The way I see it, Krav Maga is not so much a martial technique as a mindset. If you’re being attacked, attack and defend at the same time, as soon as possible, as violently as possible. Kick, punch, knee, scratch, bite, push, shove, run—whatever. Go all in. This instructional video has some interesting ideas (as in wow honey that’s an interesting dress). It neglects a key option, should you find yourself in a fight for your life with someone trying to grab your gun: shoot your attacker. Rotate the shoulder? How about pull the trigger? Even if the bullet doesn’t find center mass, the hot gasses, noise and movement tend to throw an assailant off his game—long enough to give you the time and space to shoot him or her again, properly.
