attackers. Therefore, the goal is to use low kicks to vulnerable areas like feet and shins, a variety of punches, and a huge emphasis on flowing naturally between offense and defense as you disarm your attackers. One of the things that really sets Krav Maga apart is the encouragement to disable your attackers enough to run away. Sure, you should be able to take on half a dozen knifewielding attackers, but there’s no illusion you can outlast them all. Disarm them, get to safety, and regroup with allies. Then you take them down, permanently.

Like they teach in Krav Maga, the goal here is to always get your opponent to the ground. Once you’re down, you’re done. If you’re under attack, getting your opponent down to the ground gives you time to either call for help or formulate your next move from a position of strength.
