I will offer, a Chinese proverb; "fear not the man who knows 10,000 techniques; fear the man, who has practiced 1 technique 10,000 times." While Martial Arts differ in terms of energy efficiency, that is, caloric energy consumed relative to the kinetic (physics) energy exerted, and some are indeed better than others, ultimately it boils down to your own work ethic. Since you are asking and I don't want you walking away from your computer all angry, the answer is Muay Thai; in terms of raw efficiency and effectiveness it easily tops it. There is less to learn, and less to learn means you can do what little you know, more times. If a martial art has 100 moves, how long do you think it will take you to master it, hours and years wise? You don't have to seriously answer but no doubt a very long time. If a martial art only has 10 moves, is it conceivable, you can defend yourself after only 2 months of hard work? If the moves were well thought out, and more importantly well-tested, of course. In Krava Maga, there is just too much unnecessary garbage; the original style taught by Imi Sde Orr its founder, was a simple synthesis of Judo, and Boxing, now, its got "scientific principles this" and "scientific principles that." I don't give a crap about science; I'm trying to stop that psychopath from stomping my head into the pavement! For Christ's sake can't a guy go to a bar without someone picking a fight.... Not saying it happened but, just making a point; too many moves are not a good thing, but neither are too few. Its more how well you know it, not what you know; as you grow older you will come to realize, the refined skill is what is valued by human society at large, not so much knowledge. College degrees, except skill based degrees like say, anything math related, are indeed worthless; given a choice between the two, skill is more valuable than knowledge because ultimately, it is real skill which leads to advancement of knowledge in the first place. Then there is also the issue of spiritual purification; in traditional Chinese and Japanese circles, the masters of days past insisted, that "Kung Fu," that is attaining Savant skill levels in martial arts, was impossible without meditation, meditation, with the intent to make yourself a better person. Due to the influence of Buddhism, the martial artists of Asia, very much believe in Karma; misuse a martial art, and no matter how skilled you are, your Karma will come back to haunt you. Between those two again, Muay Thai, easily; however remember, whereas the learning of skill can be done in a relatively brief span of time, the PERFECTION of skill, the refinement of it, takes time, and a lot of work.

Can you tell me self-defence system which is very close to krav maga?
Well Krav Maga is a combination of many martial arts like Jiujitsu, Muy Thai, and Kickboxing. It seems that Muy Thai is pretty similar. MMA would be like the sport version of krav Maga. They are both a combination of several martial arts, both are modern, and both are proven to be effective, but MMA is a sport and Krav Maga is a combat. Krav Maga is Hebrew for "contact combat" Krav Maga is deadly and will teach how to defend yourself on the streets. So you can say that MMA is like Krav Maga, but just a little less brutal and deadly, and designed for things like UFC or boxing. (any kind of fighting that has rules.) But it will still work great on the streets.
What does No Limits Martial Arts teach?
Karate, Muy Thai, Kenpo, Krav Maga, and self-defense.
What it the closest martial arts to krav minga?
Krav Maga was developed as a "Fighting System". However, all of the Krav Maga techniques have been taken from various Martial Arts from all over the world. So Krav Maga is Krav Maga, and all of the techniques are taken from other arts, it is unique in its on way.
You want to learn krav maga but not the light version that's for womens self defense you wanna learn the hard core version that they teach mossad officers any ideas?
Krav maga is not taught 'watered down' by qualified instructors. It is a straight forward art without any fluff.To give you extra insight into your question on wanting to learn "hardcore Krav maga such as taught to Mossad any ideas".Based on my own almost 10 years of Krav Maga training (26 years I am in self defese or full contact martial arts). I trained in a few different versions of Krav maga, became an krav maga instructor. (plus already 4th dan in Mugendo, full contact kick boxing for year, & do muay thai too)I came across a very "hardcore" version of Krav Maga, I was impressed & I certified as instructor in this "version" of "hardcore" Krav Maga, developed by top expert in Israel called Itay Gil (This was 3 years before "Human Weapon" krav maga History Channel feature, which he appeared in). Itay Gil who was head of I.D.F. Krav Maga training, after he did 9 years active service in unit called Yamam, and still training the Duvdevan IDF unit in Krav Maga and I think the IDF version of navy seal (Sayreth 13, I think is name?) they all are trained in "hardcore krav maga".A friend an associate of Itay Gil, who taught me combat shooting, (part of this style of krav maga instructor certification requirement) who severed in Israeli Special Unit Sayreth Duvdevan maybe 10+ years back, told me the Krav Maga traning was very "hardcore" & daily 2 - hours for 4 - 6 months, then training was montly "top up". Broken noses, KOs, injuries etc. The IDF Krav Maga Instructor who trained him was a son of famous Israel Martial Arts expert Dennis Hannover. Apparently the injury rate was so high from hardcore Krav Maga the very elite units learned was so high, up to 40% of those selected had to drop out due to injury. (open to correction on that figure), this units krav maga training IDF cut back to 4 months & 2 hours daily to stop the injury rate. (Remember these dudes Shoot!.. KM is a back up).The civilian version is 90% similar syllabus, and it is very simple, very strike orientated, not many techniques, more improvised focused. However, Full Contact all out fighting and full contact attacks from weapons (rubber training knife, baton. gun disarms with gas power air soft guns). I also incorporate a lot of full contact sparring boxing etc, boxing Vs kickboxing with knees etc (and all out fighting non stop 1 min drills). Where I instruct my Krav Maga class, following the syllabus & ethos from Itay Gil.How Hardcore? My Krav Maga class I treach, & train (only several of us small group)I got ribs broken few weeks back during the above free fighting full contact drills (still trained on), yesterday was hard fighting with one guy very close to full knock out. Tomorrow is going be full contact Krav Maga knife defenses, & batons (using hard plastic heavy pipe... not a foam training baton). Black eyes are common. We ease off the hard hard stuff for a few weeks, then do at least 1 week a month full on, do or die.That is the way Itay Gil's Krav Maga method is, that's what he teaches to Special IDF Units (see youtube etc.Long answer because I the above is the only way I could give you you a fair full answer to your question. Compare the "hardcore" to other versions of Krav Maga and draw your own conclusions.Final point, in martial arts in general, there is too much talk about "styles" in general view it like this, there is e.g. punches/strikes etc. E.g. in a real fight street self defense - it is either you or the criminal violent attacker. Only one of you will Win!There is only 2 types of punch/strike -1. A Bad Punch/Strike. they did not damage your attacker. (so your in danger now)2. A Good Punch/Strike's which stunned, neutralized, injured your attacker so you can escape. (Your not a victim, your out of danger. You got a successful result.)Styles - be it Krav Maga or other Reality Self Defense Martial Arts, it is not so much the style most have very similar punches/strikes etc , it is HOW you train that makes Krav maga good for the street. Hardcore full contact and also on street attack recreations and very aggressive mindset.
Is cravmag a form of mixed martial arts?
Krav Maga is Israeli military combatives, in its purest, original form, as created by Imi Sde Orr (an alternate name to his birth one), it was in fact only a combination of Boxing, Judo, and Eastern European wrestling. Nevertheless owing to the influence of I believe Rick Blitstein, among others, Krav Maga has absorbed some Kung Fu, and Muay Thai strikes. It is highly similar to MMA in SOME ways, but it is largely stripped down for efficiency, and has no concept of ground techniques. Simply put on the streets you hit the ground you're dead. If you want to see a close relative of Krav Maga in action, you should check out the Metal Gear Solid HD collection, if you have a 360 or PS3, specifically speaking, Metal Gear Solid 3, snake eater. If you don't feel like spending the money you can always youtube or google the video. Look for any and all videos featuring female soldier and amazon known as "The Boss," she uses a form of fighting, very similar to Krav Maga. Another example of Krav Maga is the opening music video for the Bond film "Casino Royale." What the sillouetted actor Daniel Craig is using, is Krav Maga. The thing with MMA and Krav Maga though, is that MMA is a sport, you are only allowed to injure an opponent's body for money and other people's entertainment. In Krav Maga the objective is to maim and incapacitate. Again, the best example of "krav maga," at least a close relative, in the video on the related link. Skip all the way to 2:30, and watch until the end. You will notice that, the entire time, the character uses nothing but leverage. Naturally all that stuff is choreographed nevertheless, the moves are 100% real, no fake martial arts there. Part of why I personally liked the brief fighting sequences is because, and this is a rarity in both video games AND movies, you see what real martial arts would actually look like if perfecetly executed. Her moves are not flashy, showy, or show boaty.....but they get the job done. Martial arts legend Bruce Lee would probably love this video; again, the moves The Boss uses, is as real as it gets. Nothing flashy, showy, or pretty, nevertheless there is indeed a graceful efficiency to it, the "taste for olives" that Lee talked about in his "Tao of Jeet Kune Do." CAN a woman take out a man like that? If her form was flawless and she relied on leverage, kicker with leverage is that timing and execution have to be perfect like in a choreographed video. If you must know, Krav Maga uses quite a bit of Judo too. The reason this style is a "close relative," is because Japanese Self Defense forces combatives, are all Judo based, similar to Krav Maga. Truth be told you could very well argue, that Krav Maga is a derivative style of Judo. Derivative, but not exactly the same. So, its a "yes and no" answer, tragically, sorry. Please refer to the related link.
