No. Krav Maga is a lot different than the traditional martial arts in the fact that most traditional forms of Karate are rigid, dogmatic and teaching the same thing for years upon years. Depending on the kind there is a large element of the “art” aspect. A lot of other styles also tend to move more towards the sport aspect with many rules limiting the practitioner. Krav Maga is different.
Krav Maga is a no rules, go home safe real life self defense style. Within krav maga we train to defend ourselves from positions of disadvantage. We run drills that create real life situations where we may be disoriented, fatigued, stressed, etc…THEN we need to fight for our life. We aren’t always pretty but we always get the job done.
