Can you tell me self-defence system which is very close to krav maga?
Well Krav Maga is a combination of many martial arts like Jiujitsu, Muy Thai, and Kickboxing. It seems that Muy Thai is pretty similar. MMA would be like the sport version of krav Maga. They are both a combination of several martial arts, both are modern, and both are proven to be effective, but MMA is a sport and Krav Maga is a combat. Krav Maga is Hebrew for "contact combat" Krav Maga is deadly and will teach how to defend yourself on the streets. So you can say that MMA is like Krav Maga, but just a little less brutal and deadly, and designed for things like UFC or boxing. (any kind of fighting that has rules.) But it will still work great on the streets.

Do us navy seal's use krav maga for hand to hand combat?
The answer is yes. The Navy Seals and other special forces will take many different martial arts, and will combine them to be most effctive on the battlefield. Krav Maga is one of those arts used by the Navy Seals, along with many others, like Sambo, Judo, Ninjutsu, ect. (Krav Maga was actually developed and mainly used today by the Israili army and special forces)
How do you fight using Krav Maga?
Krav Maga is reality-based self-defense. It has no rules, but is based on a fighting system that is very aggressive and counter-attacks immediately as part of many defensive tactics. Even blocking an attack it is done aggressively as an offensive move. There are no rules because Krav Maga is not taught for competitions like many martial arts, but it is designed to get you home safe. The offensive weapons are punches, kicks, elbows, knees but how they are used as part of a defensive tactic is what sets Krav Maga aside from kickboxing, for example. There are also defense against the weapons a bad guy on the street may use like knives, guns and sticks.
What is special about Krav Maga that no other martial art has?
Krav Maga is rather new as a martial art which many claim is more martial than art. It was started by Imi Lichtenfeld in Israel in the 1940's. Krav Maga is a reality based system of self-defense that relies more on gross muscle movements rather than fine motor skills. Since it originated in the Israel Defense Forces it had to work for both men and women and against all types of opponents. It had to be easy to learn and easy to retain the skills because of limited training time. Most martial arts are involved in competition where there are rules and Krav Maga is more oriented for self-defense with no rules. Mottos like Get home safe tell the story. Recently I went to a presentation on active shooters given by a SWAT team lead. He said that if you find yourself in such a situation you have to decide whether to take action or not should the opportunity present itself. He said if you did decide that you had to take action that it must be aggressive, violent and effective. That describes Krav Maga in such a situation. You can get the U.S. history of Krav Maga from Krav Maga Worldwide website.
Why is Krav Maga the best?
Krav Maga has appeal to many because it is based on simple easy to learn and easy to retain skills. It is not geared to competitions because there are no rules. The intent is to get home safe by whatever means necessary. Reaction to a violent attack builds upon ones natural reactions to the threat using gross rather than fine motor skills to fend off the attack and immediately counterattack. As a practitioner of Krav Maga, I think it is the best self-defense system for me. Depending on what you are looking for, it may or may not be the best for you.
How would a MMA Fighter stand up against a krav maga fighter?
It depends on what kind of fight it is. MMA and Krav Maga are similar. They both take many different martial arts and combine them to be more effective. But they also have big differences. MMA teaches you ring fighting. They will teach you how to do well in things like UFC, or fighting tornaments. There are many rules in MMA. For example, you can not repetively kick somebody in the groin in an MMA competition. Krav Maga, on the other hand, is an extreamly brutal and efficient martial art. There are absolutely no rules in Krav Maga. They will teach you to fight until there is no fight leaft, in other words they teach you to fight until your opponet is physically unable to continue, or dead. (whatever is necassary) So, if you are in some sort of tornament, MMA will probably win, because their training revolves around rules. If its a fight on the streets, Krav Maga will destroy MMA, because on the streets, there are no rules and no refferies to tell you when to stop.*Ultimately it depends on who is better at what they do. Lets say we have two people who are about to fight. Person A does MMA, and Person B does Krav Maga, and they are getting into a street fight. Lets say that Person A has praticed MMA for 30 years, and Person B has practiced Krav Maga for only 6 months. In this case MMA would win because he has much more experience. Krav Maga has only 6 months of experience vs 30 years of experience. So it really depends on who has more experience, and who has more motivation to practice and train hard to do good.
You want to learn krav maga but not the light version that's for womens self defense you wanna learn the hard core version that they teach mossad officers any ideas?
Krav maga is not taught 'watered down' by qualified instructors. It is a straight forward art without any fluff.To give you extra insight into your question on wanting to learn "hardcore Krav maga such as taught to Mossad any ideas".Based on my own almost 10 years of Krav Maga training (26 years I am in self defese or full contact martial arts). I trained in a few different versions of Krav maga, became an krav maga instructor. (plus already 4th dan in Mugendo, full contact kick boxing for year, & do muay thai too)I came across a very "hardcore" version of Krav Maga, I was impressed & I certified as instructor in this "version" of "hardcore" Krav Maga, developed by top expert in Israel called Itay Gil (This was 3 years before "Human Weapon" krav maga History Channel feature, which he appeared in). Itay Gil who was head of I.D.F. Krav Maga training, after he did 9 years active service in unit called Yamam, and still training the Duvdevan IDF unit in Krav Maga and I think the IDF version of navy seal (Sayreth 13, I think is name?) they all are trained in "hardcore krav maga".A friend an associate of Itay Gil, who taught me combat shooting, (part of this style of krav maga instructor certification requirement) who severed in Israeli Special Unit Sayreth Duvdevan maybe 10+ years back, told me the Krav Maga traning was very "hardcore" & daily 2 - hours for 4 - 6 months, then training was montly "top up". Broken noses, KOs, injuries etc. The IDF Krav Maga Instructor who trained him was a son of famous Israel Martial Arts expert Dennis Hannover. Apparently the injury rate was so high from hardcore Krav Maga the very elite units learned was so high, up to 40% of those selected had to drop out due to injury. (open to correction on that figure), this units krav maga training IDF cut back to 4 months & 2 hours daily to stop the injury rate. (Remember these dudes Shoot!.. KM is a back up).The civilian version is 90% similar syllabus, and it is very simple, very strike orientated, not many techniques, more improvised focused. However, Full Contact all out fighting and full contact attacks from weapons (rubber training knife, baton. gun disarms with gas power air soft guns). I also incorporate a lot of full contact sparring boxing etc, boxing Vs kickboxing with knees etc (and all out fighting non stop 1 min drills). Where I instruct my Krav Maga class, following the syllabus & ethos from Itay Gil.How Hardcore? My Krav Maga class I treach, & train (only several of us small group)I got ribs broken few weeks back during the above free fighting full contact drills (still trained on), yesterday was hard fighting with one guy very close to full knock out. Tomorrow is going be full contact Krav Maga knife defenses, & batons (using hard plastic heavy pipe... not a foam training baton). Black eyes are common. We ease off the hard hard stuff for a few weeks, then do at least 1 week a month full on, do or die.That is the way Itay Gil's Krav Maga method is, that's what he teaches to Special IDF Units (see youtube etc.Long answer because I the above is the only way I could give you you a fair full answer to your question. Compare the "hardcore" to other versions of Krav Maga and draw your own conclusions.Final point, in martial arts in general, there is too much talk about "styles" in general view it like this, there is e.g. punches/strikes etc. E.g. in a real fight street self defense - it is either you or the criminal violent attacker. Only one of you will Win!There is only 2 types of punch/strike -1. A Bad Punch/Strike. they did not damage your attacker. (so your in danger now)2. A Good Punch/Strike's which stunned, neutralized, injured your attacker so you can escape. (Your not a victim, your out of danger. You got a successful result.)Styles - be it Krav Maga or other Reality Self Defense Martial Arts, it is not so much the style most have very similar punches/strikes etc , it is HOW you train that makes Krav maga good for the street. Hardcore full contact and also on street attack recreations and very aggressive mindset.

Is Krav Maga the Best Street fighting system?
Krav Maga is a pretty good street fighting system but if you want to feel confident on the street when getting into an altercation it's best to have cross trained in a few different styles. Krav is very good at teaching you to react explosively to a real life situation. All the moves are practical and have purpose, there is nothing for show or flowery included. Taking a krav maga class will make you feel like you've enrolled in a boot camp, with instructors yelling at you, constantly changing the commands and scenarios in order to push you mentally and physically until you break down. The more they do break you down, the better you will be when you bounce back. In krav, they will teach you not to stop until your opponent is down and is not going to be getting back up. DISCLAIMER: Putting someone down on the street like you will be taught in a krav class may result in criminal charges being filed against you since in many states or countries, you are not allowed to defend yourself after your opponent is no longer a threat. Also, if your opponent is not a perceived threat to witnesses, you can be charged with assault and battery if the court finds you or those you were protecting were not in immediate danger. This is especially hard to argue your way out of beating the crap out of someone who wasn't holding a knife or gun. Be prepared to face the consequences of anything you may do in a streetfight.
