List of Krav Maga Weapon Defenses - Section supported by Krav Maga books

This section looks at Krav Maga techniques used to defend against an attacker armed with a weapon such as a gun, knife, club, etc. However, be aware that unarmed combat against weapons is very dangerous and should only be used as a last resort. Consider other options first (i.e. run away from danger). These pages and videos are also meant to reinforce and supplement what you have learned in your Krav Maga classes. To properly understand these techniques, you need to learn them from a Krav Maga instructor who can give an in-depth explanation of the technique, correct your mistakes and detail how the technique should be utilized.

For other Krav Maga techniques (i.e. punches, kicks and groundwork), please visit the main Krav Maga Techniques section.
