I'm talking about Krav Maga and specific techniques for women. This is a conversation that I get to, unfortunately, speak about too much. I feel that a lot of people, when they have this question, have misconceptions of the art of Krav Maga.

The art of Krav Maga is designed to give a weaker individual an edge on a larger individual, even if it is a surprise attack, even if it is a multiple scenario, and therefore it doesn't matter if you are a woman or a weaker individual. The idea of the art was that anybody can be as effective as a strong person.

I personally do not believe that anybody will walk out there and try to pick a fight with the largest, strongest individual. I believe that all of us, if we are going to be attacked, will be attacked by individuals who are much more powerful than us, and if you don't practice with that concept in mind, then you are not preparing for the worse case scenario.

Whether you are a woman or a man, you should always prepare for the worse case scenario. That is the only way to prepare for war. You obviously need to train this way and hope that it wouldn't be as bad, but whether you are a woman or a man, Krav Maga at it's core, is an art that answers for all sizes and shapes. No matter if you are a woman. No matter if you are a man. It doesn't matter if you have any physical limitations that you are going to have to work through and learn how to compensate for in order for you to be able to defend yourself effectively in a street environment.

Much respect for this gentleman for sharing his knowledge/expertise.

I am going to definitely try this, there is no way I am going to wait for a man to defend me.

That's for sure. I got attacked 3 months. Will not let it happen again.

Nice to see practical moves, instead of just rechurning boxing and punching exercises, which will not work.

Wouldn't it just be better to get one of those spring-activated James Bond guns, which pop out of your sleeve and you can quickly fire? I mean, seriously, if I was a big attacker, and snuck up on a would-be victim and they sudden had a gun spring out from thin air, I'd be like "Holy Shalom! A gun from thin air!" And then run off hoping a round doesn't land in my ass cheek. Plus this Krav Maga thing looks like it takes a lot of time to get good at. With a gun, all you have to do is pull.

You seem to think a shot to the crotch doesn't hurt women. Lol.
