Safety has become a big concern of mine and I’ve been looking for ways of making my home and lifestyle safer. One thing I was possibly considering is taking defense classes. I’ve seen online viedos and thought that krav magna was probably the most realistic art for actual defense on the street. However, I don’t know if its the right thing for me.
I am defineitley out of shape (overweight) and I’m working on losing the weight now with exercise and dieting. I also have chronicly dislocating knee caps that can dislocate at any time. I have braces, but rarely wear them. Because of my fitness level (which I am working on), and my predisposition to knee problems, is krav magna something I should even consider taking? If not, what should I do to help keep myself safe on the streets.
Looking forward to your replies. Thanks.
Re: Is Krav Magna An Option For Me?
I think Krav would be a great option for you. Not only is it great for self defense it is outstanding for fitness/conditioning. Since I started Krav I have personally lost over 30 pounds through Conditioning classes and Krav classes.
Re: Is Krav Magna An Option For Me?
This would probably be your best option given your knees and fitness. It’s an awesome workout(coming from a guy that loves working out more than sleeping and loves punishment) and its not that hard on your joints. I have bad kneess as well and i’ve experienced no real pain from it. Of course, the best way to find out is to try 🙂
