Krav Maga

Hmm. That doesn't seem a very good goal for a self defense scenario. Where you're up against a pissed up accountant who swings at you cos you spilled his drink, rather than a hezbollah insurgent I mean.

Going bare handed against guns sounds handy, however I'm not sure how relevant the training against swords might be. Did the idf cover that as part of your basic training on do only the SF do defence against swords? Did they spend a lot of time on that?

The training is against opponents with all kinds of items raging from knives to swords and broken bottles, guns or whatever.
But as I said in real combat the hand to hand is never used. The fighting ensues only when you have no bullets left to use. And the one who has no bullets left is either dead or surrender.

As for pissed off accountant I simply tell him to calm down and he will sense my domination and shut up. I don't have to fight.
