Background
Israeli self defence system, made up of different techniques
from Wing Chun, Judo, Wrestling, Muay Thai, boxing and grabbling. It was
founded by Imi Licfhtenfeld between the 1930 and 40. The main concept of this
self defence system or Martial art is the neutralization of the opponent and
the application of simultaneous offensive and defensive techniques.
Comparing to what we do
Commonalities: As Krav maga, Sprit combat is a mixed martial
arts system, making use of hitting techniques with different parts of the body,
garbling, throwing, locking and ground work.
Differences: We tend to focus a bit more on the artistic
side through the application of traditional martial arts such as Aikido, Jiu Jiutsu
and Kung Fu. This also influencing our use of weapons both on a self defence
level and on an artistic level.
Reflection: Independent from the art, being a modern or traditional self
defence system, it is the ability to preserve once life and the once you love
that should be the important factor. This can only be achieved by having the
right attitude, independent from what it is going on around you.
I would like to know your views on this, are their more
common things or differences that I have missed out?
