The main difference between Krav Maga and other martial arts is simply that it works.More specifically, from the most efficient and practical techniques that are easy to learn to the way we train, there is currently no better system for practical self-defense.
Let's talk about how we train. Assuming you have done traditional martial arts for 10 years and practiced every technique a thousand times and are near perfect at everything, but that all you have trained is repetition, then what research shows is that when a situation comes up you will not be prepared. At least, not as prepared as you would think. When adrenaline (Epinephrine) is dumped into the body it is a completely different feeling than what you have practiced for so long. What will actually happen is that you will freeze, instead of fight.
Krav Maga takes away the "this would work in theory with a compliant partner" and has designed realistic techniques that just simply work. Add that in with different stress drills, endurance drills, awareness drills etc... (example: eyes are closed and an attacker can attack with any choke from any angle -> much better test of the technique than doing it dry in the mirror) and what you have is the absolute best self-defense system in the world.
We can get you trained from knowing absolutely nothing to a confident, knowledgeable and powerful individual. I learned more about self-defense and fighting in general in 3 months of Krav Maga than I did in 10 years of Tae Kwon Do.
