i've read up about it, sounds perfect. I have done karate to brown belt but never really got a lot out of it as i felt it was too rigid. Krav maga seems not only to be good for overall fitness but teaches you to be hard as nails in a bad situation.

Are the techniques learned actually useable in real life??? (in a defense situation obviously).

I did karate for years but apart from being good for fitness it would be useless in a real self defense situation...

The first lesson in self-defence is to never put yourself in a position where you're required to use the other 99 lessons.

Krav Maga does instill confidence but it also reminds you of your limitations.

If it's purely for self defence, I would question your lifestyle.

Haha no its not, its for fitness. I just want to do something interesting, not run on a treadmill or kick a ball about.

In that case give it a try. Where do you live? Do you have a local club?
