DEADLY KRAV MAGA MOVES
Here are some of the deadliest Krav Maga moves that can inflict serious pain to your opponent.
1.) Knee Strikes A knee strike can obviously deliver a shattering force to your opponent's face, torso or groin.
In Krav Magra, you will be taught to strike from a distance one or more times before closing the distance to deploy knee strikes.
If you are fighting a group of people, using one of them as a distance tool and delivering knee strikes is a great way to take down your assailants one by one. The striking area is the knee itself and not the thigh.
The reason behind this is that the smaller striking area offers more penetration than a larger area such as the thigh.
Also, the knee is a much harder striking surface. By pulling your target towards you, you are delivering greater power when you strike them with your knee.
If it's not possible to grab someone around the neck, you have to put your elbows together so that your attacker won't have the ability to slide their head out.
Another option is to grab the shoulder of the person and deliver the knee strike.
2.) Single Leg Takedown If your opponent grabs you and your head is down; the single leg takedown is a great technique to employ.
Drop your level at your knees without dropping your head and then pick up your target's leg.
This will surely catch your attacker off guard. Put your attacker's knee in between your knees and lock it down with your arms.
Reach through with your right arm to block the other knee, step behind the other person and drop them to the floor.
The key to this technique is making sure that the knee is pinched in between your thighs. You don't want to lose your opponent's knee, or you will lose the fight
3.) Hammer Fist Strikes Your arm is supposed to be the handle of the hammer and your fist is the head. In this technique, the point of contact is the muscular/meaty part of your fist instead of the skeletal part (knuckles).
If you are standing next to your target, you can reach over and break their nose using the bottom of your fist.
If you want a more deadly move, you can reach over and smash their throat instead.
The clavicle breaks easier and it incapacitates anyone from initiating another punch.
You can also throw an uppercut and target the wind pipe instead. Don’t be timid.
This is about surviving!
