The BBC released an article that does a great job explaining much of the core of Krav Maga, along with history and why many people are students.

There are two excellent videos, great for sharing with anyone who has not been trained in Krav Maga before.

One video includes some history and general mindset.
The second video is shorter & is a testimonial from a 15 year old, who tells his story that lead him to train and how training in Krav Maga has effected him, his confidence, and his self-esteem.

Thanks to Kristin Wilson Keppler, author of this piece, for doing such a great job presenting Krav Maga.
