Self-Defense techniques made easy

Dark streets, quiet neighborhoods, and unfamiliar parking garages can always make us nervous.

There are ways to protect yourself, Paul Garcia and Adam Wilson demonstrated techniques from the self-defense style Krav Maga.

“Krav Maga is the official hand to hand combat of the Israeli defense forces. It widely became popular because of what happened on September 11th, 2001. This is when America reached out to Isreal to come up with a plan to defeat terrorism,” said instructor Paul Garcia.

There are three simple principles that make Krav Maga effective.
1. Anyone can do it!
2. It is easy to do
3. Under stress, it is easy to recall

“These moves are clearly effective, if they weren’t effective then we wouldn’t be using them,” said Paul Garcia.

Many Krav Maga schools offer public service and many offer free self-defense seminars for woman.
