KRAV MAGA is a compulsory combat art for IDF and military and law enforcement personnel, and is also a compulsory course for the FBI, and has been widely used in military and police departments around the world.
KRAV MAGA can be effectively used for personal self-defense, and practitioners can carry out timely and effective security defense when encountering aggression from others.
The difference between KRAV MAGA and other fighting techniques is that the technical movements are completed most quickly according to the actual situation, and the scientific and effective teaching methods and training methods of KRAV MAGA enable practitioners to use instinctive reactions to complete technical movements.
Let’s introduce the defensive counterattack moves in KRAV MAGA against short stick attacks.
Note: In the following animated GIF demo picture, the stick holder is the enemy, and the unarmed person is us.
Trick 1:

1. When the enemy holds a stick in his right hand and slashes at us from top to bottom, we immediately stretch out our arms and rush towards the enemy.
The purpose of this action is, first, to lunging forward close to the enemy’s body, which can effectively avoid the stick with the greatest strength of the splitting stick, so that it cannot be effective; Second, our straightened left arm can effectively block the enemy’s swinging right arm; The third is to prepare for the next action.
2. When our elbow joint approaches the enemy’s shoulder and neck, our left arm clamps the enemy’s right arm holding the stick from top to bottom, and at the same time the right arm hugs the enemy’s neck from top to bottom to left, and at the same time we raise our right knee and slam into the enemy’s crotch and abdomen. At this time, the enemy will be severely damaged by me.
3. Our right leg lands on the ground and retreats one step, the left arm still tightly clamps the enemy’s right arm holding the stick, and at the same time our right hand grabs the enemy’s short stick.
4. Immediately afterwards, our right hand swung the short stick snatched by us and slammed the enemy’s right knee, causing it to lose its ability to further invade.
In self-defense, some people’s boxing power is relatively small, and when facing fierce gangsters, they often cannot quickly knock out gangsters. There is now a self-defense ring that you can carry around and can be used to increase the strength of your boxing strikes. At critical moments, the gangster can be dealt a devastating blow that incapacitates them for further abuse.

1. When the enemy holds a stick in his right hand and slashes at us from top to bottom, we immediately rush towards the enemy; At the same time, the left arm is extended forward parallel to the enemy’s right arm, and the right hand is pushed outward from right to left as the enemy’s right hand holding the stick.
The purpose of this action is, first, to lunging forward close to the enemy’s body, which can effectively avoid the stick with the greatest strength of the splitting stick, so that it cannot be effective; Second, the right hand push can change the direction of the enemy’s short stick and avoid the short stick; Three straight left arms prepare for controlling the enemy’s right arm.
2. When our left shoulder approaches the enemy’s right wrist, our left arm immediately clamps the enemy’s right arm holding the stick from bottom to right; At the same time, our right hand grasps the enemy’s right shoulder and presses down; At the same time, the right knee slammed into the enemy’s crotch and abdomen.
3. Our left hand must still firmly control the enemy’s right hand holding the stick. Immediately after the upward movement, our right leg falls backwards, and our left foot retreats back parallel to the right foot; At the same time, our left hand pulled the enemy’s arm into my arms to make the enemy lean forward; When the enemy’s upper body leans forward, our right elbow is used to vigorously sweep the enemy’s left neck outside the vital point.
4. At this time, our left hand must still firmly control the enemy’s right hand holding the stick. Immediately after the upward movement, our right hand grabbed the enemy’s right shoulder and pressed down, while lifting the right leg to hit the enemy’s crotch and abdomen.
5. After the above consecutive counterattacks, our right hand took the short stick held by the enemy.
Trick 3:

1. When the enemy’s right hand holds a stick to sweep our waist, our side immediately jumps forward and uses the left leg to hit the enemy’s heart pit.
The purpose of this action is, first, that our side jumps forward, and the knee-raising action before the leg bounce can block the enemy’s right arm, and at the same time avoid the stick with the greatest strength of the enemy’s short stick, so that the enemy’s short stick cannot function; Second, jumping up the leg can increase the hitting power of the leg.
2. After completing the left leg bounce action, our left foot falls forward; At the same time, our left hand grasps the right wrist of the enemy holding the stick and presses downward; At the same time, he punches the enemy’s Adam’s apple with his right straight fist.
3. At this time, our left hand must still firmly grasp the right wrist of the enemy holding the stick. Without stopping, our right foot retreated half a step back, and the right hand grabbed the enemy’s right shoulder and pressed down, and at the same time, the right leg was lifted to hit the enemy’s crotch and abdomen.
4. After our continuous counterattacks, the enemy will be severely damaged. At this time, our right foot retreats one step back and lands on the ground; At the same time, the left arm clamps the short stick, and the right hand takes the short stick from the enemy’s right hand.
To practice the above moves, ordinary training is essential, and having a stand-up sandbag (tumbler) at home can facilitate your usual training.
