The first rule taught by any good martial arts teacher is that the best way to win a battle is to run away. Whenever possible, try to avoid conflicts and avoid making trouble, especially if you are just a novice in martial arts. However, when things change, it's a good idea if you know some self-defense techniques to defend against attackers.
1. During collision: Krav Maga
This martial art originated in Israel and was taught by the army and Mossad (Israel's National Intelligence Agency). Many people think that this is the most effective way to resist attackers. The name "Krav Maga" comes from a Hebrew phrase that means "contact combat". It does what the iron pot says - the practitioners have personal experience, close combat, and are not afraid to attack each other's face or between their legs. The most important thing is to maintain an advantage over the attacking side. If you find yourself in a terrible situation and need to protect yourself, if you know exactly how to deal with your opponent, whether your actions are fair or not, you will have a great advantage.
Krav Maga draws heavily on other martial arts such as boxing, wrestling, Karate (especially kicking) and judo (throwing, lever and ground fighting). It also combines natural reflection and reaction. This means that Israeli martial arts are relatively easy to learn. After only six months, you can fully grasp the basic knowledge and be able to resist attackers. Even if they have weapons.
Difficulty: these skills are easy to learn and can be learned quickly.
Suitability: men and women of any age need only moderate suitability.

Some professional fighters believe that MMA is the most difficult of all martial arts. Compared with other fighting sports, you can hardly argue with them. MMA uses many different methods, including Taekwondo, Muay Thai, boxing, wrestling and Brazilian judo. The list is short - combatants are not allowed to attack the opponent's eyes, neck or groin, hit the spine or back of the head, bite or pull the nose or ears.
Fortunately, well-trained MMA practitioners have many other moves and techniques, and do not mind these restrictions. They learn how to deal with armed attackers, how to get rid of all kinds of restrictions (including suffocation), and what to do when you face multiple opponents.

"Holy act, Batman!" If you say this to a Casey warrior, you won't go too far - because this is a martial arts technique that Christian bell borrowed in Batman's birth. The filmmakers wanted the battle scenes to look new and realistic. That's why they were organized using the principles of Casey's method of combat (KFM). This is a relatively young martial art, which has not reached the popularity of some competitors. But it can deliver goods, which is why it belongs to this list.

Cathy's tutor attaches great importance to achieving physical, spiritual and emotional harmony. You need to have a good enough body so that your body won't hinder you.
