Perpetrators (domestic or stranger) often perceive women as "easy pray". Krav Maga training supports women's combat propensity and empowers them to respond to threats, dangerous situations and attacks. A perpetrator who mounts an assault on a Krav Maga women practitioner or her family is likely to be overwhelmed by her response.

 

Unfortunately, with much of the violence in the world aimed at women of all ages (rape, robbery, physical abuse, etc.), it has become imperative for them to know how to size a potential threat and react to protect themselves. For this reason the TKM organization has set up specific workshops geared towards girls and women.

Topics:

General training including safety measures and precautions to prevent and address the risks of violence.
