Krav Maga, or why this would never be an official sport


Krav Maga, the israeli combat system, is simply too brutal, too fast and too effiecient to be pronounceed a sport. Indeed, there are tournaments, but their are either a "mixed" combat systems fight tournament, or are local and very unofficial (and often illigal) But what makes it so dangerous? It is simply the techniques. the idea behaid Krav Maga. The sport was originally established to protect the jews from the nazi attacks. The founder of Krav Mage, then fled to the region of nowadays Israel, back then all known as Palestine. Later his followers (and himself) established the basis of the Israeli Army. So the this combat system is not suitable for the ring, it is suitable for war. Nearlly 100% of the combos and the advanced techniques are designed to bring either constant death or permenat damages, and even to disable the opponent for a long time. That is why a proffesional using the the Krav Maga's technieques would most likely kill you before you have the time to give up, or before the referee has time to stop the game. Thus, the sports introduces many strikes that are designed for using or protecting for things like pistols, riffles, knifes, police bats, and torpfas. The combat system has been absorbed by many special police forces such as S.W.A.T; Spetznaz, S.A.S and many others. That is why this can never be a good sport. But it cam be a good weapon.
