Getting Stabbed With a Rubber Knife
We have a saying at Krav Maga Martial Arts that “it’s a good thing to get stabbed with a rubber knife all day long.”
All that means is that it’s good to train.
I like to say, “expect the best and prepare for the worst.”
This is to say that, God willing, you will never, ever need to defend yourself against a knife attack.
But being prepared to survive and thrive in any situation is an important part of what we do.
I thought you may enjoy this video today.
It’s my son teaching the slash defense- just one of many realistic self defense skills we teach, including defense versus stick, knife and gun as well as strikes, bear hugs, grabs and holds standing and from the ground, multiple attackers and more.
So, though I most often highlight the fitness, character and leadership development aspects of what we do, we do teach really practical self defense skills too.
Enjoy the video, and register for your 2 week orientation program so we can show you.
Prepare To Live; Empower To Lead!
