I'm not (yet) a Krav Maga student, but one of the things you taught without necessarily saying so is this: Once you block, control the opponent. Keep said opponent under YOUR control, in the space YOU decide. Other marrial arts teach this, but somehow what you demonstrated showed it in a way I don't think I'd ever understood before.

I did my P1 grading yesterday and leading up to the day I knew that my 360 wasnt great...I watched this video and it reminded me of the 360 basics that I could focus on during the grading...helped heaps....thanks.

Excellent explanation. I will start spreading my fingers and rotating out.

Very good and detailed explanation of 360 defense.

Awesome

Nicely explained... Very helpful to know about the precise things in this technique.

Thanks Kevin! Add my name to those who appreciate the way you have explained this!

360 is only for outside attacks. Straight punches require inside defenses. Watch that video.

Brilliant video, very well explained!!

im practicing the hand flares tomorrow ,have been shown to reinforce the the index finger with the thumb to strengthen the whole hand and have maximum reach and lead the parry with the elbow (it just make sense to me personally to think im moving the elbow ,it gets in place better)

great explanations

great video and good explained!

Thank you :) good video

Nice

Applause 👏

Fine.

You should try your best to block with the middle of your forearm instead of your wrist. A committed strike from a person your size or larger will go right through your block if it hits your wrist. Using the middle of the forearm, a woman can stop a strike from a much larger man. Give it a try.

The 360 has its limitations. Straight punches from a decent street fighter will come in very fast and recoil. Blocking kicks with your hand down with open fingers is a no no. You can break your arm and fingers, block with the leg or use your footwork to move. A lot easier. Those knife blocks are dangerous, what if the knife travels low then high. You are asking too much from the blocking, people are not that fast and will get cut very easily. There are good knife fighters out there, also. Don't assume bad guys can't fight. They have little fear to start a fight and strike first. If they pull out a knife, use your belt, take your jacket off, throw coins from your pocket, scream for help and run and call the police or just get out of there. Use odd objects as weapons like the forementioned plus a beverage throw, magazine strike, stick fighting and anything else you can toss.

+kmxbox are you related to Rob Mcelhenney?

Wing chun, Aikido and Krav Maga...are all the most delusional people in all of martial arts. All never seen in a real fight...because "It's too dangerous for any competition." Well...any tom, dick or harry can make that claim. "I have developed the best martial arts style." "Show us" "Can't. Too deadly."
