KRAV MAGA CREATES RESILIENCE

divider-xx

Krav Maga is not Karate, and is not a traditional martial art.

Based on simple principles and instinctive movements, Kore focuses on a reality-based system designed to teach street-tested self defense in the shortest amount of time possible.

Learn to defend against common chokes, grabs, and bear hugs, as well as weapons such as guns, knives, and sticks. Equally important, Krav Maga teaches you to function during the stress and psychological trauma of a sudden/violent encounter. You will also learn how to gain power over your own fight/flight responses so you can choose the correct solution to any situation.

Kore Krav Maga features Israeli trained and certified Instructors with direct Lineage to the founder, Imi Lichtenfeld (Sde-Or).

We invite you to train with the most dynamic, practical, and easily learned self-defense system in Loudoun County. Kore Self-Defense & Krav Maga is committed to providing the most up-to-date self-defense training possible. The instructors continuously research training methodologies & trends in violence to ensure Kore’s curriculum is effective and relevant.

Problems With the Narrative

A couple of weeks ago I received an email from a particularly angry female. I made the mistake of thinking she had emailed me to have a dialogue (which wasn't the case as it turned out).

Wim Demeere's Blog - Podcast episode 42: Interview with Tammy Yard McCracken

It took more time than I would have liked, but here is the interview I did with Tammy Yard-McCracken. She is a psychotherapist, Krav Mage instructor, Violence Dynamics instructor and much, much more. I very much enjoyed talking to her about her approach to teaching self-defense and everything else we got to cover.

Born To Be A Badass - May the odds be ever in HER favor - Interview with Tammy Yard McCracken

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Common myths/beliefs that women have about safety
  • Changing from Krav Maga to principle-based self defense instruction, and why principles-based training is essential & effective
  • The #metoo movement and the new #500Rising movement
  • What women face in South Africa (complete opposite of statistical likelihood of experiencing violence in the US)
  • Must-know strategies women need to have
  • “We’ve been so, so deeply socially programmed for so many centuries [about] what we’re supposed to be versus what we actually ARE – which is [that] we have massive super-powers and whatever it takes to give yourself the opportunity to find out that that’s TRUTH… that’s what you should be doing.”
