In Wednesday night’s brief exploration into some of the curriculum newly added to Krav Maga, we came across a position called the Russian Tie-up or 2-on-1. As I mentioned in class, for Krav Maga this is a position of momentary and transitory control for setting up threat-eliminating, fight-ending combatives. We want to avoid grappling matches whenever possible. More importantly, we train techniques like this so that we can better learn to defend against them.
Here are a few more (mostly non-Krav) things you can do with the 2-on-1:
If you missed Wednesday’s classes, don’t fret; this stuff will be worked into the regular training rotation. For a reminder on the single-leg takedown, check out this post.
