Most of the time Krav Maga is considered to be a form of martial arts. But Krav Maga is not at all similar to the MMA. Though it has different techniques from karate, Ju-Jitsu and boxing but the philosophy and execution are unlike MMA.
Krav Maga is not an Art The major difference in MMA and Krav Maga is that MMA is an “art”. MMA is a competitive sport and it has rules and limitations. On the other hand, Krav Maga is a system of self-defense techniques that emphasizes on self-protection with no boundaries. There are no limitations of inflicting physical harm to the attacker in self-defense. MMA has strict rules not to injure the opponent and do not exercise aggressive moves. But in Krav Maga the principles are totally opposite. Krav Maga is a survival system and in the process of surviving an attack any kind of violent and aggressive action is permissible. Even the main self-defense techniques of Krav Maga includes gouging the eyes, kicking in the groin with full power and targeting the softer face areas like punching the nose with full force to disable the opponent. Even some techniques like punching the heart, back of the head and side of the neck can prove fatal to assailant. In MMA these dangerous kinds of hits and strikes are not permissible at all.
