Krav Maga is a bit of a strange beast. I personally don't like any martial art that teaches you to disarm guns, because in all reality it's very silly.

An example is in Costa Rica we had a guy who's trained a lot in Krav, and he insisted and showing various techniques. One day he asked me to "hold your fingers like a gun and put them to my head". I obliged and he did a pretty slick and pretty quick disarm technique. When I asked to start again but this time I just took 2 steps backwards in to a modified weaver stance before pretending to point my fake gun, he just stood there staring at me. Nothing he could do, and he knew it.

Personally, I would look in to some Judo. It's loaded with tradition and it's a really usable, effecient art. If you can throw somebody hard, it takes all the fight out of them right on the spot nine times out of ten.

Just my two cents.
