Short
review:
Our
instructor,
Sorin
Matei,
is
not
only
a
very
good
teacher,
but
a
funny,
open
minded,
smart
and
a
nice
guy
also.
He
puts
heart
in
every
class
and
every
technique
he
teaches
us.
I
cannot
praise
him
enough,
so,
come
to
the
dojo
if
you're
tempted
to
practice
a
self
defense
martial
art
that
will
make
you
feel
more
confident
and
a
calmer
person.
You'll
also
find
friendly
people
too!
😊
Detailed
review:
The
first
time
I
heard
about
Krav
Maga
was
in
high
school
after
I
started
thinking
that
it's
a
great
idea
to
learn
a
martial
art
for
self
defense.
Searching
through
the
web,
I
came
across
multiple
and
very
different
styles:
Karate,
Judo,
Boxing,
Kickboxing,
Krav
Maga,
Muay
Thai,
Taekwondo,
Jujutsu,
Greco-Roman
wrestling
and
so
on.
With
one
exception,
all
of
them
have
some
drawbacks:
-
Karate
techniques
can't
usually
be
applied
on
street
fights
-
Judo
is
mostly
a
contact
sport
based
on
throws
and
take
downs
and
the
word
"sport"
means
that
certain
attacks
are
forbidden
(like
free
punches
and
kicks)
-
In
Boxing
you
are
only
allowed
to
punch
with
your
hands
and
above
the
waist,
which
clearly
is
not
using
every
possible
limb
of
the
human
body
-
In
Kickboxing
you
can
hit
with
both
hands
and
legs,
but
not
on
weak
spots,
like
between
the
legs
(this
is
also
a
sport)
-
Muay
Thai
is
also
a
sport,
but
allows
many
more
techniques
than
the
others;
however,
deliberately
striking
between
the
legs
is
forbidden,
as
well
as
any
holds
from
contact
sports
like
judo.
-
Taekwondo
techniques
are
mostly
based
on
fast
leg
kicks
and
jumps,
so...
the
hands
are
not
used
so
much
-
Jujutsu
is
based
on
close
combat
only
(unarmed
or
with
a
minor
weapon)
-
Greco-Roman
wrestling
is
also
a
contact
sport
Thus,
the
only
martial
art
I
came
across
that
allows
everything
is
Krav
Maga.
It's
an
art
of
self
defense.
It
has
techniques
that
can
either
immobilize
the
opponent
giving
enough
time
for
you
to
escape
or
end
the
fight
with
1-2
or
at
most
3
punches/kicks.
The
roles
of
the
techniques
are
not
for
show-off
and
keep
the
fight
going
for
others
to
see.
Krav
Maga's
techniques
ensure
that
if
they
are
applied
correctly,
they
will
get
you
out
of
the
fight
as
fast
as
possible.
But
Krav
Maga
is
not
only
about
the
possible
fight.
No
one
that
comes
to
the
dojo
wants
that.
Krav
Maga
is
about
living
a
quiet
life,
peacefully,
without
being
afraid
that
at
some
point
someone
can
walk
in
the
room
and
start
bullying
and
even
hitting
you.
Krav
Maga
is
a
state
of
mind.
When
someone
wants
to
take
on
someone,
when
they
look
at
you
they
should
think
twice
and
change
their
mind
just
by
sensing
that
you're
not
a
person
they
should
get
involved
with.
Our
instructor,
Sorin
Matei,
teaches
just
that.
He
puts
heart
in
every
technique
he
shows
us
and
explains
the
principle
behind
it
and
gives
us
different
scenarios
when
we
could
apply
it.
He
then
watches
us
how
we
execute
them
and
corrects
every
little
thing
that
may
make
the
technique
not
100%
efficient.
Sorin
is
not
only
a
very
good
teacher,
but
a
funny,
open
minded,
nice,
smart
guy
(very
smart
if
you
ask
me;
for
a
lot
of
techniques
he
teaches
he
provides
info
from
fields
like
biology,
geometrics
and
physics
-
simple
stuff,
nothing
complicated
-
in
order
to
make
us
understand
the
logic
behind
the
movement).
He
often
suggests
us
to
go
have
dinner
and
a
drink
after
the
training.
I
took
part
in
some
of
these
dinner
outs
and
after
you
see
the
people
train,
talk,
joke,
laugh,
you
start
realizing
that
this
is
more
than
just
a
class
of
Krav
Maga.
This
is
closer
to
a
friendship,
for
some
even
a
family.
After
my
first
training
with
Sorin,
I
had
some
muscle
fever
in
parts
of
the
body
I
couldn't
think
I
can
have
😂,
but
the
second
training
was
so
awesome,
I
can't
describe
it
enough
to
you
🤩.
The
stuff
you'll
learn
here
will
help
you
be
more
confident
in
yourselves
and
it
will
also
help
you
be
a
calmer
person.
You
have
to
give
it
time,
but
I'll
ensure
you
that
the
journey
is
worth
it
🤩.
See
you
at
the
dojo!
