Well, I study in the national defense university, so they OFFICALLY teach us what they teach to soldiers, but without the finishing moves. But, hey, they shiw those too:)

That's a bit of everything (Jujitsu, judo, krav maga, and who knows what else) they say that judo and jujitsu is good for beginning.

Thanks for this thread and great info!  Smiley Smiley Smiley
I'm a generally fit woman and have practiced tai chi for 10 years but I have a bad back and some hand/wrist arthritis that makes me feel more vulnerable in the world. I'm going to look into Krav Maga--the knee/elbow and real situation approach looks like it might be a good fit for me.

Krav Maga is SAID to be good, but my instructors said it lacks the basics, it tries to teach you advanced techniques at the beginning.
