Krav Maga Oklahoma Lessons For Self Defense

By Margaret Cook


You never plan on being alone in a dim or unlit parking lot late at night, but sometimes it happens. All the stories about people being attacked and mugged or worse might come into your head. Unfortunately, these are more than just stories. Assaults really do happen, but you do not have to just accept this fact. You can learn to defend yourself using Krav Maga Oklahoma classes and instructors.

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.

Many places train their police officers in this type of combat. Even some armies learn it, especially the Israeli army. In fact, it is a part of their basic training, so everyone gets the chance to master this technique. Luckily, you do not have to be enrolled in the military or a law enforcement training program to learn. Anyone can join a class.

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.

Many instructors also teach Krav Maga as a mindset, not just techniques and moves. The reason is that in an attack situation, your nerves and anxiousness will make you 50 percent less likely to remember what you have learned. But with the right mindset, you can remember everything and fight off your attacker.

Most communities have one or more gyms or fitness clubs that will offer you Krav Maga classes. These are usually public and cost an additional fee, even if you already have a gym membership. Though group classes are great for meeting new people and learning together, you may prefer to have a private, one-on-one class. Ask your instructor if that is possible. Either way, you can sign up for one class or a series of classes multiple times per week.

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.
