Sometimes the best way to learn is by watching: paying attention to how a master of Krav Maga pulls off a move that’s been giving you trouble can improve your training by leaps and bounds. And even if visual edification isn’t your bag, it can still be fun to watch some precise self-defense technique in action.

Here’s a list of the best self-defense videos from Krav Maga Worldwide. Watch and learn, and empower yourself like never before.

1. Get Up Off The Ground!

3. How to Headbutt

A headbutt obviously shouldn’t be your go-to move for combating an assailant, but if you find yourself in a situation where you need to use it, you should know how to do it right. This self-defense video will show you how to pull one off in a way that damages your opponent without doing damage to yourself.

4. Gun From the Front With a Push

8. Back Kick
