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.

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.

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.

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.

All you need is the desire to learn some basic moves and learn how to put them together in combat situations. Anyone can understand it, especially since your instructors break each move down for you so that you can use it in real life situations, should they arise.

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.

There are many local studios and gyms that can get you started on your path to learning and eventually mastering Krav Maga. They usually have classes with other people, some large and some small. However, if you would prefer a private class, many instructors are willing to have a one-on-one session for an extra fee. The amount of classes per week depends upon your schedule. Many are once or twice a week, possibly more.

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.
