Everyone is more or less at risk of experiencing violence during their life. This is especially true for minorities, and as leftists in today’s political climate. The risk of violence will undoubtedly increase as political climates change, so we must be ready to defend ourselves, our comrades, our family and friends, and our communities.
I practise Krav Maga (I know) and have a limited background in wrestling, Karate, and Judo. It would be great to hear everyone’s thoughts on strategies and tactics for self-defence so we can help each other become more prepared to face violent situations.
If there’s enough interest in the topic I think it would be a good idea to start a community for self-defence.
Hmm, thats interesting! I’ve thought about Krav Maga but haven’t had a chance to learn or practice it. I’ve mostly been focusing on a SAMBO/Judo/Jiujitsu style unarmed CQC, and a separate US Marine based armed CQC, as it incorporates fixed bayonets, knives, firearms, and fighting armored opponents.
I’d also be happy to throw in my two cents and help any way I can with the community!
If you have a good instructor I would definitely say give it a try because it incorporates practising almost everything you’re training. I haven’t practised fighting armoured opponents in my class though. Your input would certainly be welcomed thank you!
