Krav Maga & Self-Defence Principles

Krav Maga, and all self-defence for that matter, should be a principle-based approach.  While techniques are certainly important, they can fail under stress; leaving only the raw principles of the style.  Understanding both Krav Maga and general self-defence principles is one of the most important aspects for new and developing students.  Without these guidelines to fall back on the learning process can be more difficult, and defending your self will be even harder if and when a technique fails.

These articles also serve as a study guide for UTKM students.
