    General Remarks and Recommendations


    In the earlier levels (P1-P3), students must emphasize the preparation and building of mental and physical abilities, to prepare the spirit, the mind and the body to deal with Krav Maga training. Body strength must be emphasized, including power exercises, especially around joints that tend to get hurt and for the neck. With time, students should also exercise the ability to absorb a strike or a fall. Emphasize stretching muscles and limbering of joints (use principles of PNF). One must practice the various attacks while punching pads/bag, in order to: get used to contact; be accurate in the attack; improve technique and combinations of attacks. Level of impact must be low in the beginning and should be increased slowly. Emphasis should be put on the basic attacks; GRADUALLY - with time and enhanced abilities - improving the technique, power and speed to maximum, and beyond. Practice short punches when the hand is 2.5-10 cm. (1-4 inches) from the target.
