Krav Maga, Or kickboxing/Muay Thai?

Posted at: 2015-05-07 
Surviving on the streets is actually more about survivor mentality and understanding your surroundings than a set of techniques. A good krav maga school (or any school or styles that teaches self defense) will drill this mentality into their students through the training, techniques, and conditioning. Surprisingly, a lot of martial art schools and styles do not understand self defense mentality.

However, there are a lot of krav maga fakers out there these days. I hear that quite a few instructors are buying bogus certificates in the style (take it with a grain of salt, I got no evidence).

There is no best style.

They will all work as long as you train right and have a good instructor.

styles are made to adapt to your body type

Your size, body type and sex have nothing to do with the style you want to choose. People that think that your size and body type determine the style know little to nothing about martial arts

Most people will tell you there style is the best or they heard such and such is a great style,

The style is not important, what matters is how good your instructor is and how you train. The style is secondary, they all have there pro's and con's there are no superior styles.

If you have an instructor that can’t teach you how to fight, regardless of the style, what good would it do you?

Choose a school with a good instructor in the end that’s all that matters, that and how you train.

Its the person that has the ability to fight not the style

Both could be good. Choose what you feel is right for you. But don't try wrestling cuz wrestling is for gay people

I recently started one to one lessons in black dragon kickboxing my instructor calls it this because it's his own style made up from wrestling kickboxing/Muay Thai with Kung fu techniques and abit of multiple opponent self defence but I have had another instructor offer me Krav Maga lessons he says this is better for the street if you want to learn how to deal with any situation and learn how to survive and quickly take out your opponent/opponents I need to know do I stay with what I'm doing or go to Krav Maga? Based on street self defence/ learning how to fight in the street an walk away a winner what's more beneficial?
