• No artificial movements: The focus is on simplicity and directness.
• Anatomical principles of natural movement: Techniques are based on the way the human body instinctively reacts and moves. This makes them quick to learn and highly effective under stress.
Understands and plays with an attacker's mindset: This goes beyond just physical techniques. It teaches you situational awareness and anticipating your opponent's intentions, which is often the most crucial step in self-defense (de-escalation or evasion).
• Learns to understand the dynamics of a fight: This is the key to handling stress.
• Sufficient cognitive space for the right decisions: By understanding the combat dynamics and using simple, effective techniques, you save brain capacity to make rational choices and avoid falling into a 'legal trap'.
If you take the headlines in the media for granted, then we find ourselves in a zeitgeist of a decreasing willingness to use violence: 'The (violent) crime has increased sharply, the streets have become dangerous.' We share this view not quite. Statistics show a decrease in the number of incidents. What is worrying is that the amount and severity of the injury inflicted is increasing.
So safety is very relative. A nosebleed is very annoying but - according to statistics - you are less likely to get it. The problem is - despite the decrease in the number of violent incidents - that the seriousness of the violence has increased sharply, resulting in terrible injuries. It is not uncommon for people to die or become disabled after street violence. But still: we can assume that we live in a country where the safety of everyone is generally guaranteed.
So what is the need for a self-defense system like the Krav Maga Hybrid System? That need arises automatically. If you unexpectedly end up in a bad weather situation, no statistics can be of service to you. If it hits you in a place that is - statistically - 99.9% safe, then you are still 100% in misery. You are then the so-called exception to the rule. You will now have to solve it on your own….
Several things can be achieved by learning this self-defense system: (1) You learn the (im)possibilities to resist aggressiveness. That knowledge boosts self-confidence. (2) You no longer feel so helpless, would you end up in an unpleasant situation. Through training you develop a feeling to sense aggressive situations in time, so that you can avoid them. (3) Due to the specific way in which Krav Maga Hybrid is trained, you learn to analyze situations at lightning speed, to assess their value and to make the right decisions. And that doesn't only apply to violent confrontations, you also see through situations much faster in everyday life.
So you could conclude that Krav Maga Hybrid training increases the quality of life!
Getting started with martial arts or self-defense?
When given a choice between martial arts or self-defense, say Krav Maga Hybrid, it seems the same to most people.
That is not the case. Read on and discover briefly what the differences are.
Martial arts as a sport.
The well-known martial arts are judo, karate, aikido, jujitsu, mma, muay thai and (kick) boxing. Each with different styles.
Can't martial arts techniques be used to defend yourself? Yes, you can apply some techniques well. The built-up fighting mentality and resilience is also a plus, which is also an important part of self-defense. In these martial arts, predetermined rules and agreements have been made. There is a controlled environment. The mat, octagon or ring. You have one clear opponent, of equal size. It is competitive. Full or semi contact. Of course there are differences in rules or restrictive techniques per martial art, also known as martial arts. At the end of the game you win or lose.
You are the best in your weight class or martial arts.
There's nothing to gain...
There are no rules or conventions in self-defense. The attack/threat takes place outside the training room (dojo), in an unfamiliar environment or situation. Often with multiple opponents and sometimes changing weapon use. There is no scoring. No graceful martial arts or referee involved. There's nothing to gain. You are chosen as a victim. It's not a game that ends after a few minutes, rounds or (technically) knockout. Weight, age and level do not matter.
Defense system
The above martial arts cannot be called self-defense due to rules and competition. The mindset and mentality is trained differently in self-defense. Attackers need to be proportionally “killed” as quickly as possible. Without using excessive force. If there is no other option, use violence (severe weather, Article 41, WvS) to immediately bring yourself - or others - to safety. In addition, as a professional you still have to deal with professional attitudes (think of the police, supervisors or security guards).
Krav Maga Hybrid teaches you to use this, along with punching and kicking techniques that are also used in martial arts. You are prepared for all possible situations.
What do you prefer
Krav Maga Hybrid and martial arts in general make for one of the best fitness workouts. In addition, it will strengthen your physical and mental self-confidence. You can take into account three distinguishing features. If you'd like to get started and aren't sure what to do with, take a look at the following:
a• Easy to learn, functionally train and effectively apply techniques.
b• Only competitive training for competitions (scoring).
c• Mastering martial arts and perfecting style at the performance level.
Choose self-defense (Krav Maga Hybrid) if choice number a• appeals to you the most. If your preference is b• and or c•, choose one of the martial arts.
Of course you can always combine.
