Most of the techniques in Krav Maga focus on getting to maximum level violence as soon as possible. If someone is trying to take your like, you can’t half-ass your response. However we do have “soft” techniques, like wrist releases, that deal with situations where you’re getting unwanted attention and contact but smashing your shin through someone’s pelvis isn’t the correct response. Those also allow us to have some fun drill besides “close your eyes and freak out quietly until someone attacks you, then freak out aggressively.”
