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."
