Krav Maga is a defensive tactics system taught to Israel's security and military units. It is not a martial art. Its roots were in the formative days of the Israel Defence Forces in 1948, but it has now been expanded to include civilians.

Krav's strength is that it is a 'horizontal' or integrated system, that is, it covers the full spectrum of confrontational situations from standing striking, groundfighting, control and restraint, empty hands versus weapons and use of weapons such as knives, sticks and everyday items.

Wing Chun is the most popular kung fu style to originate out of China. Its high profile was in large part due its most famous student Bruce Lee. Wing Chun is noted for its extreme close quarter range fighting techniques particularly its skill set known as "sticking hands".

Wing Chun is our base style and many Krav students have a Wing Chun background.

Which means that Krav covers a wide range of combat situations, and incorporates Wing Chun as its martial art element

i think i know what you are talking about

is it the martial art that incorporates that imaginary line thing where it vertically cross sections a persons body, leaving only a straight line as a path for strikes?

Stick with the tried and true MA's otu there. There are alot of flashy demo's and claims from masters who have 500 confirmed kills that are sealed in their military records or have have never lost a fight.

But just look around and see what seems to tbe the most practical...boxing, muy thai, BJJ, Judo...

these are the most practical because they practice REAL techniques that CAN DO HARM.

Not only that, but they practice them 100 %. there is no "mimicing" the movement, there is no philosophies or kata's or forms or any of that shit...you learn the movements and you practice them in live sparring sessions.

keep this in mind: you'll be better of knowing how to throw a punch and take one if you've actually knocked someone out or been knocked out your self. it's hard to say "i can defend against a knife attack and pop their shouldder" when you practice it against a willing partner in repetative, predetermined motions.
