    To all the critics, trolls and keyboard warriors, lets get a few things straight;
    Firstly- This is a TEST, an exam, an assessment of skills that is part of the learning process in our organisation.

    Every student and instructor must undergo these types of tests in order to show that they have the necessary level of knowledge, and that they can apply this demonstration of skill under pressure and for a long period of time. Despite the length of the video, the exam lasted for over 2.5h and did not include any breaks.
    It is meant to show the level of commitment, control and mindset even under extreme pressure and when the fighter is absolutely exhausted.
    I quote words of former UFC heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, who attended KMUR gym for the 2nd Dan test of my training partner: “it is the most intense test I have come across in any style of martial arts”.
    Secondly - this is not a brawl, a street fight nor is it a competition.
    You are not required to break your partner’s arm, leg or face in order to pass to the next rank - so I am sorry if you were disappointed not to have seen more blood or carnage in this video.
    Third - Was my performance perfect? No…. In fact, at the time, I wasn’t pleased with it.
    I thought I would perform a lot better, however in life things don’t go as expected - I lost control occasionally, got nervous, was caught up in my partners legs, and had to adapt constantly to the changing environment.
    After the exam I was handed a list of things that I needed to amend and to focus on, and believe me that I have done my best to amend it (especially prior to my 3rd Dan test which was very similar in content).
    I uploaded this video for my own personal accountability, to show to my personal students that (a) their instructor is doing exactly what he is requiring from them and that (b) things aren’t always perfect.
    Again, it is all part of the learning curve, and it is a vital part of our orginisation’s way of operation. We don’t just hand out a rank because of a length of time or period of attendance - we assess every student and instructor individually and ensure that they get the guidance and relevant pointers they need in order to progress to the next level.
    Lastly - I have zero desire to live up to any of your personal expectations.
    If you believe this is easy, or it’s all bullshit or that you are/can do better, then good for you!
    Please send me your home address and I will happily send you 2 stickers in the post; one that says “champ” and the other saying “expert”.
    I have earned my stripes on and off of the mats - I’ve been an officer in a IDF combat unit for 5 years, provided close protection to A’ list celebrities, ministers and oligarchs, have had several fights, in and out of the ring and I enjoy teaching the true art of KM all around the world.
    You’re entitled to your personal opinion, however don’t ever think you are better than anyone else. You want to criticise people’s hard work while sitting behind your little screen - it says a lot more about you than it does on the other individual, you come across as arrogant and ignorant.
    How about trying to help others by trying to show them/guide them to do better? That might actually require some skill, effort and hard work.

      I would just work in your practice if you can doing the strikes/holds from the standing positions without telegraphing the move and using your peripherals. This is some thing Bruce Lee worked a lot on. To stay completely relaxed and then explode into the technique without any warning or premeditated movements and not looking directly at what going for. It takes a lot of practice but can be done. Especially when simulating weapons disarms when they have vision on you. I would also recommend practicing the same techniques but moving backwards. This will make you more agile with footwork and will be more realistic to pull off since the opponent/weapon holder is coming towards you. Can use momentum against them. Also it’s good to show some sense of panic/fear so in reality the adversary isn’t expecting an attack since you look scared. I’m not sure the exact curriculum within style, but it’s always good to study other arts like kali,escrima,Silat as well. On top of studying other arts to apply to the basic sparring grappling. But end of the day we need to practice to what is going to be used in a real life confrontation, or it’s simply just a hobby and hopefully their will be carryover to real life. Which is funny because no one will criticize bjj, but the martial art is sooo watered down it’s basically tournament grappling ppl are training for. The problem is ppl think it’s self defense, and obviously their will be carryover but more specific to real life the better. And bjj is not very specific to real life situations. Keep up the good work always room for improvement

      In the spirit of helping people to do better, one has to question any test where the opposition just stands there waiting for someone to execute their technique and then continues to act comatose once it's been done, particularly if is this a black-belt-level test.
      This is most pointedly true in techniques where you are contesting control of a gun or any other weapon. A person who is willing to hold a gun on you is letting on, in no uncertain terms, that they are willing to kill you, full stop, and you can assume no less. If you are willing to contest them for control of that weapon, they HAVE to believe that you will use it on them in return, if only because THEY can assume no less just because you somehow might be "a nice guy". This means that, in a real situation, the person being disarmed should be, and is, fighting for their life every bit as much as you are. As slick as some of the techniques are, you see none of that; you see, instead, people standing around holding guns until they have them taken away. The opponents aren't even reacting to the techniques, much less opposing them. In the knife disarms, the only reaction of the opponent once engaged is focused on not getting unintentionally hit in the face and control of the knife itself is simply conceded.
      The most realistic part of the test was the free-sparing "randori" against two opponents with knives which, factually enough, would have ended up with the defender, energetic as he was, dead several times over - nothing against the skills of the defender, it's just a losing scenario, even with opponents attacking in mad rushes, but only at 3/4 speed.
      And, indeed, let's get a few things straight - sorry to burst your defensive little bubble, but pointing these things out only amounts to rational criticism, no matter what you choose to think it somehow means about me as an individual.

      @@aliasalias9768 I like KM but realize it does not make you an expert in boxing or kicking or grabbling or kali but it does make you better than average. It is self-defense not cage fighting and the goal is far different. That being said I do believe bjj would be a good match with KM.
      A school near me teaches KM - BJJ - Kickboxing - and wrestling. It is schedules where you take KM two nights a week and BJJ two to four. Also kickboxing two to four nights a week.
      But for most people taking KM just for self -defense that is to much time in the gym. Most KM students will not want to go 5 or 6 days a week.
      But if you did then you'd be one bad ass after a few years.
      But really, just how much training in KM do you need to get you free from an attacker and run away.? The goal is to not stay in fight but to get away. If you were just a brown belt in KM you could defend yourself in most cases.
      There are cases where you could have black belts in several arts and still lose. SO what is practical ?

      @@optimizedpran1247 I am no expert in KM or Judo. However I know that both use this type of display of knowledge of moves before getting a belt. They must show that the person seeking a higher belt knows the moved. I don't see this as a problem as it is just designed to show he knows what he was taught and can execute the moves.
      You can see the same thing happening with judo and BJJ to prove they know taught skills.
      To me these test means nothing as far as being able to defend yourself as I believe most of these moves or useless anyway. But that is true with Judo and some of the moves in BJJ as well.
      But as a last resort to save your life or the life of a love one you might try one of these moves. Assuming there is no other option. But you'd probably get shot trying to sneak up on the guy holding the gun. I would guess if things were that bad you'd of accepted that likelihood you'd be killed before starting the attack.
      They must to have a way of showing the guy learned the moves required for a belt so I find it ok but not something I'd be interested in doing. I'd prefer to spend more time on things I be more likely to use to defend myself. I mean it is ok but there is a very low percentage that you'd every use these skills.
      The only good thing is they wait until after you have learned the basics before teaching you these skills with a low percentage for actually being used in real life.
      But again ok I guess it is good someone knows the moves. I guess by the time you get to 2nd degree black bet you have learned the basics and now just showing off.

      @VLADIMIR PUTIN I’m all for Krav Maga that’s been my favorite plan from the beginning, basically all of what it teaches other arts don’t teach you at all like pressure testing, dirty blows when needed, tactics, survival mindset, weapons fighting handling and disarms fighting multiple opponents and more I think it’s unique and extremely useful but I act like the Devi’s advocate to either get agreed with and prove my plan to be wrong or disagreed with proving me right. I’ve done this before and a lot of fighting people disapprove this because it’s not a popular concept but it makes complete sense They say the same 2 things which are that 1 it’s hard to find the right school because a lot of people are teaching Krav Maga from a like a 1 week course so it’s very watered down and that’s a case of the instructors and not the actual style so finding the right school is essential and 2 is that you won’t be proficient with the arts in it because it’s not practiced enough and what is the foundation of Krav Maga? It’s mma it’s mma it has bjj wrestling judo aikido Muay Thai boxing karate wing chun and more so I planned on taking mma on the side at least half to reinforce the foundation of Krav Maga and just for practice while I inherit all the mindset and and concepts of Krav Maga in the mma I take to reinforce Krav Maga. I know it’s not a popular belief but Krav Maga with some mma just seems like the way to go, while the popular way that everyone says to do is either just mma or Muay Thai and bjj but both are in Krav Maga and mma if chosen to take on the side and way more and Krav Maga teaches essential and useful teachings so my fixes to there concerns are find the right school, a reputable instructor and 2 do a little mma on the side to make you a better fighter and reinforce the foundation of Krav Maga

KM was combing only the best of other arts for years to give a realistic fighting system that is easy to learn by the average guy not interested in becoming a professional. Hell he even found a few arm locks from aikido to use in the system that are effective and now taught to must law enforcement.
      A local gym here offers KM two days a week night and 3 days in the morning. It is done that way to encourage people to take BJJ and kickboxing other evenings.
      But of course one also has to look at the business side for a gym or school too. They want to get you deeper involved and deeper. As a general rule those that take KM are more likely to learn Basic self defense skills and move on to something else.
