Petr Hlaváč teaches people how to defend themselves on the street, including against knives and machetes. Despite the hard and uncompromising techniques he demonstrates, he repeatedly emphasizes discipline rather than aggression.
Hlaváč’s Krav Maga Seal System has also been adopted by trainers in Florida, the Bahamas, and Egypt. He has achieved what the article describes as major success internationally while continuing to present avoidance as the first line of defense.
His central lesson is simple: the best fight is the one that never happens.
