Centurion Krav Maga

If you missed our StrongHER event here are some of the takeaways to help keep you safe.

While in public:
-Keep hands free of purses, water bottles, etc whenever feasible
-If you are going running keep one ear free from any kind of headphone so that you can hear your surroundings
-Don’t be afraid to appear rude, use your voice when confronted
-Check your phone in the car with the doors locked, don’t have your head down while traveling

Lastly, come in and really train. Many of the women were surprised how hard it can be use verbals. Even in our training facility they reported feeling anxious and adrenalized during our final scenarios, which included wrist release techniques and how to defend being pinned against a wall.

Any time you end up in this position in a gun takeaway, meaning one hand on wrist, other hand on gun, and you have turned sideways to the attacker, you can try this little tweak to your takeaway.

I apologize for the audio, this was a candid shot that one of my instructors took and I didn’t have a microphone on. If you have any questions about the details ask me in the comments.

Trapping an attacker’s hand is a fundamental technique in self-defense, particularly in Krav Maga, and it significantly enhances personal safety in several ways:

1. Control of the Situation

• Reduced Threat: By trapping the attacker’s hand, you limit their ability to strike or use a weapon, reducing the immediate danger.

• Improved Positioning: This technique allows you to move into a more advantageous position, giving you control over the encounter.

2. Creating Opportunities

• Counter-Attacks: Once you have trapped the hand, you can follow up with strikes or escape maneuvers, turning the tables on the attacker.

• Time to Escape: Trapping the hand can create a momentary distraction, giving you the chance to flee or call for help.

3. Psychological Advantage

• Confidence Boost: Mastering this technique increases your confidence, making you less likely to panic in a threatening situation.

• Deterrence: A confident demeanor can deter potential attackers, as they may perceive you as a more formidable opponent.

4. Training and Awareness

• Improved Reflexes: Regular practice of trapping techniques enhances your reflexes and response time, crucial elements in self-defense scenarios.

• Situational Awareness: Training in these techniques fosters greater awareness of your surroundings, helping you identify potential threats before they escalate.

The first day of training was amazing. I will be posting more highlights but the Clinch Dirty Boxing taught by Dennis Cregier was one of my favorites. I also really loved the knife drills that Paulo Rubio introduced us to. This kind of event is truly unique!
