The Complete Beginner’s Guide to Krav Maga | BlackBeltAtHome

November 2, 2019 By MAO40 Staff

Krav Maga is a type of martial art as well as a philosophy, as it is primarily about serious, life-saving self defense. The three tenets for novices are awareness (of one’s environment and moment), becoming the attacker (to reverse negative situations), and making it real (through realistic training). Some of the basics include stances such as the guard stance and attacks such as elbowing, and some of the defenses include the 360 defense and front choke defense. As for materials and equipment, these can include boxing gloves, tombstones, and punching bags. Through a local school or online program, one can learn krav maga.

Key Takeaways:

  • In Krav Maga, a high level of awareness is your first line of defense.
  • Krav Maga attacks make use of straight punches, elbow hits and groin kicks.
  • Unlike other martial arts, Krav Maga has just one blocking concept, called 360 Blocking.

“you will learn the most important principles, basics, defenses, and even what equipment you’ll need.”
