The beginner krav maga classes I’ve been to were a joke. Lots of false confidence, little useful stuff against an assailant who wants to do you harm. It probably gets better in more advanced classes. Haven’t been in a dead alley situation luckily, but I would probably try to distract the person (like by throwing my wallet) and run away past them. Based on my experience in the boxing ring, untrained fighters get very confused when you rush them … but it’s a high risk strategy if they have a knife. Perhaps the most real-world useful thing I learned in boxing is how to take a punch without flinching. Hope I never get to use it irl :)
