How Can Krav Maga Prepare You For A Street Attack

Street altercations and attacks are dangerous and can occur when there is nobody around to help you out. These situations can often lead to potentially fatal or crippling injuries. It is best to avoid walking through alleyways and empty streets at odd hours, but sometimes it is not possible. This is the reason it is better that you know some techniques for defending yourself in case of an attack. If you are looking for ways to prepare yourself, read on.

Preparing Yourself

It is true that you cannot predict when you might be attacked or get involved in a street altercation so you need to be ready to defend yourself. The basic human instinct dictates you either fight or flight in such situations as the adrenaline in your body is what determines your response. In any case, it is better to take off and avoid confrontation unless it is not an option.

Being prepared mentally and physically is a must. If you show any signs of fear or distress, there’s a good chance you’ll lose. When you are physically prepared, you can take on anyone who challenges you or attacks you on the street. That being said, staying alert can enable you to avoid potential attacks altogether.

Practice Krav Maga/Self-Defense

There is a lot of information on the internet you can follow for learning self-defense techniques in order to defend yourself. It would be wise if you actually consider joining a Martial Arts school to get proper training in order to improve your chances of successfully protecting yourself. Moreover, it is also a good idea to stay fit. Krav Maga training will get you in good shape and give you the necessary strength, energy and confidence to defend yourself in any situation.

A Great Stress Reliever

Besides learning how to defend off attackers one of the most important and perhaps the biggest benefit of Martial arts training is it provides you an outlet to get rid of the stress which builds up inside your body and mind. Practicing martial arts trains you to focus on yourself. Which in return helps build self-awareness.

As you can see, there are several compelling reasons why you should opt to learn Martial Arts like Krav Maga/Self-defense. That being said, all of them offer the same benefits equally.

Keeping these factors in mind, you will come to realize Self-Defense training can help your body and mind to function as one. Aside from learning how to defend off attackers, improving your fitness, you can motivate yourself to accomplish feats you might not have considered before.

It’s A New Year, What Krav Maga Can Do For You

People often wonder what benefits there are to learning Martial Arts. Learning Krav Maga is not only for Self-Defense, but also for personal aspiration too. Martial Arts, especially Krav Maga, strongly implements the idea of pursuing and achieving personal goals. Through the struggles of practice and studying Krav Maga, you can bring energy to yourself as well as others. There is a long road of discipline, training, and knowledge that needs to be absorbed before you can really be comfortable, but each class you take will get you that much closer.

Beyond just the shear comfort of personal security that you will develop for yourself, there is the ever-existing factor of the presence of other people. Krav Maga isn’t just to defend yourself, but also for your love ones too. Keep in mind, not everyone knows how to defend themselves, so stepping in to take action and saving someone you love from getting hurt, or worse, may be a situation that you will come across sometime in your life; luckily for you, you will be ready for it. In addition to saving other people and/or yourself, Krav Maga/Self-Defense training at its core is just a great way to exercise. For people that prefer more hands-on fitness training that require precision, strategy, and accuracy, Krav Maga is a fantastic way to let out some built up aggression all while learning how to defend yourself and get into great shape.

To get away from the physical benefits of Krav Maga and Self-Defense training, there is a very large emotional benefit to studying and learning Krav Maga. By enduring the long, challenging, but fun process of pursuing higher ranks in Krav Maga, you will develop a strong center of self-confidence knowing how much your mind and body are able to achieve. Krav Maga is for a wide variety of ages, physiques, and personalities, which makes it such a universal way to exercise, study, and improve ones overall mental and physical well being.

For these reasons and more learning Krav Maga/Self-Defense can benefit and extend far beyond physical training. It may be a new growth opportunity to help you reach your goals in class and beyond.

Staying Fighting Fit With Martial Arts

Looking to do something exciting to lose weight and stay fit? There is no better way than martial arts training like Krav Maga/Self-Defense, BJJ-Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Thai Kickboxing. Apart from self–defense, there are various other reasons you should consider it as a means to stay fit.

Weight Loss

Many trainers and fitness experts are incorporating several exercises and training techniques from martial arts. You will come across many trainers who make extensive use of kick pads or punching bags during their sessions. Martial arts training has been used for cardio workouts for some time, which in turn aid in weight loss. The techniques and workouts are high intensity and can last an hour or more. This means you will start burning calories in no time and is hence the most effective way to lose weight fast.

Fitness

Fitness has a lot to do with building muscle strength and flexibility. In the same fashion, martial arts incorporate drills and techniques which enhance endurance and cardiovascular fitness. It is the perfect method of improving your overall fitness as you will undergo a series of exercises that will train you to be resilient using your own body weight. Additionally, almost all styles include stretching exercises that enables you to improve your flexibility.

Coordination and Balance

The benefits of martial arts are not restricted to helping you become faster or stronger. Since you are taught different techniques, you will learn more about your limitations and how you can overcome them. The only way you can possibly master these techniques is by having superior body coordination and being well balanced. While you practice to master these techniques, you naturally train to improve your coordination and balance, which can help you in various other aspects of life.

Spirituality

Considering the fact that Martial Arts has been practiced for centuries, they can renew, heal and comfort you in times of distress. In other words, learning martial arts is spiritually uplifting, it allows you to achieve a better connection between your mind and body. If your mind is at peace, you will be able to function effectively during training routines. Furthermore, it allows you to transcend to a new level where you will find it easier to connect with others and the world around you.

A Great Stress Reliever

One of the most important and perhaps the biggest benefit of Martial arts training is it provides you an outlet to get rid of the stress which builds up inside your body and mind. Practicing martial arts trains you to focus on yourself.

As you can see, there are several compelling reasons why you should opt to learn Martial Arts like Krav Maga/Self-Defense, BJJ-Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Thai Kickboxing. That being said, all of them offer the same benefits equally.

Keeping these factors in mind, you will come to realize martial arts train your body and mind to function as one. Aside from losing weight and improving your fitness, you can motivate yourself to accomplish feats you might not have considered before.

5 Reasons Your Child Should Train In Martial Arts This Summer

Summer is almost here! All of us are looking forward to lots of daylight, warmer weather, and of course trips to the beach. Wouldn’t it be comforting to know your child will be safe and independent this summer? Here are 5 reasons why Martial Arts will help your child to feel capable and self-assured this summer.

1. Self-Defense

Your child will feel empowered by learning self-defense techniques and strategies during their martial arts training. Self-defense is a need for kids that they wont learn anywhere else. Learning Martial Arts will help the build confidence in their ability to handle themselves if necessary.

2. Bully Proof

Just having the confidence to know they can handle a situation can make all the difference in the world. We often tell our children to stick up for themselves if someone is bulling them. However, if kids don’t have the confidence in their physical ability then they wont feel comfortable speaking up for themselves. Martial Arts will Bully Proof your child.

3. Increase Self-Esteem

Martial Arts instill confidence and self esteem in its students. Learning how to master a punch can make a child feel more capable in their physical abilities. The increase in self-esteem leads students to feeling more confident in taking on new challenges.

4. Exposure to diversity

Participating in a Martial Arts Program this summer will give your child an opportunity to meet other children that they wouldn’t normally meet. Through interactions with new people your child will learn that the world is a big place with lots of people that do different things than they do.

5. New Friendships

Often children will continue Martial Arts long after the summer is over. The relationships made through a martial arts program are positive lasting friendships.

Helping your child to establish lasting friendships, confidence, and assertiveness will benefit them when they doing things on their own. The skills they learn will help them in all aspects of life for years to come. In the long run enrolling your child in a Martial Arts Summer Camp will benefit your child for their lifetime.

New Year Resolution Solution

The start of the new year brings the inevitable New Year’s resolution followed often by the abandonment of the resolution. While most start out on waves of positivity, the challenges brought by reality can become difficult to overcome. If you are miserable, bored, or not reaching your goals there is little to keep you motivated to continue. Choosing the right activity and support for your resolution can be the difference between success and starting again in 2018.

Beginning Martial Arts like Thai Kickboxing, Krav Maga, or (BJJ) Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not a common choice, but it can help you reach many of your fitness resolutions…

FITNESS AND CONDITIONING

Martial Arts training, like Thai Kickboxing, Krav Maga, and (BJJ) Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, can provide full body conditioning and it doesn’t matter if you are an athlete, workout novice, or recovering couch potato. Punches and kicks not only work arms and legs but also require a lot of work from the abdominal and back muscles so you’ll get full body workouts in every class. Training also involves mixed periods of high and low intensity workout which is a great way to improve endurance and burn calories.

The nature of this training also allows you to work at your desired intensity level, instead of keeping up with the class. You set your pace and push yourself as you feel ready. At the same time athletes will find routines that challenge their current Fitness levels and skills. The nature of Martial Arts training also means that your workouts will vary from class to class keeping you regularly challenged.

CHALLENGES

Without challenges, there is no growth, and without growth it is easy to become bored. Martial Arts can provide both physical and mental growth. Even those who have trained for years continue to grow, adapt, and learn.

Learning and applying new skills is a constant physical challenge throughout martial arts training. Martial Arts training also requires persistence and a willingness to face obstacles. Reengaging and committing to your training helps develop a mental toughness that carries into everyday life. And, yes, mental toughness comes in handy when you are trying to stick to your resolution.

CONFIDENCE

Most believe confidence from Martial Arts comes from knowing physical skills or how to fight. It is true that learning an art, progressing in your skills, and reaching goals can give you a confidence boost. Learning Self-Defense techniques, like Krav Maga, will also naturally make you feel more confident out in the real world. However, confidence also develops from understanding your limitations and learning how to handle yourself in difficult situations. When you know what your limitations may be, it gives you the confidence to approach challenges head on inside or outside of the Martial Arts school.

PROGRESSION

Standing still is boring and not motivational. By its nature martial arts is about constantly growing and improving your skills through training and interacting with a variety of fellow students and coaches. A martial art program that includes belt levels can also help you set smaller goals to help you focus through training. Both those who have trained for a few months and those who have trained for several years will have paths for growth and new challenges, a lifetime of training opportunities.

All resolutions start with one step, visit a Martial Arts school to see how it can help you reach your resolution goals.
