Reasons to take Krav Maga
Tags: Praxis, Krav Maga, Safety

With all of these fun holidays around the corner, you know that there is tons of food involved. Yummy turkey and warm mashed potatoes or maybe a cookie for Santa? All kinds of deliciousness but once it’s the beginning of the year have you thought about a New Year’s resolution?

I know many people set a new year’s resolution to burn off all that turkey but what if working out isn’t really your thing? I know personally, I always set a goal to get in the gym and work on an “ideal body” and I usually stick to it for a few months but recently I found an excellent company to help you burn the fat while still having a good time.

It’s called Krav Maga, It’s a military self-defense and fighting system. It’s a workout that could save your life! In Krav Maga, they teach you combative moves that you can use if you are ever in danger. It’s a mechanism that is used by the FBI and SWAT teams as well as high-end gyms used for workouts. I know that a few gyms have classes that teach this mechanism but the company I went to only taught Krav Maga.I did Krav Maga for about 6 months and it changed the way I viewed working out! It was fun and fast-paced and the teacher always encouraged us while doing the workouts. The instructor pushed us to our limits and showed us many ways to defend ourselves.

This workout- brings the bada** out of you!

Seriously! After an hour session, you will feel like you can take on the world! I originally took this class because being a young woman in a big city I wanted to learn a couple of self-defense mechanisms just in case I was ever in a bad situation. I learned so much in the short period of time I did this workout and I strongly suggest you take a class! Most Krav Maga companies offer the first class free so this gives a chance to people to try it out and see if it’s for them. I have provided a link down below so you can checkout this company and see if there is one in your location!

Working out can sometimes be a drag

I know I struggle with pushing myself when I just go to a basic gym. Unless you invest in a personal trainer it’s easy to take frequent breaks or to not push yourself to the limit. This is not the case in Krav!

Your trainer will make sure you feel the burn!

To build muscle you’re supposed to feel that “burn” if you’re not pushing those muscles you will not build stronger muscles. In Krav, there is no way you can’t feel the burn! You don’t just focus on one part of your body but the whole body gets a full workout. You work your leg muscles through kicking and running and you work your upper body by throwing punches and lifting weights.

This company will help you build the confidence you need! After working with this company and going to a class twice a week I became way more confident in myself. I felt overall safer and more aware of my surroundings.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where kidnapping and sex trafficking is real! Taking precautions and learning ways to keep yourself safe while exercising is the best way to commit to a New Years’ resolution. There are plenty of ways to burn calories but signing up for Krav is more than that! This workout could save your life!

Not only did I build confidence in myself, learn techniques, and meet my personal body goals but I made a lifelong friend. I met some amazing people throughout this program. I became super close to a girl named Vira. She had done Krav for 3 years and helped me build confidence in myself by complimenting me and giving me encouraging advice. Even though I no longer workout at Krav because my schedule is too packed I plan to commit some of my time this following year to get back into the program. I will always recommend Krav Maga to anyone looking for a fun workout because this company helped me meet my body goals and they can help you too!
