi became the Chief Instructor to the newly created Israeli defence force (IDF).

    The technique's of hand-hand fighting he taught became known as Krav Maga - which translates as "Contact Combat"

    After leaving the army in the 1960's Imi adapted Krav Maga to everyday life situations faced by men, women and children.

    Over the years Krav Maga's blend of self-defence and hand-to-hand combat techniques have evolved to become recognised around the world as being an innovative, effective and highly practical method of teaching self defence.


    Krav Maga continues to adapt to the ever changing world, both globally and locally, under the guidance of Chief Instructor Eyal Yanilov, and members of the Global Instructors team.

    In addition to the obvious benefits and uses of Krav Maga for the law enforcement and military communities, everyone - whether they are male, female, young or old - across the world can feel more confident and safer by developing their natural instincts for self defence with Krav Maga.


    I FIND THAT KRAV MAGA IS GREAT, IT SHOWS YOU TO TAKE YOUR OPPONENT TO THE GROUND IN THE QUICKEST WAY, GIVING YOU TIME
    TO LEAVE QUICKLY.

    mmmm..lets face it. Best way to face close combat is wearing a back up weapon. Never forget that tiny lil thing sticking out yer stockings, but ok, K that look good. However, shootfighting as I mentioned, is training with no weapons against someone who have it all. Just hope he wont fire first and fight later...
