Description: Proper mental attitude is of primary importance in the Krav Maga's ability to strike an opponent. In hand-to-hand combat, the Krav Maga must have the attitude that he will defeat the enemy and complete the mission, no matter what. In a fight to the death, the Krav Maga user must have the frame of mind to survive above all else; the prospect of losing cannot enter his mind. He must commit himself to hit the opponent continuously with whatever it takes to drive him to the ground or end his resistance. A memory aid is, “Thump him and dump him!”
Limit: Must be Yellow Belt Krav Maga

Aaron waited to see what surprise his teacher had for him. Suddenly his vision split and when he opened his eyes Aaron saw two masked men. Drawing a kunai, Aaron waited to see what they would do. One of the men withdrew his own kunai and hurled it towards Aaron. Leaning backwards to dodge as the kunai flew overhead, Aaron righted himself countering with his own kunai. Dodge and counter. He did not know what was planned, but he would overcome. Pride demanded survival and he would crush the two before him.

The first man dodged the kunai and simply stood there as the second charged forward. Aaron tried once again to summon his bees or use jutsu but neither worked. Aaron assumed an Iron Fist stance and waited for him. Keeping one eye on the first man, Aaron watched as the second closed the distance. From the corner of his eye Aaron saw a pair of shuriken coming at him. He dodged the first and ducked under the second. There was no way to counter with the second man closing fast. Resuming his stance Aaron charged forward to meet the second man. The first would not be throwing projectiles while his buddy was in close range combat.

Aaron mimicked his opponent as they both withdrew kunai simultaneously. The kunai collided with each other Aaron unwilling to give ground. He would find a way to break their team. When they were within feet of each other Aaron lunged forward to counter the man's charge. Aaron's kunai collided with his opponent's, the metal scraping. Each tried to force the other one back and deliver a quick victory. Neither wholly succeeded.

The man jumped backwards and Aaron did likewise before jumping forward. Aaron ducked under the wild kunai swing bringing his kunai up and into his opponent's arm. The man merely hopped back flipping the kunai to his other hand and lunged at Aaron. Like a man possessed he used the kunai like a dagger directing sharp jabs forward. Left, right, left, Aaron dodged most of the blows. One slashed his right arm. Perhaps Aaron was not as quick at evasion as he thought. Shoving aside the pain Aaron planned his counter. When there was a momentarily lull, Aaron took his chance.

A quick flick of the wrist enabled him to throw his kunai straight at the man's chest. The man went to block with his kunai and Aaron jumped bringing his leg straight up into the man's jaw. There was a loud crunching sound as the man flew backwards. The second man disappeared in a poof of smoke. It had been a shadow clone all along. The man disappeared leaving Aaron alone on the field.

Special: None
Drawback: None
Description: A strike should be delivered so that the target is hit and the weapon remains on the impact site for at least a tenth of a second. This imparts all of the kinetic energy of the strike into the target area, producing a fluid shock wave that travels into the affected tissue and causes maximum damage. It is imperative that all strikes to vital points and nerve motor points are delivered with this principle in mind. The memory aid is, “Hit and stick!”
Limit: Must be Yellow Belt Krav Maga

Without warning the field disappeared, and Aaron felt a cloth over his eyes. Removing the cloth Aaron saw the teacher still cross-legged with his eyes closed. "Welcome back," he said. "You pass for now." The door opened behind him. The first sensei had returned while Aaron's head spun from what had just happened. Aaron still did not understand everything but the sitting teacher said, "You now know enough to advance to the next level." After sitting a moment longer, Aaron rose slowly to his feet a little unsteady.

The first teacher asked, "Still want to master Krav Maga?"

"Yes," said Aaron though he would prefer no more mind games. The ringer his mind went through left him mentally exhausted. The teacher led Aaron to a different room with several differentiated dummies. "I watched your strikes earlier. Knowing where to strike is not enough. You must fluidly maximize the damage in your impact to truly understand Krav Maga. When you hit the vital point, it will glow when it receives maximum impact. Good luck," said the sensei leaving Aaron alone once again. Aaron thought the teaching style of the dojo was odd. Still he was learning so he could not complain.

Aaron looked at the dummies. One had marking showing vital points and the other was a blank dummy. Approaching the marked dummy Aaron assumed an Iron Fist stance; time to find out what the sensei met. Aaron delivered a quick strike with his left hand to the larynx. Immediately after impact Aaron withdrew his hand. The marking on the larynx blinked red repeatedly before reverting to a normal looking target, red dot with white line around it. Interesting. Attacking the larynx would cause speech impediment, breathing difficulty and possibly suffocation leading to death. It was an assumption but Aaron thought that making the dot glow would mean it would be a death hit or lead to death.

Aaron reassumed the Iron Fist stance with his left arm extended. A quick stiff hand to the larynx caused the mark to blink again. Blinking was not the same as glowing. On his next attempt, Aaron struck the larynx while bringing his body forward to give him more momentum behind the stiff hand. The dot blinked even faster than before. He needed to figure out how to make it glow.

Aaron struck again, but this time his foot slipped as he leaned forward. The hand smashed into the larynx pushing it in, as the split second it took to recover kept continuous pressure on the larynx. The larynx mark was glowing red as Aaron withdrew his hand. By accident he had figured out what the teacher meant.

With the new knowledge Aaron was ready to experiment with the larynx some more. When the glow subsided Aaron resumed the Iron Fist stance. Delivering a karate chop to the larynx, Aaron continued apply pressure to it. The mark blinked red before switching to a solid glow. Fixated on the making the target glow Aaron almost missed the shaking of the dummy. The entire neck vibrated from the impact. Aaron tried again. Another success but Aaron had a hard time recovering from the attack. If he missed, he would be in trouble

There seemed to be more to making the attack fluid than he thought. Aaron continued striking the larynx trying to make it a smooth attack that he could recover from enabling him to move into a secondary attack. The problem was that Aaron was used to quickly striking and responding to the next attack, not keeping pressure on the same spot. A moment of steady pressure threw off Aaron's usual style of attacking. As he attacked the larynx over and over making it glow Aaron worked on withdrawing and making his body nimble enough to move quickly into another attack. Minimizing the delay was the most important piece.

Finally satisfied that he could attack the larynx fluidly and with some luck inflict maximum damage, Aaron moved to the next vital point he had memorized: the Kote lying on the inside of the elbow. Aaron had not yet decided on the best way to strike the Kote so it would be up to the sensor to tell him. Aaron looked at the mark as he assumed the Iron Fist stance. It was more out of habit than necessity for Krav Maka was not Goken.

Aaron looked at the dummy's arm leaning against the side of its body. Sliding his left foot forward Aaron grabbed the arm with his left, brought it up and using his hips to turn brought his right hand down so that the side of his pinky smashed into the Kote. The dot blinked as he exerted steady pressure on the spot. After a moment it glowed red showing maximum transfer of energy. The strike if real would have caused the target numbness and at maximum impact to faint due to the blood flow disruption. Releasing the arm so it returned to the dummy's side Aaron worked on making the attack faster.

Taking a big breath Aaron backed up from the dummy then leaped forward, grabbing the arm and exposing the vital point as he brought his other hand around jabbing the fingers perpendicularly into the Kote. The sensor beeped red and then glowed red as Aaron withdrew his arm. Trying once more Aaron twisted the dummy's arm up with his right hand and jabbed at the Kote with his left letting the force behind his attack transfer into the dummy. The dummy's arm shook slightly at the impact. Aaron kept switching hands and arms of the dummy to measure how fast it took for maximum damage to transfer. It was harder than he thought as a direct hit took a tenth of a second while being slightly off took several seconds. It would be tricky to effectively strike the Kote in battle at his current skill level. He would have to make sure he did not miss for if he missed the vital point then mere numbness of the arm could let the enemy respond before Aaron withdrew. More than half of a second, and the attack would be worthless.

Feeling he had made the arm glow as much as he could for right now Aaron focused on the groin region. There was a big target marked down there given the many areas the groin could be hit. The nerve impact of a solid hit could send the person into shock and definitely would cause extreme pain. In striking principles Aaron had decided on a knee to the groin was the most effective so that was how he would practice. From a perfectly still position Aaron brought up his knee and smashed it into the groin. The mark immediately flashed red at a ridiculously fast pace but did not glow for another moment.

Aaron kneed the groin repeatedly in slightly different focal points in order to see which registered the most pain. After many attempts Aaron could get the mark to glow red at no faster than a tenth of a second. Perhaps Aaron did not have the needed skills, because he could not get a consistent impact. Each attempt took a different amount of time. After some more practice the idea of hit and stick sunk into his skull. The mark glowed red after a minimum of a tenth of a second and at max two seconds. It dawned on Aaron that the fluid transfer of force into the victim was the goal. Aaron finally understood what the teacher meant. He could not believe it took him so long to realize it.

Trying a jump kick to the groin Aaron focused the impact of his foot into the groin willing it to inflict maximum damage quickly. Willing did not help much for it took four tenths of a second for the mark to glow red. Aaron tried a new tactic. He would try combining both attacks. Aaron reached for the dummy's arm and exposed the Kote slamming a stiff hand into it. The mark was blinking as Aaron released the arm and lifted his knee straight into the groin. It glowed red immediately. Hitting two vulnerable areas quickly would intensify the effects of the attack. Aaron reversed the order for the second attempt, and this time the Kote glowed red immediately. Aaron wondered what effect two vital point attacks one after the other would have on a human body. The dummy merely showed impact not the true affects on an attack on the body.

Aaron realized that he had only been attacking the marks on the dummy. Moving to the unmarked dummy Aaron was curious about what affect his attacks would do there. Without looking at the marked dummy Aaron would attack the three points he had just been attacking. Assuming an Iron Fist stance Aaron lunged forward lending momentum to his stiff hand to the larynx. The area blinked red and after about three tenths of a second glowed red. As Aaron recalled his left hand he snatched the dummy's right arm with his right hand and exposing the Kote delivered a chop perpendicular to the imaginary artery running through it. The force of Aaron's assault shook the arm as the mark glowed red. Finally Aaron dropped the arm and as the dummy was falling backwards lifted his leg and delivered a shin to the groin. In a tenth of a second the dummy glowed red in the groin. In less than a second Aaron had fluidly delivered attacks to three pressure points. It should be enough to bring down an opponent immediately as the body would go into shock. However the question was would he get the chance to perform so many blows against a nin.

Thinking it over Aaron realized that by the time he could do that many blows the fight would already be over. Perhaps he should focus his efforts on maximizing each individual strike. When the marks faded away Aaron went to strike the Kote again. It was taking the longest of the three areas to glow red. To improve the transfer of impact Aaron thought through what he did in the strike. The only conclusion Aaron could come up with was that either he was hitting with the wrong part of the hand or he did not have enough momentum behind his attack. Forming the Iron Fist Stance again Aaron formed his stiff hand like usual but was a step back this time. Reaching with his right hand for the dummy's right arm Aaron pulled the right arm so it was slightly further away. Using the elbow to increase his momentum Aaron struck with blinding speed against the Kote. It took merely a tenth of a second for the arm to glow red giving Aaron the insight he needed. The force transferred quicker if he used his body's natural leverage to aid his attack.

Eye Poke
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: A slight jab in the eyes causes uncontrollable watering and blurred vision. A forceful jab or poke can cause temporary blindness, or the eyes can be gouged out. Death can result if the fingers penetrate through the thin bone behind the eyes and into the brain.
Special: None
Drawback: Must be close to opponent.
Description: User the index finger on either hand for one eye or the index and middle finger for both eyes the user thrusts their fingers into the opponents eye with differing effects depending on the strength of the attack.
Limit: None

Satisfied that Aaron knew the fundamentals the teacher lead Aaron to the main room equipped with various dummies. Approaching one of them, the teacher jabbed two fingers into the eyes. "A simple defense is to poke your enemy in the eye. Experiment for a while," he said disappearing to help someone else.

The dummy Aaron faced had realistic looking eyes down to the pupil. Krav Maga was about fighting dirty to survive and Aaron would survive. It was obvious a finger attack would be needed to pierce the eyes, a fist or palm would never succeed. The teacher had pierced the eyes too quickly for Aaron to witness the eye poke but given which fingers were the most comfortable to jab with Aaron figured it had to be the index and middle finger. It was time to see what amount of force was needed to destroy an eye.

Aaron would start with striking just one eye, the left eye with his left hand. Aaron extended his index finger and went up to the dummy feeling the eye by rubbing his index finger with it. The eyelid closed over his finger. The eye was an exact mimicry of a real eye even down to the texture and response. Withdrawing his finger, the eyelid lifted and Aaron pressed slightly into the eye feeling his finger push against the cornea. Mini water droplets, replicas of tears formed as Aaron pushed the eye. There was a little give but what Aaron was doing now would cause irritation, blurriness and tears but little else.

Aaron withdrew his finger again and waited a moment for the water to disappear. It was a good simulation. Index finger extended Aaron jabbed it quickly into the eye breaking through the cornea and lens. The sensation was indescribable but definitely uncomfortable. Withdrawing his finger Aaron wiped off whatever was used to make the eye so realistic. The eye reformed itself and the tears dried once more. Aaron wished he knew what they used for the eye.

Ready for the bizarre sensation Aaron jabbed his finger deep into the eye, shoving aside the weird feeling of crushing the lens, pupil and cornea as as he twisted his finger around and withdrew it gouging the eye. The eye looked a mess as it dangled halfway out of the body. Aaron did not think it was a fatal blow. The eye retracted back into the eye socket and reformed itself. He was ready to try for a fatal eye attack. It should be possible.

Aaron jabbed his left index finger far into the left eye passed through the lens, pupil, and cornea continuing until he felt a small bone snap. Aaron had pierced the brain, instant death. Withdrawing his finger Aaron smiled. He knew how much force was necessary with one finger. Next up was using his index and middle finger. While Aaron waited for the eye to reset itself Aaron took several big breaths. He would go for the kill. When the left eye reformed Aaron took a step forward extending his two fingers and jabbing them forcefully through both eyes and bones. Aaron took in the feeling. It was a vicious attack but could come in handy one day.

Switching hands Aaron plunged his right hand into the still deformed eye making sure it was the same feeling. It was. Satisfied Aaron withdrew both hands feeling confident. The eyes reformed themselves but did not look quite the same as before. He may have pushed too hard. As he stared at the eyes, an idea popped into his head. He thought up a unique twist on the Eye Poke.

Releasing a bee, Aaron had a plan. Rather than use his index finger Aaron directed the bee to fly at full speed into the eye to see what physical damage would occur. Had the dummy been a real person upon impact the bee's poison would react instantly due to capillaries and nerves in the eye blinding it. The poison would then numb and slow the body. Aaron saw that the bee's stinger pierced the eye and flailed around. The flailing stinger caused even more damage. Recalling the bee Aaron looked to see a hole in the eye. A real person would most likely be unable to use that eye for a while and be in extreme pain. Combining bees with the techniques of Krav Maga would definitely give him an edge in battle.

Ear Strike
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: A strike to the ear with cupped hands can cause temporary deafness or rupture the eardrum and may cause a brain concussion.
Special: None
Drawback: Must be close to opponent
Description: The user strikes the ear with a cupped hands which causes varying effects due to the compression of air inside the ear.
Limit: None

The teacher returned to show Aaron a new move. "Now that you know the eye poke, try the ear strike." The sensei demonstrated it for Aaron. "Use a cupped hand to force air pressure into the ear. Keep practicing," he finished walking off. Aaron was alone again still in front of the same dummy. Looking at the ears they also seemed to look realistic.

The ear strike the teacher demonstrated did not appear to do any physical damage to the dummy's ear. Probably against a real person it would do damage but it was impossible to see it on a dummy. Willing to try anyway Aaron cupped his left hand by bending his fingers. His thumb rested on the outside rather than the inside of the cupped hand. Mimicking the teacher Aaron was a couple feet away from the dummy. Swinging his hips in a fluid motion Aaron put his entire body in the strike. His extended and cupped hand came down on top of the ear and covered it before sliding off.

Aaron understood why the hand was cupped. Forcing the trapped air into the ear, it would burst the eardrum and cause hearing problems maybe a concussion if he was lucky. There was no way to measure the impact but Aaron would keep practicing. Cupping his right hand like he did with his left Aaron swung using his entire bodies momentum. The cupped part of the hand slammed into and over the ear blowing a massive force of compressed air through it. After the attack Aaron had a realization. Calling forth a bee, he directed it to squeeze inside of the ear.

Cupping his right hand again, Aaron used the momentum of his swing to force the air through the right ear where the bee was. The bee flew backwards and further into the ear but it lived and could still fly. Aaron would use the bee to measure the impact. Aaron recalled the bee and summoned another to go into the left ear. It would be cruel but he was planning on inflicting the maximum force on the ear until the bee died. It was the only way to be sure that a concussion would result.

Cupping his left hand, Aaron bent his fingers an extra couple centimeters to see what affect it would have. In a wide sweeping motion using his shoulder and hips to add momentum Aaron hit the ear forcing compressed air back into it. The bee flew backwards barely alive. Since the bee was still alive Aaron would not let it die and thus recalled it back into him. Using a different bee Aaron would try again changing the shape of the cup slightly. The bee still lived as Aaron repeated the process over and over switching out the bees with a new one after each attack.

After his arm was exhausted and starting to get sore, Aaron took a breather to re-plan his strategy. He could come up with no ideas different than what he had already been doing so he called forth a new bee and had it fly into the right ear. Cupping his right hand to a different length than all the prior attempts Aaron wound his arm back and using his entire body's momentum cupped the ear. The force of compressed air killed the bee and almost caused the bee to get stuck. Aaron had finally succeeded. The attack would pretty much guarantee a concussion at that force. Approaching the dummy Aaron withdrew the bee, a necessary loss. Satisfied that he could perform it with his right hand Aaron knew he should have no trouble performing the ear strike with his left.

Without a bee Aaron cupped his left hand and swung his body blowing compressed air into the left ear as his hand covered it. Recalling his hand Aaron was breathing heavily. He had been swinging his arms and his body for over several hours. Exhausted, Aaron sat down next to the dummy.
