I've been reading up a lot on Krav Maga, it looks like all Israel special forces are trained in it. My understanding is you can learn it in the US too, anyone know where I can learn this? Looks effective for realistic street situations.

Not in this area, are these authentic schools or are they watered down versions? That is what I am concerned about.

Yes, I figured maybe for a situation where you are crowded by 3 or 4 thugs in the street or you can't get instant access to your weapon maybe it would be ideal? Most street thugs I would assume aren't trained?
