Amanuut Krav Maga uses a simple and realistic approach to learning and self defense.
Through constant practice and repetition and pressure testing, the most effective defenses
against each kind of assault become almost second nature and automatic, so that in actual
“street” self defense confrontation will be immediately used.
Amanuut Krav Maga is big on body language recognition. All pre-fights have some sort of give
away signs with the attackers body language. AKM utilises this fact to gain an advantage over
an attacker. This is not done through "magic" or mystical rubbish. But through the simple act of
body language recognition.
Teaches Awareness through body language recognition
Students of Amanuut Krav Maga use basic moves in various combinations to fend off violent
attacks. This means that students must recognize a fight before it happens, an important and
unique feature of this style. All quality Police agencies train their police officer to recognize
threats by watching for tell tales signs. AKM is no different, we teach civilians as well as law
enforcement the same techniques on how to recognize.
Of course, this requires using the common sense as well as the physical and psychological
actions, and thus Amanuut Krav Maga addresses the thought process as well as the physical
action.
Amanuut Krav Maga is a thinking persons system
Not everyone can do high kicks and action movie style moves, the system is geared towards
the law enforcement and civilians. AKM students are taught a variety of possible defensive
reactions for each possible attack situation, building upon an actual foundation of use able
techniques.
By learning basics of combat psychology and body language, the student gets a confidence in
reading situations.
Physical Fitness
Because physical fitness is part of the system, the workout includes a number of cardiovascular
and strength building exercises/programs, as well as stretching to increase flexibility. Emphasis
is put on speed, endurance, strength, accuracy and coordination, especially for intensive
Amanuut Krav Maga training for security professionals.
Amanuut Krav Maga is unique in a sense because it uses psychology to recognize aggressive
patterns and behaviors resulting in recognition of danger. Animals use body language to
recognize danger.
