🥋🚨 Self Defense is NOT Sport Fighting — Here’s Why That Matters

Most people think fighting in the street is just like the cage. It’s not. Here's why real-world self defense requires a totally different mindset:

🔺 1. Unequal Initiative - You don’t choose when the fight starts—they do. You’re reacting to a surprise attack, not prepping for a scheduled match.

🔺 2. Multiple Attackers - You won’t face just one person. It could be 2, 3, even more. Awareness, footwork, and smart tactics become critical.

🔺 3. Unequal Armament - Weapons change everything. Knives, guns, pipes—these aren't allowed in the ring, but they’re real threats on the street.

It’s a common trait for each generation to criticize the next. However, I have some incredible young men with savage work ethics. Mark is one of them. He joined our gym about two years ago, and I can’t recall a single week where he didn’t show up and train. He was consistently present for almost every class, a total of 3 hours every evening. His dedication and discipline paid off when he won silver in a local grappling competition.

Mark has earned the respect of every adult he works with, regardless of their age. Unfortunately, his time with us is coming to an end as he’s joining the US Army. It’s always a little sad to witness such talented young men leave, but I believe that the army will provide him with the mentorship and guidance he needs to become a well-rounded individual.

Mark is a formidable warrior with savage calm and composed demeanor, coupled with an unstoppable work ethic. The army is fortunate to have him as part of its ranks.

Haply Holidays from your friends over at Katalyst! Enjoy your time off and be ready to get back in the gym at full force. Cheers and Merry Christmas! 🎅🎁🎄

Heres to a happy Thanksgiving from myself and everyone here at the Katalyst Krav Maga team! 🦃

It's that be kinda morning! *t

Great time with , , for Knife Control Concepts level 1. Great instruction and pace I definitely learned a thing or two from their instruction as long as style.

It's just that simple. 💪

Don't buy into the art you teach don't drink the kool-aid. Your Art is not the answer it might have some answers but all martial arts have blind spots. Step out of your zone, don't just train in your art. The more experiences you have the better you get.

Just a couple dudes having fun on a Saturday! The feeling of a cup pushing into your lower back is always a good start grappling match.
