Defend Yourself With Krav Maga Oklahoma

By Margaret Cook


Even with the best-laid plans, you may on some occasion find yourself alone in a dark place late at night. If someone attacks you, there may not be anyone around to help you fend them off. That means it is completely up to you to fend them off on your own. Unless you have some proper self-defense training, you may not be able to do it. That is why you should sign up for Krav Maga Oklahoma classes.

Krav Maga is actually Hebrew, meaning 'contact combat' because that is essentially what it is at its core. It is a set of very practical self-defense moves that are meant to help you fend off aggressive attacks so that you can down your attacker and run for safety. The moves are simple and aggressive to help you survive threats and attacks.

There are plenty of self-defense techniques out there, but this is one of the best. The reason is that since the attacks are simple, you can learn a lot in a very short span of time. This is not something that takes years to master, so you can see results very quickly and defend yourself almost right away. Also, the process of learning is a great workout, so you will lose weight and build muscle.

This discipline is often taught to military and law enforcement personnel. In fact in Israel, where it was invented, it is taught to all military personnel as part of their basic training. Fortunately, you do not have to be a soldier or a cop to learn it. In fact, you don't need to have any formal martial arts training at all to learn. All fitness levels can join as well.

There is no need to be in shape or get in shape to take these classes. Just show up and be ready and willing to work. The instructors know how to break things down to make them easy for all proficiency levels, so you will pick things up quickly and easily.

There is a good chance that your instructor will at some point focus on the mindset you need for Krav Maga. Statistics have proven that the nerves and fear associated with being attacked make you around 50 percent less likely to remember the moves you learned. But if you get into the right mindset, you will recall things easier.

Check your local fitness clubs or gyms to see which ones offer Krav Maga classes. Many offer them for additional fees, though some may be included in your membership if you have one. These are generally open to all members, so there are multiple people to learn with. However, if you think you would learn better or faster with one-on-one sessions, then inquire about private classes instead. You can choose from weekly or more frequent sessions.

Some gyms will offer you a free trial class to start. This means they waive the usual fee so you can try a class without any pressure and make sure it is right for you. If you decide you do like the class, you can then sign up for additional classes and be on your way to protecting yourself from potential harm.
