[QUOTE="Oklahoma Combatives, post: 2366395, member: 32566"] Hello everyone. I apologize for making my first post here an advertisement but someone I know sent me the link to this thread and suggested I reply. I'm with Oklahoma Combatives ([URL="http://www.oklahomacombatives.com"]www.oklahomacombatives.com[/URL]) and we are an ICCS KRAV MAGA group. Almost ALL Krav Maga in the States resembles a basic martial arts class combined with a fitness class. People go in and hit pads..do pushups and think they are on the same level as an Israeli Soldier. Wrong.. you've just had a good workout.. that's all. Krav Maga is NOT martial arts.. It's combatives. This is where many instructors make a mistake. They think because they've taught martial arts they can simply watch DVDs or take a course on Krav Maga and add that to their list of skills. The problem with that is once again, it's not a martial art. When you get someone who has a strong martial arts background teaching Krav Maga, it's usually a difficult transition because the Krav Maga (which is already watered down) now has strong martial arts influence. The organization we are with (ICCS) are not gym owners wheeling and dealing monthly gym memberships. They travel the world training military (special forces), law enforcement and political security. Myself and the other instructor at Oklahoma Combatives train under Chief Head Instructor Sharir Richman (Israel) and US Director Tony Harwood (now in the States). We just finished a 5 day seminar in Butler, OK and it looks like they will be back in May due to several requests for another seminar. Our students lose weight, become fit and stronger but not because that's our focus. That is simply a by product of our training. We train in combatives. Anyway, I apologize if I hijacked the conversation.. I also apologize for the length of the post..but there is so much that can be said for real Krav Maga combatives and the current state of Americanized Krav Maga. If anyone is interested we are putting on a FREE Intro to ICCS Krav Maga clinic February 1st, 2014 in NW OKC. It's completely free but registration is required to reserve your spot. They tend to fill up pretty quick when we do things like this. Here is a link to one of our ICCS videos... ICCS does not put out videos explaining technique because of who they train.. but the videos put out are usually from training sessions and will give you a better idea on the mindset and intensity of ICCS Krav Maga.
