Krav Maga - Back Position/Back Position with Movement on the Ground (Correct Leg Positioning)

This video goes over correct leg positioning for the Back Position and Back Positing with Movement on the Ground (Level 1 techniques).

Incorrect leg positioning is the most common mistake for beginners while performing these two technique. This video addresses six problems that will come up, three for each leg, if the legs are not in the correct position:

1. Attacker grabs your kicking leg.
2. Lack of power with your Front Kick from the Ground (Level 1).
3. Not protecting the torso from strikes or preventing Knee on Belly position (Level 3).
4. Attacker grabbing the ankle of your bottom leg.
5. Trouble pivoting on the low back when moving.
6. Not protecting your groin from attacker's kicks or stomps.

This video demonstrates and explains each of these problems that may come up and how correct leg positioning prevents all of them.

The videos on this YouTube channel are NOT a replacement for actual instruction. They do not teach techniques, but instead isolate and fix problems within the technique or its individual components. The videos are designed to help the student who has already learned the technique under the instruction of a qualified instructor.

Important Note: These videos are specific to the techniques and curriculum taught to the students at our facility. Students from other Krav Maga schools and organizations are more than welcome to watch and use these videos and we hope they find them useful! However, variations may be taught that are different from the techniques taught at other Krav Maga locations. This doesn't mean one variation is wrong or the other is right. They are just variations...plain and simple. The most important question for any technique or defense should be this: Does it work for the individual who is performing it? As long as it does, then the technique or variation has merit, regardless of where it comes from! That's the number one principle that we emphasize at our school.
