"A question that comes up regularly from our students: Is Krav Maga effective in real life, would I be able to defend myself?
---
The body and mind react differently for each of us in situations of intense stress, depending on whether he or she has been confronted with the same type of situation before, having acquired some experience in dealing with it, in real life or through training.
For example, a nurse who has been working for 10 years in an emergency department will have a totally different reaction to a serious injury than a bus driver. Indeed, this situation of intense stress will surely be much better managed by the body and mind of the nurse, because of her experience, and the number of times she has been, during her career, confronted to this type of situation, she will surely be the most efficient to manage such a situation. On the contrary, the bus driver will probably be more efficient in a stressful situation related to his job and will probably know how to handle an intense stressful situation such as a pedestrian crossing the street unexpectedly more serenely than the nurse would.
The worst thing about any extreme stress situation would be to have no experience of it, and to remain inert, unresponsive, as if stuck, with a shocked body and mind not knowing how to deal with the problem and how to function effectively in this new situation.
The same principle of stress management will apply to a Krav Maga practitioner after a solid experience with violent situations; the more he or she is confronted with them, the better the stress generated by these situations will be managed, and the more effective he or she will be able to defend him or herself.
