Urban Krav Maga uses gross-motor
skills (big movements) rather than fine motor skills (intricate
movements) so that the body responds together as a complete unit instead
of focussing on minute and exact movements that are unlikely to be
remembered and used successfully when placed under extreme stress.
This along with our realistic training
techniques enables students to assimilate and use the skills they learn
when it really counts.
Student Experiences
1. Jamie Murray, Church of
England Minister.
"A drunken man came into a refuge
we were running. He became extremely aggressive, produced a baton
and started to threaten one of our clients with it.. my colleague
and I tackled him and practically without thinking I took control of
his arm and disarmed him using Krav Maga techniques. We then
released him and he ran out of the building where he was duly
arrested."
2. Paul de Silva, Civil Servant
(Extract from a letter to Stewart
McGill UK Urban Krav Maga director) “ I was on holiday in Spain
..after a few too many beers I walked back to the hotel alone and
was set upon by 6 youths…one ended up on top of me raining punches
on my face – of all the martial arts I have done before it was the
stuff that I learned from a relatively few lessons with you that I
actually used. I covered my face so that I also prevented the back
of my head hitting the ground, I bridged violently, head-butted him
as I went over, got up immediately and ran. The youths were so
surprised and shocked at the fate of their friend that they didn’t
even pursue me.”
3. Howard, Businessman.
“I was working late at night when
somebody tried to force their way into the office. I confronted him-
he shaped up to throw a big right-hander; I stepped into him to take
away his range with my left elbow raised high and hit him in the
face with the heel of my right hand. He stepped back stumbling
badly, I gave him a roundhouse kick hitting the side of his leg with
my shin. I must say, even with the adrenaline pumping it amazed me
how he went down like a sack of spuds”
4. Jasper, Student.
"Four youths stopped me in the
street and wanted my mobile. I moved to the edge of the pavement,
took the kid on the outside and pushed the heel of my hand onto the
tip of his nose. His head went back arching his back at the same
time. I pushed down, stepped into him and the back of his head hit
the ground very hard. I ran, his friends chased me for a few seconds
but their heart wasn’t in it and I got back home buzzing."
