Answer 4

Combat Hapkido is a really good art.  I think to "beat it" depends on the individual and experience.  Anyway Combat Hapkido is all about economy of movement which I believe Krav Maga is also.

Answer 5

Krav isn't really suited for a one on one battle against a skilled practioner, that is kind of not it's point.

Most highly skilled Martial Artist who train realistically, can deal with most Krav people. Krav is about surprise, turning the initiative in your favor, reading and reacting to a situation, and overwhelming a would be attacker with devastating force.

It isn't about a toe to toe match up against a skilled fighter. Most Kravist do have a background in other arts, but aside from that in a straight up style match, it really depends on how you are training.

If someone is taking "Cardio Krav" at their gym, hitting some pads, and bags, and not sparring, and they go up against, well pretty much anyone who is training in full intensity, full contact sort of sparring on a regular basis. The Kravist is going to lose, in fact a Kravist studying under the above method would lose in pretty much any scenario.

Now if the Kravist is training under high intensity, doing drills and sparring with fully resisting opponents, and they encounter a point sparring light contact, TKD McDojoist, then the Kravist is going to own them.

In a head to head battle with two people training the right way, but different styles, it comes down to the individual and their own abilities.

But there is no style that specifically counters Krav, and Krav doesn't specifically counter any style. Additionally Krav is not developed to get into ego driven fights or challenge matches. It's just a straight forward intiutive style that can help people turn the tides on would be attackers, and survive tough situations... SURVIVE.. not "leave a trail of bodies behind" but neutralize and escape.

Answer 10

A kick is a kick and a punch is a punch, and there is nothing new under the sun.

The art is less important than the training.

To paraphrase Miyamoto Mushashi: "He who is from the most extreme school wins."   In context it means those who push the envelope and train the hardest are the best prepared to fight.  So I'm sure if you went to a boxing gym and trained hard like an athlete for 6 months you could beat the c**p out of a guy at the local strip mall doing "moves" on a cooperative partner for two or three hours a week.

If you don't see puke buckets, first aid kits, and maybe some old blood on a mat or the canvas somewhere walk out and find someplace that does have these things, because no training is taking place , merely the illusion of training.
