This Saturday, our training center is conducting a gun defense seminar. We will be defending against gun attacks from all directions, hostage scenarios, gun on the ground and third party defenses. Defenses against weapon attacks are what I like most about Krav Maga.
I have studied several martial arts: Judo, Shotokan Karate, Goshi Shun Karate, an eclectic style called TA MA (Total Approach Martial Arts) and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. With the exception of TA MA, none of the other martial arts dealt with modern-day weapon attacks or violent street attacks. And TA MA dealt with them only once a week.
In the Krav Maga Worldwide curriculum, gun defense is not officially introduced until Level 4 (Blue Belt). So to be able to attend a four-hour block of concentrated study on gun defenses is a great opportunity for every level, but particularly for the lower levels. I hope that other members of our training center feel the same way and attend en masse.
