Civilians Krav Maga

As civilians, we do not possess the authority to take control of a harmful situation, be it a violent person or a person baring arms with criminal intent. A civilian’s goal in any violent situation is to not be in harm’s way.

Krav Maga gives us solutions to a variety of scenarios in which we are required to exercise a certain amount of strength to protect ourselves or our loved ones.

A basic principle of self defense is that first and foremost – we need to protect ourselves. Thus, when dealing with a violent person, our main objective is to avoid getting hurt. Our acquired knowledge, as well as the damage inflicted upon our attacker, will be applied in direct correlation to the nature of the attack. Remaining in a defensive state will NOT convince our attacker to stop, and so we must respond in an aggressive manner to neutralize the threat. We will need to know how to use various objects to defend ourselves with, if such objects that are within reach.

Highly skilled martial artists and Krav Maga martial artists are very rarely violent people and usually avoid fights as often as humanly possible. This fact alone proves that the knowledge acquired through Krav Maga training helps you stay alert and avoid dangerous situations simply by knowing to identify them and avoid them before they turn into danger.
