Krav Maga - 360 Degree Defenses (Proper Hand Position)

This video shows in detail the proper hand position for all the 360 Degree Defenses (Outside Defenses). Also, it explains several reasons why a proper hand position is important for these defenses. Finally, it shows two drills you can use to improve your hand position while practicing these defenses. Additional videos and information about our self defense, fighting, and fitness programs are available at http://www.kravmagatraining.com/ The videos on this YouTube channel are NOT a replacement for actual instruction. They do not teach techniques, but instead isolate and fix problems within the technique or its individual components. The videos are designed to help the student who has already learned the technique under the instruction of a qualified instructor. Important Note: These videos are specific to the techniques and curriculum taught to the students at our facility. Students from other Krav Maga schools and organizations are more than welcome to watch and use these videos and we hope they find them useful! However, variations may be taught that are different from the techniques taught at other Krav Maga locations. This doesn't mean one variation is wrong or the other is right. They are just variations...plain and simple. The most important question for any technique or defense should be this: Does it work for the individual who is performing it? As long as it does, then the technique or variation has merit, regardless of where it comes from! That's the number one principle that we emphasize at our school. Transcript: "Hello, this is Randall and Glenda with KravMagaTraining.com. And with this video we're going to discuss the proper hand positioning for the 360 block. The hand positioning is, quite frankly, is often screwed up by a lot of our Level 1 students. Even though we teach it to them, they kind of don't do it consistently because I don't think they appreciate the importance of the proper hand positioning. Now before I explain the reasons for that, I actually want to show you the proper hand positioning. It's basically a karate chop position. I'm going to bring it nice and close to the camera so you can't miss this. This is exactly what it should look like. Your fingers should be together so they are supporting each other. All right, there's a reason why some martial arts call this a "knife hand", not a "fork hand". Don't do this. You're going to get your fingers jammed up a lot easier. And also your fingers are supposed to be together to kind of support each other. The other thing is, an important detail that a lot of people miss, is this knuckle here on the thumb. You don't want it hanging out like this. You're more likely to get your thumb caught and bent back and get it jammed. You want to bend that knuckle on the thumb and tuck it in. Not only to protect it but also when you bend this knuckle on the thumb, you'll actually feel your hand tighten up. This is like the equivalent of making a tight fist but with an open hand. As soon as you get that knuckle in the right spot you're hand is going to feel nice and strong and stable. So this is the proper hand positioning. Now, the reason why this is so important is there's actually several reasons. Okay, the first is sometimes I see students doing 360 blocks while making a fist. The proper with the fist is that your defenses are going to be a little bit slower. It's a lot faster to do your defenses when your hands are open compared to when your fists are tight because your body tightens up. Your forearms tighten up. So if your hands are open you're going to move quicker. The other reason is you have a larger margin of error. You have a larger blocking surface. When Glenda throws the big old strike at me, yeah, I know we're supposed to block wrist to wrist. But maybe I'm a little off. As long as my hand is open like this, at least I'm blocking with my fingers. I know that's not optimal. It's not real strong as blocking with my wrist. But it sure as hell is a lot better than me having a fist, totally missing the defense, and getting clobbered with that strike. So if I'm a little off and I use a fist, I'm going to miss that. At least if I'm a little off and my fingers are straight, I'm going to block something. So, that would be, like I said, even though we're supposed to go wrist to wrist, if you have your hand open it's going to give you a larger margin of error..."
