Krav Maga is neither a sport nor a traditional martial art because it does not have illegal blows. It develops the study of two situations: self-defence and hand-to-hand fighting. In the self-defence the techniques are simple and there is always a counterattack. There is no choice, the defence is a duty. In hand-to-hand fighting there are also other factors, such as tactics, strategy and the extended length.

Moreover there is the possibility whether to decide or retreat.

Strength, coordination, reflexes and speed are at the bases of this discipline.The movements must be simple, quick and effective. Krav Maga technique teaches to defend yourself both from a technical point of view and from a psychological one. It is very important to learn the right physical technique and reach the right mental level: in this way the ability of reacting to obstacles improves and so it is possible to be more self-confidence. All Krav Maga movements are logical and they have, as final aim, the teaching of the tactics.

There are no fixed techniques that you can always use under certain circumstances. The assaults may be different, the attacker’s height may be different, just like the technique and the experience. In conclusion, there are many different situations and every time something changes.
