Many of the most welcome questions from Krav Maga students begin with "What if..?"
What if they don't let go of my wrist?
What if I am sitting down instead of standing?
What if I am in a small space and can't escape right away?
What if there are two of them?
These questions show that students recognize that self-defense situations are dynamic, and to a large extent, unpredictable. After all, there can be so many variables at play.
- where the assault take place (elevator, parking lot, private vs public space)
- When you perceive the danger (avoid, escape, fight)
- How the assailant attacks and perhaps adapt to your Defense/counterattack
This list could go on and on because there are so many possibilities to mention!
The IKMF curriculum offer an excellent foundation that covers many of the assaults people encounter. As we outlined in another blog, it is only the tip of the iceberg as there are so many variations of attacks and so many potential situations.
With this in mind, we encourage students to work on the fundamentals, refine the curriculum techniques on the curriculum and to ask "What if?"
