just to clear …
just to clear something up for a sec when i said its not essential i meant at 150 ft. at very close range then yeah its what krav maga is for
hand guns aren’t …
hand guns aren’t very good at 50 m (150 ft for us USA guys). Yes its a gun and hand to hand is not essential but i wouldn’t whip a pistol out for a guy at 150 ft. thats a pretty difficult shot to hit.
@Anizer84 – I THINK …
@Anizer84 – I THINK the basing out technique is to also force the attackers butt out making him have less power to lift you because he could only really use his back… I THInK that’s what it is any ways
@Anizer84 I would …
@Anizer84 I would have to agree a strong man and a small women in this situation is crazy. I think I would prefer the foot hook to keep free being taken over by hooking a foot behind the attackers leg to “hook it” like Sakuraba did to Royce Gracie.
@flamepeace …
@flamepeace Hopefully if the guy has a gun from 50M away you wouldn’t be thinking H2H
me with a GUN at 50 …
me with a GUN at 50 m of you..kill you
so..where are the krav maga now ???
For the “basing out …
For the “basing out” maneuver, how does simply getting into the stance stop the attacker from lifting you? I can see how it would work for a guy but not for a girl. I’m a 6’2″ 230 pound male and basing out would make it very difficult to lift me, but most of the woman I know are no where near that. I have lifted them off their feet many times in bear hugs. Is the “basing out” simply to set up for the elbow hits whether or not the attacker lifts you?
Helpful and easy …
Helpful and easy steps. Thanks guys.
@rinkmeifucan I …
@rinkmeifucan I refuse to look to merely ignore this behavior this is what a bully or criminal counts on people sheepishly walking away because they don’t have the fortitude. When I see these things, As you can read by his latest post I am now a sub-human bitch, I will continue to post rebuttals and verbal jabs until he stops.
@rinkmeifucan Well …
@rinkmeifucan Well this has become a personal mission calling me a F$#@tard and a LARP?? and everything else over my opinion has made it so. If he is a child which I am concerned with then he will learn that he is accountable for his actions to others. I apologize to anyone who reads this thread on this video I think KM is an outstanding system. Read his posts and understand I have the mental stamina to debate this person and will do so.
@kommisar Man you …
@kommisar Man you are really reaching kid for something that makes you feel elite.
Typing errors doesn’t make you right in anyway, Now I am butchering the language. Well this isn’t a graded dissertation and I am not in school sitting in English literature class.
“don’t comment on …
“don’t comment on youtube videos. you just look like a moron among idiots”
i think this kommisar guy was bullied a lot in his high school days. that explains a lot.
@Richdanahuff let this guy be, not worth the fight
“You want to me a …
“You want to me a video so your armchair quarterback a%% can sit and type like the keyboard warrior you are, about how it does not work???”
This example of butchering of the English language is the perfect illustration of how just far deranged, uneducated and deluded a sub-human you are. How the do you expect anyone to understand this gibberish? Grow up, go back to school and get an education, you bozo. In the meantime, I’ll take that video of you “training” your “war” skills.
He hasn’t “put his …
He hasn’t “put his life on the line”, you fool. He has threatened to “kick my ass” several times. Is that what you look up to in a soldier, a violent bully? Typical glory-seeking, belligerent, high school jock douchebaggery. Grow the up, you loser. I have met several soldiers through my training and not once have I ever disrespected their profession. This cunt, Rich, is merely a fraud. You are indeed very gullible to believe his story so willingly. Sucks to be you.
@JarJarAssault …
@JarJarAssault Thanks man, well maybe one day the need to serve will bite him one day he is right not to join if he is not dedicated to the idea. Being a public servant and serving my country a country of whom I believe in its founding principles is the honor of a lifetime. Being in service to people of this country still awes me.

@Richdanahuff
You …
@Richdanahuff
You are a soldier man? You have my greatest respect. I think Kommisar should learn some. You put your life on the line in the name of freedom and peace and he sits their disrespecting you? I actually find that offensive. If it wasnt for people like yourself the world would be turned into shit. I would like to see him stare death in the face as a day job.
maybe another groin …
maybe another groin kick. lol.
@kommisar You want …
@kommisar You want to me a video so your armchair quarterback a%% can sit and type like the keyboard warrior you are, about how it does not work??? You have proven KM does not post a video I have to see what you call a real fight. Not 2 MMA guys fighting under sport rules a REAL fight. If you have seen this stuff NOT work then you must troll the streets to find an encounter that you can film. Noone is bragging I am offering you a chance to get slapped around by a guy who probably can.
I wonder if he’s …
I wonder if he’s related to Kermit the frog….
I am not the one …
I am not the one bragging about myself. It is up to you and the rest of the lunatic KM retards to prove their bullshit works. I can tell you for a fact this in the video doesn’t work. We have seen people get caught in bear hugs and chokes in real fights and none of this crap is effective. Based your comments, it’s quite evident you are far from anything of a fighter. You are a LARPing, pontificating loser, plain and simple. It comes as no surprise you refuse to prove your credentials.
@vcmonkey I would …
@vcmonkey I would like to Rickson fight Gokor and pick on someone that stands a chance and is even better than him.
I’d like to see …
I’d like to see this guy fight Rickson Gracie… and get killed
@kommisar Whern I …
@kommisar Whern I can slap you around we can post it.
You are the one who has attacked this video and the KM program I have defended it where is your video come to think of it showing us the Kommisar “I watched WWF but now am fixated on UFC”"I thought Kimbo was fighting real fights on youtube”approved method.?
Where’s your video?
Where’s your video?
@kommisar Now …
@kommisar Now you’re digging for things to be right about you want to do the semantics thing. You are not smart or experienced enough in any area for me.
I know what you are doing is selecting things out of context as if I don’t remember or cannot read the context it was written in. Yes I see and no you will never be right until you are educated you just really really want to be right.LOLOLOL
