Would you consider Krav Maga good for self defense?

Posted at: 2014-09-13 
Structurally, Krav Maga is a dedicated self-defense system. There is no sporting component whatever... No "art" or anything like that.

However, as with any such system, it's totally dependent on the quality of instruction and the way one practices and trains. A flaw of the system is that there is no real governing body.... So nearly anyone can hang out a "Krav Maga taught here" sign and teach without any real experience or qualification.

Mark, hit the nail on the head. Krav Maga is a great system, but quality instruction is the key. Research any Krav Maga instructor to make sure his credentials are legit.

Krav Maga is good for a quick fix but only good against an untrained opponent...if you are in a hurry to learn though and get a basic self defense foundation then krap maga is for you...no offense lol I just don't like km that much but against an untrained opponent it'll help you stay safe

depends on the teacher and if you are in the US then i say about 95% of the teachers are guys who never been in a real fight and like to make money of kids who think that this fighting style can turn them into jason statham so that's just a heads up...
