An awesome workout for anyone, no matter what your current level of fitness is. There's always something new to learn, and that keeps it exciting. I've had a tendency to get bored with other workouts, and that's not an issue here because of how the training works. I think that the best aspect of krav is the level of realism; like he says in the video, its not about meditation, its about really learning to fight. Other martial arts I've tried don't compare at all to what you learn in krav, because you learn so much in the first class, and especially the first month you go. But really the main difference I see between krav and other martial arts is that it truly prepares you for a real fight scenario, where you're adrenaline is pumping, you're completely exhausted, and you've got someone coming at you that you need to defend yourself against. Tae kwon do doesn't do that. If that sort of thing is at all appealing to you, you should definitely give krav a try (the instructors will let you come in and try or just watch a class for free). At the very least you'll get a great workout and learn something new.
