What is Krav Maga Self-Defense?

What is Krav Maga Self-Defense?

If you’re interested in a practical form of self-defense, Krav Maga is a great choice for you. This is a self-defense system developed by Israeli military and police for individual self-defense. The methods are quick and practical.

Krav Maga is often used by US military forces as well as law enforcement personnel because of its effectiveness. It combines various martial arts with practical methods to form a no-nonsense approach to fighting off an attacker.

This isn’t a competitive martial art, rather it’s a system of defending yourself so that you can get away from an attacker and be safe. One of its hallmarks is its practicality. If you study Krav Maga you’ll be taught how to handle real life situations.

It’s not uncommon for a self-defense class to be taught in a real world environment such as a parking lot or a shopping mall. This helps you to take what you’re learning in a classroom environment and apply it to a real world situation.

Being able to defend yourself will help you to have more confidence in all areas of your life. You’ll be able to avoid dangerous situations in many cases and confront those that you can’t avoid.

You’ll also be taught to use your body’s natural movements to defend yourself rather than fighting your true nature with specific strategies that are unnatural. With Krav Maga, the objective is to not get hurt if possible.

You’ll learn many strategies for de-escalating a situation before it becomes violent. But if the situation does escalate, you’ll learn how to respond. With this technique you’ll learn the most vulnerable targets that will get fast results and allow you to escape.

Krav Maga has been developed so that in a relatively short period of time you can become competent in its methods.

That’s one of the reasons it’s such a favorite with law enforcement personnel. It won’t take long for you to feel that you can use these techniques in your own life if needed.

The purpose of Krav Maga isn’t to have a long, drawn out battle with someone else. It’s designed to quickly disarm your opponent and allow you the chance to get away. You’re considered successful if you were able to get to safety regardless of the condition of your attacker.

Training in Krav Maga is essential to understand proper technique and strategies. Choosing a certified instructor is necessary for you to get the best possible training. Look for one in your area so that you can begin your road to self-defense.

When we want to teach our loved ones to be safe, we must decide how aggressive we want our young people to be. Do we want them to do WHATEVER it takes to get away, or are there limits on how far we want them to go. Do they have your permission to take out an eye it that is what it take to safely escape from someone attempting to harm them.

This is an area that many parents need to think about and discuss with their loved ones.

Another way to begin the discussion is the Functional Safety Awareness program offered by Safe Kidz Now! This program provides parents and other concerned adults with the information they need to effectively and in a very non threatening manner, discuss and teach their loved ones how to be safe in an increasingly unsafe world.
