Krav Maga

I just signed up for a Krav Maga self defense course for women
so during two Sundays I will learn how to defend myself agains
attacks with or without weapons. I am not an advocate of violence
and no, I am not ultra scared when I go on my morning runs and the streets
are deserted.

But sometimes there is that little feeling of being a bit
uncomfortable or a little uneasy. Also I think it is important to try
new ways of training and exploring all types of sports you like.
If your training becomes to monotone there is a risk of injury or
wear down of the joints.

From talking to some guys at work Krav Maga is known to be very
violent and aggressive. But it is a defense technique and I think if
someone attacks another person they should be
prepared to face some kind of resistance.

What have you guys heard of Krav Maga? What do you think of
womens self defense classes?

Lots of love
