“Hey Britt
Not sure if you saw this. It was posted on our info board today. I know that you are interested in starting Krav Maga as well and figured we could do this women’s self defense course together. I added a neat little video to this mail. Enjoy watching. That will be us in a couple of weeks, or months… or years 😉
Let me know what you think,

Women’s Self Defense Course

What is Krav Maga:
Krav Maga is a self-defense system developed for the military in Israel that consists of a wide combination of techniques sourced from Boxing, Combat Sambo, Muay Thai, Wing Chun, Judo, Jujutsu, Wrestling, Aikido and Grappling, along with realistic fight training. Krav Maga is known for its focus on real-world situations and extremely efficient and brutal counter-attacks. It was derived from street-fighting skills developed by Hungarian-Israeli martial artist Imi Lichtenfeld, who made use of his training as a boxer and wrestler as a means of defending the Jewish quarter against fascist groups in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia in the mid-to-late 1930s. In the late 1940s, following his immigration to Israel, he began to provide lessons on combat training to what was to become the IDF, who went on to develop the system that became known as Krav Maga. It has since been refined for civilian, police and military applications.
Krav Maga has a philosophy emphasizing threat neutralization, simultaneous defensive and offensive maneuvers, and aggression. Krav Maga is used by Israeli Defense Forces, both regular and special forces, and several closely related variations have been developed and adopted by law enforcement and intelligence organizations, Mossad and Shin Bet. There are several organizations teaching variations of Krav Maga internationally.”

I personally have trained in Krav Maga for a little over a year now, and I love it! I feel like such a badass. My brother is always telling me I should try JuiJitsu instead, because most fights end up on the ground (and because that’s what he trains in so automatically his is better)….he hasn’t been able to get me on the ground. LOL. It’s a great thing to learn even if you don’t continuously train for it, I feel it’s important for people to know how to fight for themselves, just in case.

I totally agree! My husband does Krav Maga and my little daughter started. It makes me feel good to know she takes up something that will be effective self defense one day. I see the point with the Juijitsu and it would definitely be a good combination. But I guess Krav gives you a great tool already. Thanks for your comment!

Wow. That was…intense. Made me look up Krav Maga classes in Scotland (thinking, nah, there’ll never be any) and what do you know, there’s a whole host of them!

Go do it. It is amazing! My husband was training with me a little while ago. I am just about 160cm and he is 186 and a strong guy. But I managed to get his grip off my neck and get him on his knees… good feeling 🙂 I mean… good feeling to know that I can do that to a guy his size if I need to 😉

That’s obviously what the good feeling is 😉 I have been looking around at classes to do this year. I had to postpone plans to join Capoeira and aerial silks (interesting combo, I know) largely because of university reasons, but this year I have no excuse. Watch this space 🙂

Oh! I always wanted to do Capoeira. Ever since I’ve seen it in Brazil years ago… But never found classes close by… One day…

I managed to stumble across videos about a year ago, and instantly fell in love. I always thought there must be a martial art that combines with music and/or dance, and what do you know, I found it. Would give me the chance to dust off some old break dance skills I have lurking in the shadows… 🙂
