Krav Maga TamilNadu - Self Defense Fitness Courses

Yesterday a new lady student said " Till recently I couldn't imagine me hitting anyone. It took lots of incidents to push me to a decision and come to the KravMaga class." I have heard this " I cant imagine me hitting anyone" before in corporate workshops for women and once even from an ace shuttle champ who was a tall and strong woman.

Passion backed up with Dedication!  That sets apart the champion from others. They dedicate time for practice, time for introspection and time for learning; more than their peers. FOCUS Fame is heady. Especially in the glamour world of Indian c...

KravMaga close combat for Police   The concerns to be taken into consideration when training police in close combat are – CONCERN 1 - Police can't use force disproportionate to the threat and risk being censured by human rights activists and media . The techniques taught to field patrol officers should NOT involve hitting of vital parts KravMaga teaches hitting VULNERABLE parts & NOT VITAL parts The focus should be on DISARMING, cutting his MOBILITY and CONTROL of the aggressor.

Emphasize personal safety of the policeman – (ex) long weapon > go short; short weapon >> go long Teach criminal escorting holds CONCERN 3 - While civilian training is more on self defense, training to police has to give importance to pro-active intervention in a violent situation. Teach interven...
