Evil and Insidious Krav Maga!

[Interloper]

Iran is totally worried about the spread of the Israeli martial art for apparent world domination.

Sounds a bit like this:

Probably a No News day! There is a (was-not sure if still around) video and writeup about some Iranian females who train in ninjitsu as a way to protect the nation against infidels of some kind!

A guy in my jj class had a funny story about Krav today - he did it for 6 months until they got to the point where the instructor (in Britain) brought in a machine gun so they could practice disarms. At that point he just thought "wtf?" and left. "If I'm fighting a guy with a machine gun, then he can just have my wallet!"

[Doc Stier]

Yeah, even if you're skilled enough to dodge bullets 99% of the time, the remaining 1% is a real killer for sure!

[wiesiek]

to make things worse,
proportions are reversed, for most of us
anyway
dissarming classicaly armed in AK47 Palestinian fighter, sounds like "must have", basic skilz in the area where Krav was born ...

Oh, vey!

Sounds like pretty credible analysis in the Iranian vernacular - they are on to a big story here! And I am sure the Jerusalem Post has reported it all perfectly accurately, in a balanced manner.

Must do a piece myself on this interesting development.

Will pitch the following:
Crazed Zionist Martial Cultists Hatch Terror Plot Against Muslims In World's 'Gay Capital'
Krav Maga-ists To Kidnap Believers, Forcibly Circumcise Them With Commando Daggers, Teheranian Pub-goer Claims

That should grab editors' attention, no?

Loved the KM story about self-defense against a machine gun. (Where on earth in the UK did the chap find an MG? Or was it a plastic version?).

Presumably, for the KM black belt test, you have to:
Dodge automatic gunfire
Save a plane from murderous jihadi hijackers
And finally punch through the armour of an advancing Tiger tank - stalling it and concussing the crew.

they dont have much to worry about. krav maga people have horrible striking. Krav maga former students who come in to the MMA school's Muay Thai class need to have their striking and kicking mechanics totally re-constructed and corrected. whatever they are teaching at those places is incorrect and wrong. They are McDojo in nature, mass producing people who are gonna get seriously hurt.

Don't forget Andy to add a piece on ToiletBowlStumpSex in there somewhere, it sounds very applicable to this scenario

And I just want to take this opportunity to congratulate you Andy on your recent piece involving Dan Harden, Ninja's, Skewers, Excrament and Toilets. You have a very unique imagination. My only request is that next time you get one of these 'mind benders' please think about doing a comic book sketch, if possible

That says it all right there.

It seems that Krav Maga is the Crossfit of the martial arts world.

I'll see if I can find it, Sounds like worthwhile no-news day coverage.

[zenshiite]

The Iranian women training ninjitsu was misrepresented in Western media. They train as a hobby, not to be a cadre of Iranian kunoichi to be used against foreign enemies.

Andy, Muslims are circumcised. Our religion is also Abrahamic.
