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.

The words Krav Maga are Hebrew words, which mean 'contact combat.' Just like it sounds, this is the art of defending yourself against physical, combative contact. With the right training, you can fend off an attacker, even a really aggressive one. This gives you time to get away, call the police and ensure that you survive the attack in one piece.

You could learn a wide variety of self-defense techniques and disciplines to help you in case of an attack. However, Krav Maga is one of the best. This is because the moves themselves are fairly easy to learn and master. It does not take long to become proficient, which means you are ready to defend faster. In the process, you will likely find yourself shedding some pounds and building muscle, too.

There are some people who think that you have to be a member of the military or a police officer in order to learn this technique. In reality, though many law enforcement agencies do send their officers to Krav Maga training, you do not have to be a cop in order to enroll in a class. Anyone of any skill or fitness level can sign up for a class.

In order to be successful in these classes, you just need to show up and be willing to learn. Then combine all the moves together and practice them so you perfect them. The moves will all be broken down by the instructors so you can learn them in an efficient manner.

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.

Ask if your locations offers a free trial class. Many will let you join a class for free so that you can see if it is to your liking before you pay or make a multiclass commitment. If you do like what you see, then you can make a schedule of classes that fits your needs and finally feel safe from predators.
