KM was founded in the 50s or 60s right? Despite all of this unverified 'combat testing' in the streets and the numerous Israeli-Arab conflicts, we know for certain that KM has produced zero notable MMA fighters.

You're going to defend KM by saying that 'its only for deadly combat and too dangerous for sport fighting'. Yet Sambo and Jiu Jitsu are both martial arts with military origins and well represented in MMA competition.

how do you seriously compete in a discipline when you routinely use strikes to the eyes, neck, groin, and side of the knees?

MMA competition allows attacks to all of these area except the groin.

I can also tell you that to advance to the upper levels of Krav Maga, you must fight not only other Krav Maga instructors but also instructors from other martial arts disciplines. The testing can last for several days and involves full-on full-contact fighting. In fact, I met a very skilled instructor who actually broke a leg during testing for the next level of advancement.

Hold on. So KM instructors can't use all of their techniques because its too dangerous for their opponents, but in order to advance in rank they have to fight using all of their techniques...

Of course, I am talking about true Krav Maga instruction with its headquarters in Israel, not just some Karate dojo that hung up a "Krav Maga" shingle to attract additional business. Quality of instruction is highly dependent on whether a real Krav Maga program is offered.

This excuse is identical to one used by other styles that Krauser mentioned.
"It's not real Kung Fu, the real stuff you have to go to the Shaolin Temple"
"It's not real Ninjitsu, the real stuff is taught only in secret forests in Japan"

But you don't have to travel to any exotic foreign locations to learn effective Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Muay Thai, etc...

Regarding the very few women who advance to the upper levels (most women lose interest for top level advancement) they would kick the asses of 99.9% of the men on this forum -- even those who have advanced training in the non-lethal martial arts.

Have you actually sparred with these wonder women? Where are the videos? Why aren't they out trading leather for big payouts and the pride of their nation?
