Admit it, you’ve always wanted to be able to kick someone else’s ass. Or at the very lease, you’ve wanted to be able to walk down the street without someone else kicking your ass. That’s what Urban Krav Maga is about. It is a unique form of martial arts with a funny name.
In its simplest form, Urban Krav Maga is a set of self-defense videos intended for defense against 10 of the most common forms of attack. The company that makes this also offers a more intensive set of training videos from a DVD set, but this should be enough to disable the attacker and run away. Once away, you can buy the DVD set to learn more (available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.)
It’s a huge download at over 600 megs, but it’s no different than any of the graphics-intense video games that you might have on your iOS device. The app is extremely simple to use having only two buttons at the bottom of the screen. One is for watching the videos and the other is the "About" button.
The videos are high-definition and are easy to understand provided you don’t have problems with an English accent. Lessons are only in English thus far. Sorry, rest of the world.
This is a good app for anybody with that is either interested in learning a new form of self-defense in a relatively inexpensive way that seems a lot more practical than most of the other forms you may have heard of. Recommended.
Quick Take
Value:High.
Would I Buy Again:Indeed.
Learning Curve:Low.
Who Is It For:Those that want to learn how to defend against those that bust heads.
What I Like:Simple to use.
What I Don't Like:Not much. Pretty much does what it says on the tin.
Final Statement:Get this app or I'll beat you up.
arts techniques work against the type of attacks that actually happen to people.
It covers the 10 most common street attacks and is drawn from the first 2 discs
of the highly acclaimed Urban Krav Maga 6-Set DVD.
See here for some reviews of the DVD:
If you want to know about Krav Maga, then check out the 6-disc DVD set by
Stewart McGill…This is a very comprehensive, very instructional, first rate
product presented by people who know what they're doing...for anyone who has an
interest in Self Defence, these 6 DVDs should have some space on your shelves.

I have been training for many years and have been buying training vids the whole
time. This is by far one of the best training vid sets i have seen. Mr. McGill
was very helpful in answering my questions, not to mention providing the
training in the vids! Thank you so much! (Posted on 04/11/2010 on Amazon.co.uk)

There is over 90 minutes of instructional material here from highly qualified
martial artists covering the following:
Pre-Emptive strikes and moves against someone aggressively fronting you up;
Defences and retaliation against:
swinging punches to the head;
a front clothing grab, one handed, followed by punch to the head;
a front clothing grab, two hands, followed by a head butt;
a front clothing grab, two hands, followed by a knee to the groin;
a bottle, glass, or ashtray to the head;
a lashing kick to groin/lower legs;
a broken bottle/glass jabbed to face;
a slash with knife, most commonly a 3 to 4" lock blade knife or kitchen utility
knife;
a grappling style head lock.
There is no reliance on punching power so the techniques can work for everybody
against bigger and stronger opponents.
