IMPACT Phoenix Krav Maga Classes are unique in that every member must pass a basic test before being admitted.  They have to sincerely want to train and improve.  It is not a place that allows ego, puffery and adolescent type posturing.  False pride is the downfall of many who cross the threshold of a Krav Maga or Kickboxing School door.  Ego not only limits one's growth and irritates other members, it inhibits learning and is often dangerous.  That's why the first rule of Krav Maga is to stay safe and go home safe.  It first applies to your training.

"We are not here to fight. We are here to learn how not to fight.  You defeat your own ego, fear, false pretense and illusions.  You earn, through sweat equity, the skills that make you truly powerful - not a counterfeit.  True strength is calm, confident and resonates with a quiet inner-strength that speaks volumes."

IMPACT Phoenix Krav Maga teaches Military Combatives ranging from skills of the Israeli Military to the US Military, Jeet Kune Do, Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.  While many schools today offer sport oriented training, this program has a single focus - to turn you into a smashing machine so that when the time comes, you can take care of business and go home safe.

Kick, punch, knee, elbow, smash, crush, choke, lock, throw.  At IMPACT Krav Maga Combatives, it's not about the techniques as much as getting the job done any way you can.  You'll learn to use improvised weapons - off hand tools from your environment.  Everything from a pen to a flashlight become a potentially deadly weapon or force multiplier.  Your mindset changes and you see opportunity where others only see fear and terror.

When training with this intensity, ego has no place on the mat.  Good safety and professionally lead classes require a good attitude.  If this is the kind of training place you are looking for, you may have found a home at IMPACT Krav Maga Combatives in Phoenix.

IMPACT Krav Maga, Jeet Kune Do, Combatives Concepts in Phoenix AZ


IMPACT KRAV MAGA | Jeet Kune Do | Combatives

Principles and Concepts in IMPACT

Developed for the Israeli Defense Forces for anti-terrorism and security for Special Police (SWAT), this combatives system has no rules.  Krav Maga, meaning "Contact Combat", is not practiced for sport and emphasizes explosive attacks to an assailants vulnerable targets.  Using any available off hand objects as weaponry, Krav Maga teaches to go from defending to attacking as quickly as possible - even pre-emptively.  

PFS Jeet Kune Do is the life's work of legendary trainer of NAVY SEAL's, DEA and others, Paul Vunak.  Paul Vunak is the protege of Dan Inosanto, the recognized developer and teacher of Bruce Lee's methods.  Paul Vunak's specialty is the practical application of rapid assault tactics and how to teach an individual to be street lethal in the shortest time possible.

The framework of the new IMPACT Krav Maga and Jeet Kune do system emphasizes a simplified system for dealing with dangerous threats.

1. Identify the primary danger
2. Attack vital points in a manner that thwarts follow up attacks
3. Neutralize the threat in the most efficient manner possible
4. Evacuate to safety as quickly as possible.

This is accomplished through the maxims:
Stay safe - neutralize all threats
Simultaneous attack & defense | Intercept | use superiority & pressure
Take advantage of natural body reactions
Improvisation
Simplicity - reduce exposure time and endeavor to make techniques efficient 
No rules - cheat to win

Peace first
Early detection - honor intuition
Intercept early through pre-assault cues & warning signs
Knowledge of how criminals operate
Study other systems to better understand attacks
Reverse engineering real life attacks and breaking them down into teachable drills
"Aliveness" - force adaptation in training to keep it more realistic for problem solving
Entire body and environment as weapon
Train all ranges with equal respect
Test it under pressure for efficacy  
Develop indomitable spirit

Strength is a skill
Train as you fight

Happy Sunday John,
As a student I thought this was worth sharing.
I accepted an invite from a friend to attend a special Kickboxing event at her school. It was nearly 3 hours long. Kept quiet, smiled and worked hard. During the workout I received compliments from 2 different coaches.
One coach said " You should be teaching this class"
. Another asked, " Where do you train ? " I told him I did kickboxing at USA Martial Arts. He asked if I did Muay Thai or any other form of Martial Arts?
It was humbling to receive such a compliment. I immediately thought all of this is a reflection of one great and respectable teacher/mentor/friend. So "Thank you"
See you soon.
Sincerely,
Mj

What is Krav Maga?


Kravmaga.jpg



Krav Maga is the official system of hand-to-hand combat and self-defense employed by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Literally translated as "contact combat" or "close combat", Krav Maga is an eclectic hand-to-hand combat system developed in Israel which involves wrestling, grappling and striking techniques. It was derived from street-fighting skills scientifically developed by Imi Lichtenfeld.

I am a proud practitioner of Krav Maga and have studied with Darren Lavine, Bas Rutten, Amir Perets, John Whitman, Paul Reavlin (my Revgear friend) and others. My school, USA Martial Arts, even hired Wade Allen (Jennifer Lopez and SWAT trainer) to come to train our staff and students here in Phoenix Arizona.

You can see clear influences of the Krav Maga on my teaching, the USA Martial Arts system as well as our NTS / Nottingham Sword & Shield Security training courses. I can attest to the fact that all Krav Maga is not the same. Darren and his team have my utmost respect and I consider them a valued resource for my own growth and training.

Krav Maga training focuses on teaching simple (not to be confused with easy) techniques which are specifically designed for reality based attack scenarios and specifically developed to produce skilled individuals in a short period of time.

The guiding principles for Krav Maga are:
  • Neutralize the threat 
  • Avoid injury 
  • Go from defending to attacking as quickly as possible 
  • Use the body's natural reflexes 
  • Strike at vulnerable areas 
  • Use any tool or object nearby 
  • No rules 

You'll find these in almost any practical and scientifically tested hand to hand or hand to weapon combat system for close quarters battle. These principles are well ingrained pillars in my NTS training systems as well as what I teach the military and security/law enforcement. (VIPER, RAT, PFS DOM and many other programs.)

In Krav Maga, students will learn to hit any area that is available on an opponent as well as use anything at their disposal within their reach to their advantage. A student of Krav Maga is also taught to deal with the most important or most dangerous threats first and to keep the opponent or attacker from continued attack. Krav Maga teaches the student to utilize the body’s own responses and abilities to move quickly from a defense position to one of attacking or striking.

Is Krav Maga the Best for Me?

That depends. Being physically and mentally prepared to handle confrontation is why hundreds of law enforcement agencies and civilians around the world train in Krav Maga. Based on simple principles and instinctive movements, this reality-based system is designed to teach real self defense in the shortest possible time. You'll learn to defend against common chokes and grabs from all angles, punches and kicks, and weapons such as guns, knives and sticks. Just as important, Krav Maga will teach you to function under the stress, shock and adrenalin rush of a sudden, violent encounter.

Having said that, Krav Maga is extremely physically demanding and carries risks people should consider. Numerous clients reporting to me that they were injured or simply couldn't keep pace or recover with their demanding profession, lifestyle or physical abilities. Krav Maga takes an intense level of commitment to practice because it is designed as a short term, quick learn immersion training system for young, fit, full-time military personnel. I love, practice and teach elements of Krav Maga but that isn't what I offer the public at my martial arts school. I draw on elements of Krav Maga and other sources to tailor training to my individual students needs.

Why Krav Maga? 

Frankly, KM isn't for everyone and has a chronically high drop out rate, even with the best instruction and optimistic intentions. It favors young, athletic and aggressive individuals with durable bodies and an intense work ethic. Yanking peoples feet out from under them and going full contact comes with a higher risk than many of my clients are prepared to take (while I love this personally and would use it to train certain military or SWAT personnel.). Put simply, it is difficult to maintain it as a lifestyle or ongoing lifestyle fitness program for most of us. Despite how it has been marketed by some, it is not a martial art in the classical sense, it is a military combatives system.

The key to Krav Maga, as with any instruction in my view, isn't the system as much as it is the instructor. A skilled teacher can adapt the principles and concepts to the practitioner and their individual needs. This is especially important if the individual is law enforcement, security or a profession with a clearly defined mission and use of force liability concerns. Krav Maga get's my highest recommendation for military, a cautionary recommendation for law enforcement and a strong caution for civilians. As with most things, I've seen it taught well and I've seen it taught horribly. The bottom line is finding the best instructor for your goals, mission and one who can bring out your best.

  • Attacks with knives and edged weapons
  • Assaults with clubs, sticks and bats
  • Grabs, holds and pins
  • Punches and various kicks
KRAV MAGA Drills & Concepts
Krav Maga drills were developed by the Israeli Defense Forces for military response to counter-terrorism.  They emphasize developing fighting spirit and a non-quitting attitude.   Krav Maga, meaning "contact combat", is one of the most respected programs for training SWAT forces and the preferred civilian self defense option.

JKD Progressive Street Fighting Drills & Concepts
Jeet Kune Do concepts were synthesized by Bruce Lee and Dan Inosanto.  The "aliveness", or freedom of variant application, and emphasis of functionality of the drills, make them uniquely efficient in developing individuals quickly for street self defense.  It was an early system of mixing martial arts, but not to be mistaken for today's sportive MMA, this was mixed martial arts for the street.

JKD was further refined for street by Paul Vunak (PFS JKD).  His methods were adopted for training by NAVY SEALS as part of their Special Warfare Hand To Hand and Hand to Weapons training.  The training includes all four ranges of combat:
  • Kicking
  • Punching
  • Clinching
  • Grappling
The Unfair Advantage
Perhaps more important is the emphasis of moving seamlessly and rapidly through those ranges to gain an unfair advantage on an attacker.  Jeet Kune Do does not hesitate to teach eye gouging, biting, and use of weapons or off-hand tools.  Today the JeetKuneDo integrates Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Filipino Martial Arts, Kickboxing and continues to evolve.

Men in today's society, no matter what their occupation, will gain confidence in dealing with day to day situations.

Krav Maga & Kickboxing for Women
Women who appear to be distracted, unaware or worse shrinks in on herself in public may appear easy prey for muggers and abusers. Therefore, women need to be aware that their body language speaks volumes about their mentality. By walking with a firm step, standing tall and being unafraid to look someone in the eye takes mental strength to be believable. As a self defense and personal protection instructor, I often tell students, "The first step to avoid becoming a victim is by not acting like one." Yet, no matter how vulnerable a woman may feel she still has the right to set boundaries and defend herself. To embrace that empowerment, a women needs training. Training can include basic self-defense seminars, practical martial arts, or even combat training.  Ask about our HIT LIKE A GIRL bodyguard strategies - home, work and group seminars.  From personal security talks, interactive events to hands on training, we've got you covered.
