weighing the worth of a krav maga school / instructor?
I am interested in taking up a martial art, and have been looking into military styles like Krav Maga. I have heard some dubious things about the way the art is taught here in the states, though, so I am wary of signing. I want to learn to fight and to compete with people who are around my age, strength level, and fitness ability. I've heard mixed reviews overall on a martial arts school near my school but nothing but glowing praise about the krav maga program. Without giving too much away, here are the head instructor's stats:
Black belt in Krav Maga (association not indicated)
Six years in Army 3rd special forces group (airborne)
Black belt in Chung Do Kwan.
"Extensive experience" in Muay Thai Kickboxing and Chi Na.
Certified in the US Army Level 2 Combative Program, several years of teaching experience in same
Does it sound reputable? I am wondering why he is only a Level 2, and I am not sure how to verify his credentials. I would appreciate some input into this.
sounds to me he is a martial artist but out side of the muay thai nothing else really impresses me chung do kwan and chi na are fine but can you really use the stuff is is it just preety names leval army combative is ok but most places require a level for to teach it plus its preety much just a trimed down version of brazillan jiu jitsu,army special forces they are tough guys but can he giht hand to hand and i did not even know krav maga had a belt system
Krav maga the isreali art is great it workd very well for the isreali defece force "army" but in general street fighitng cases just take up boxing or kick boxing braziallian jiu jitsu traditional jiu jit su somehtign like that krav maga is military trianign program it would probably help you but to me seems like overkill like the attacking wiht the rifle creating space and shooting stuff like that is not realisitic unless your in the militray in war zone
