Street Safe
Filed Under self defense, street smart | Leave a Comment
My husband likes ninjas. He likes to shout “Krav Maga!” and pretend to hit things. It’s all a show. The only actual hand-to-hand combat training he’s had is the same training I’ve had. About three hours of instruction at basic training (I got to flip someone!). But its still fun to play like he’s a ninja. And he’s teaching our son these “moves”.
So we got this video from AAA-Safety First, a website that sells self defense products. The cover is a little deceiving. I thought it was going to be instructions on how to be street smart - like, “don’t talk to strangers.” I didn’t really know what to expect. It’s actually pretty cool.
The instructor, Steve Vunak, goes through eight simple moves to get you out of almost any dangerous situation. These moves are so simple that size, strength and training become non-issues. As a smallish (well, not skinny, but short) female, I feel like I could execute all of the moves to keep myself safe, regardless of my attacker’s size.
First he goes through the moves one by one, showing how to practice them in a mirror, with training equipment, and then with an actual training partner. After going through all the moves, he shows different combinations of the moves. Then, he shows real world situations where he uses those combinations. (I’m not going to spoil it by telling you the moves. You’ll have to get the video if you want to learn them :))
The video was made in the 1990s, so the clothes the people are wearing are a little dated, but the information is timeless.
Plus, the instructor does all these crazy hand movements while he’s talking that I really like. He kept my attention. I thought he was a little silly, but everything he’s teaching makes perfect sense and seems easy enough to do. You can bet I’ll be practicing my moves in front of the mirror. Who knows? Maybe I’ll move up to training on my husband. Krav Maga!
