Simultaneous Defense & Attack + Retzev Vs. Weapons (Green & All Belt Levels)
By design, krav maga weapons defenses are specific, and, yet, adaptable to handle the fluidity and unpredictability of combat. In other words, general principals are applied and customized to suit the needs of a particular situation. Each defense combines deflection-redirections, evasive actions, and simultaneous or near-simultaneous counter-attacks with extreme prejudice to dominate the opponent. The defenses are also designed for multiple attacker situations to shield the defender, incapacitate the attacker, and immediately confiscate the weapon for the defender’s use.
In short, you’ll attack the attacker. Importantly, the tactics and techniques are designed to provide the defender with a preemption capability prior to a weapon being deployed. The goal is not to allow an assailant to get the drop on you. Your recognition of his intent and body language literally and figuratively will allow you to cut the legs out from under him.
