What about Krav Bagha? Is that any good? Sure. Yeah. You don't hear much about Krav. Well, it's a combination. It's a self-defense system. I believe it was created for the Israeli military. But what it essentially is, is the best aspects of all these different martial arts. Like a Jeet Kune Do. Like a Jewish Jeet Kune Do. Bruce Lee's idea of Jeet Kune Do is like you take what's useful from whatever martial art and combine them.
