Pressure testing

HKM is a developing system and will continue to be so. Solutions and methods in the system must continuously prove themselves to stay in the system.

Anything that does not meet the standards of surviving pressure testing under realistic conditions of violent confrontation will be reinvented or removed. Realistic sparring and scenario based training will be a natural part of learning and pressure testing solutions, as well as applying solutions against non-compliant opponents.

Thinking practitioners

In HKM a very strong focus is placed upon efficiency of movement and solving the problem with the means the practitioner has to solve it. Efficiency precedes form and personal abilities has a big impact on performance.

Behavior driven responses, platform, striking, stand up wrestling, clinch, grappling, takedowns, efficiency of movement and the personal prerequisites of the practitioner. Constant pressure testing and sparring is the driving forces to make HKM the most realistic, efficient, and complete fighting and self-defense system on the planet. HKM has a scalability that makes it suitable for as many different groups as possible without losing the effectiveness for the group at hand.

4 pillars

To cover all aspects needed for a effective Fighting and Self-defence system to work in a environment where there the differences between physical attributes of the participants is not taken into consideration training has to cover all 4 pillars to minimize the differences as much as possible.

Technical

This pillar covers all the technical skills and solutions to deal with the problems that might arize.

Tactical

This pillar overs all the tactical skill and solutions to deal with the problems that might arize.

Physical

To be effective in physical conflict a practitioner has to be in as a good of a physical condition as possible.

Mental

The mental aspect of dealing with violent is extremely important. The knowledge and understanding that your Technical, Tactical and Physical skills has been maximized to help you avoiding or surviving violent conflict will build your mental fortitude.

EMBRACE CHAOS

Violent conflict is an ever changing environment of chaos. Erratic, changing, momentarily decided by circumstances that is out of our control.

To combat this we have to spend time in it and learn to control it, to embrace the chaos as part of our environment.

We have to learn to take control of what is available to us in the moment and then work to improve on that. Get closer to the core of the problem and deal with it with the tools available to us

All training in violent conflict has to involve the element of chaos to be realistic.

Hybrid Krav-Maga utilizez chaos as a tool and let the students learn to embrace it as part of training by spending time in it.

Learn to control chaos by embracing it.
