In the martial arts there has always been this need for the student to latch onto a specific instructor. It is very common for students to want to train with instructors who have a direct link to the founder. In Krav Maga this is extremely common in fact. But again what does it mean. Over the past several years I have heard, seen, read and witnessed instructors and students alike waste time arguing over who is teaching Imi's Krav Maga.
The truth of the matter is that none of the civillian organizations are teachin military Krav Maga. So depending on when an instructor became involved with Krav Maga the style of "Imi's Krav Maga" was different. As an instructor grows in any system he changes over time. This is especially true for the founder of the system. Krav Maga was meant to change. It was meant to constantly improve. It is not static and stale it is alive and breathing. So should our training be. More to come.....
