Self-Defence Day learning at the BDJ Passion Series Stand up,Defend! at the Crossfit Manila Philippine Army Gymnasium happend last August 26,2012.

I must say it was an amazing day and one of my favorite passion series this year.as a woman its an advantage that you have to know how to defend yourself in a situation like kidnappings and hold-ups and being part of this passion series is a great opportunity to learn techniques from the experts and the Best of all: it’s completely free! Thanks to BDJ!
We were welcomed by the friendly Instructors Mr. Dindo De Jesus – country Director and Chief Instructor of IKMFP and Ms. Kitin Flores – Assistant Instructor for women and Kids Krav Maga

What is Krav Maga?
Krav Maga is a non-competitive martial art and eclectic self-defense system developed in Israel that involves striking techniques, wrestling and grappling. Krav Maga is known for its focus on real-world situations and extremely efficient, brutal counter-attacks.It was derived from street-fighting skills developed by Hungarian-Israeli martial artist Imi Lichtenfeld, who made use of his training as a boxer and wrestler, as a means of defending the Jewish quarter against fascist groups in Bratislava.in the mid-to-late 1930s. In the late 1940s, following his immigration to Israel, he began to provide lessons on combat training to what was to become the IDF, who went on to develop the system that became known as Krav Maga. It has since been refined for civilian, police and military applications.Krav Maga is used by Israeli Defense Forces
The name in Hebrew means “hand-to-hand combat”. Krav meaning “combat” and Maga meaning “contact”.
International Krav Maga Federation of the Philippines teach us about:
Technique#

First Up! Stretching


After our Instrutors explaining every details and seen their re-enactment,we eventually tried it!
- Self defence againts shoulder bag snatching

- defence againts kidnapping

- defence againts hand gun or knife threat -hold up situation

and now its our turn to try.during this re-enactment,we were guided by the instructors to see if we did it the right way.

I enjoy learning new stuff including Krav maga But mainly, there are so much to learn each day.the most important whether your in the situation or you might encounter pickpockets and thieves,the best advice i can give is Do not argue, but give whatever they want, The rule is: Do what they say, hand it over, and get away.If they want your money or belongings, let them have it.but with krav maga they teach us how to fight back and defend ourselves.
Many Thanks to the Krav Maga Instructors
