Hey Warrior, . It was a typical Weekday morning. I was sipping my coffee – waiting at the bus stop with my kids.

Reacting without thinking, I scooped him up just as the bus…

Hey Sheepdog,This week, let’s talk about something that always sparks debate……Is Krav Maga actually useful in a real fight?There’s a lot of noise when it comes to martial arts.

Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense training deals with real world threats like attackers armed with handguns. 💯 Krav Maga weapons defenses use instinctive movements to defend and counterattack simultaneously, and stress graining control of a weapon before attempting to take it away. 💪🏻 Drilling on these techniques is intense at times but it’s training with us that will make the difference…

Krav Maga System Principle: Deal with Secondary Dangers That May Exist Within an Attack. . “So, not only do we need to deal with wants in front of us.

Krav Maga: The Roots Of The System

Why It’s Never Too Late To Start Training It’s NEVER too late to get better and at no point do any of us know everything. Training is for everyone at whatever life stage you’re at and background you come from.

Krav Maga System Principle: Defend and Counterattack Simultaneously (or as soon as possible). . When and if possible, delivery your counterattacks simultaneous to your defense.

Quick interview I had with CanvasRebel Magazine. https://canvasrebel.com/meet-randall-koch/

Krav Maga System Principle: Utilize the Body’s Natural Instincts . Why? Why is that important? . Because we know that under stress, when you’re fearful, when you’re adrenalized, that your body is going to resort to what it’s instinct is. . And if we design a technique that’s close to your body’s instinct, that’s what’s likely to come out of…

Defend and counterattack simultaneously. Turn the tide of the encounter in your favor. Fight back. Win. Go home safe. 💪🏻 Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense training uses instinctive movements that stress simultaneous defense and counterattack. We train to defend ourselves, not to initiate a fight or assault, so turning the encounter in our favor and getting away are the highest priorities.…

The Krav Maga Subway Survival Guide

Identify and Eliminate the Immediate Danger. . So, when considering a technique, we’re always looking at what is the immediate danger in this technique and we build our defenses off of that first. . So, for example, if someone is choking you, the immediate danger is the thumbs on the choke. If someone has a gun to your head, what’s…
