Getting Started in Krav Maga Combat

Does Krav Maga distinguish between training men and women?

No, the system is designed for people of all shapes, sizes, and physical abilities regardless of age or sex. The same krav maga techniques, with minor modifications, are taught to both men and women.

Do classes incorporate full contact fighting?

Yes and no. Krav Maga, because of its nature, must be practiced under controlled conditions. Because striking at the body's vulnerable parts is Krav Maga's underlying counterattack principle, caution must be applied when using the techniques especially to the groin, throat and eyes.

However, controlled sparring with protective gear and groundwork is an integral part of the Krav Maga curriculum. Advanced students regularly participate in "fighting classes." Krav Maga instructors emphasize two paradoxical training rules: (1) there are no rules in a fight and (2) one must not injure oneself or one's partner when training.
