Self Defense Training
Although many martial arts focus on the virtues of violent
restraint during conflict, the commonality of all styles is that they’re
systems of self-defense training. In regard to fighting, the bottom
line is survival: defeating an opponent by any means. Yet in the wake of
9/11, the general public is more aware of the preparatory effectiveness
that martial arts brings to those interested in protecting themselves
and their families.
The trend of self-defense training systems moving away from the codified traditions of martial arts as a way of life have led to a view of martial arts techniques as a means of survival. Self-defense training has become about quickly developing skills for personal combat in which the mindsets range from maiming your attacker with brutal, lethal tactics to escape tactics (i.e., get the heck out of there as quickly as possible). Any self-defense system is about identifying your goal and training to meet it.
Before the advent of guns, especially in Asian cultures, military and
martial artists developed battle-, ring- and street-tested methods of
CQC training. CQC techniques have specifically focused on efficient,
powerful and deadly hand-to-hand fighting strategies. Many martial
arts—such as muay boran, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and wing chun kung fu—have evolved from combining skill sets from other combative arts.
Today’s martial artists, law-enforcement officers, military and elite fighting forces incorporate simple armed and unarmed drills, situational awareness and scenario training. Current CQC training also synthesize wrestling and boxing with neo-modern martial arts such as muay Thai, sambo, and “whatever comes along and is useful.”
Combatives is a term used
by the United States Army for its hand-to-hand combat training program.
Although the key for military personnel during missions is to never
find one’s self in a situation without a rifle, sidearm or knife,
sometimes a soldier has to defend himself with his fists.
Initialized by Rex Applegate during WWII and presented in his book Kill or Get Killed (1943), American combatives’ foundation lies in the close quarters combat techniques developed by British armed forces officers William E. Fairbairn and Eric A. Sykes while working for the Shanghai Municipal Police between 1907-1940.
In 2002, Matt Larsen created the Modern Army Combatives program, which incorporates judo, escrima, boxing, muay Thai and the Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The effectiveness of combatives’ training methods come from their short, easily repeatable drills, so soldiers can rapidly learn and effectively perform combatives techniques.
Krav maga is a
brutal hybrid form of martial arts hand-to-hand combat that was founded
by Imi Lichtenfeld (1910-1998). It is based on Imi Lichtenfeld’s street
fighting, boxing and wrestling skills that he used to defend the Jewish
quarter in the city of Bratislava (the modern capital of Slovakia)
against fascist groups in the mid- to late-1930s.
After fleeing Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, Imi Lichtenfeld arrived in Israel in 1942 and immediately began teaching close-quarters combat to Israel’s first fighting units. After Israel’s independence in 1948, Imi Lichtenfeld became the chief instructor of physical training for the Israel Defense Forces, and his fighting style was named krav maga, which means “contact combat” in Hebrew.
The following principles define krav maga: Strive for maximum versatility, defend and attack simultaneously, never assume that the fight is over, train from positions of disadvantage, target vulnerable areas, let reality dictate your response, use instinctive movements, train to build sound tactics and strive to get yourself as safe as possible as quickly as possible.
Krav maga’s basic philosophy is aggression and threat neutralization, which are tenets that align well with the IDF Special Forces where krav maga is standard training.

Close Quarters Combat
Traditionally, close-quarters combat was a military or law-enforcement term used to describe armed or unarmed hand-to-hand combat. However, the importance of martial arts in CQC training has always been of tantamount importance.
