Self defense is a very important thing to learn because you never know when you might need it. In many cases people never need to use their skills for violence but in the case where it is called for would you be prepared and know what to do? If not you need to watch these videos. Krav Maga, the Israeli form of hand to hand combat, is a very offensive style that takes your assailant by surprise and creates a separation between you.

Our expert will demonstrate how to get away from many different types of holds, including hair grabs, headlocks, wrist grabs, and grabs from behind.

Video Transcript

"I’m an instructor at Fit and Fearless Krav Maga here in Austin. Marissa is one of our students and she has been training with us for about a year now. Today, one of the things I wanted to do in coming with these women's self defense tactics and scenarios is, I wanted to use a student and really not an instructor, because I want you, the viewer to be able to see that these are tactics that you can actually achieve on your own with some training. If you can, just keep in mind also that Marissa has been training with us for a year, and you will see that with the self defense tactics and the different scenarios we are going to be using today, that these are definitely situations that you can actually try to overcome as well, with some training. You can actually reach us at www.fitandfearless.com. Thank you very much."
