What you see reflects your thinking.

When an unusual situation arises, it is easy to get tunnel vision and focus on one person or one thing that you see happening. Try not to panic, look around, and be aware of everything that is going on around you. What caught your attention first may only be a distraction from the real threat thatis about to happen. Remove yourself from the area whenever possible, otherwise be prepared to fight for your life.

Women's Self Defense Seminar

Did you know that you have a greater chance of becoming the victim of a violent crime than getting injured in an auto accident?
  • Every year, more than 2.5 million women experience a violent encounter
  • Half of all rapes and sexual assaults are committed by friends or acquaintances. Many encounters occur in your own home.
This needs to stop, and the Krav Maga Official Training Center is ready to help with a Women's Only Self-Defense Awareness Seminar.

The Seminar is designed to train participants with simulated exercises that include the psychological and physical aspects of a real attack or sexual assault. Participants will learn environmental awareness as well as many defenses, both verbal and physical, that can be used when most needed in a confrontation.

This women's only seminar is a lot of fun, a terrific workout, and is a must for any woman.

Women of all fitness levels, and at least 13 years old are welcome.

Saturday and Sunday, May 13th and 14th

Integrated Training - Strength Training plus Level 1 or Level 2 Training

In the first segment, I discussed how to integrate strength training and martial arts in general. In this segment, I make recommendations on which body parts to train when, and how to incorporate this into your Level 1 or Level 2 training.

Here are two suggested routines: one for taking Krav Maga classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and another one for taking classes on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. The most important time to rest is the day after a hard leg workout. If you must do something the day after that, do yoga! Make sure your strength training sets include a wide variety of repetition ranges. Do some sets at 20 reps or more for warm up and muscular endurance as well as doing the strength training range of 6 to 10. Never compromise your posture or safety of the affected muscles and joints in the body while weight lifting.

It is also a good idea to change your weightlifting routine every few months, whether it is swapping out exercises or even departing completely from it briefly for some less abusive work like swimming, hiking, or cycling.

You can also substitute any of the weight training workouts with a TRX Strength Training session or a KM Conditioning class. If you are feeling over-trained, take a day off or substite with Yoga depending on how sore you may feel. If any of you have questions, ideas or comments on the suggested training please feel free to e-mail me. I know many of you have a variety of training experiences, and possibly other concerns such as injuries or working on specfic areas. Use this information as a jump off point. We are always trying to better understand the needs of our students and how to accomodate as many of your health and personal safety concerns as possible. Next month I'll suggest a couple routines to integrate Krav Maga training and conditioning.
