Krav Maga: More Than a Survivor!




You Need to Learn More Than Techniques!


In the thick of a real conflict, techniques break down quickly. As a matter of fact, they are typically the first to go. We lose fine motor movement... 

We forget... We f-up...

Techniques tend to be reactionary. So, then why is everyone looking to learn the next 'Trick' to solve the problem? 

Because learning & teaching techniques is EASY!

...AND it makes us feel like we have accomplished something. But that's a load of BS! And it can get you and the people you're protecting hurt or worse. 

Learning technique can be a first step, but...

If you're only thinking about techniques, you're thinking too small! 

...And you're going to pay for it!


You have to think bigger!


WAY BIGGER!

Novices are thinking all technique...

Folks who are the Real Professionals have developed a Lifestyle.

They Train Their...

Bodies like Soldiers
Minds Like Generals
Mouths Like Diplomats
Hearts Like Protectors



That's one of the main things I learned the first time I went to Israel...

From the old grandma on the bus to the young hard chargers in the IDF. 

It's that Krav is a LIFESTYLE...

Being a Protector is a LIFESTYLE...

Being a PeaceWalker is a Life you LIVE, not a box you check off!

You see, it's difficult to be peaceful in a violent community (local or otherwise).  So how can we make a bigger difference?

Conflict comes in many forms and it typically escalates. The newb waits for shit to hit the fan and then wants to learn the 'technique' to deal with the situation. Nothing wrong with learning new techniques. You should learn and be good at a lot of 'em, but if you want to be safer, more effective, don't stop at technique! Learn the right mindset, ethic, objective, strategies, tactics and also techniques. It never hurts to have the right tools too! (Like some pepper spray, a good knife a Glock or Colt...). But, don't confuse techniques or tools as having all of the answers.


We Can Learn a Lot From Israel


We can learn a lot from the folks in Israel regarding how and why developing a Protector's Lifestyle is so important!

Here's one way can we contribute to helping others be safe?

Yes, we should have the skills to step in and help out when someone needs us, but what's even more powerful is help mentor others to be protectors themselves! That's how Israel does it!

As Moshe Katz of Israeli Krav International says in his book,  "Israel is a Nation of Warriors!" We used to be too here in the U.S. and we can be again, but we need each other...

Not to bitch, condemn and fight among ourselves...

We need People like YOU to Lead By Example.

Folks who are clear about what they are protecting. People who have the skills and courage to do the right thing especially when it's not popular. People who can meet those who don't 'get it' where they're at and set the example of what being a Protector is! And why it's so important!

That's why we need YOU!

That's why I began reaching out to my global Krav Maga Community... YOU! Because you 'get it'!

Now we just have to help you with the details. Help you to round out your training to encompass more than some 'self defense' moves. Then help you to share this perspective in a way that others get on board w/it too. Rather than just learning techniques.

We have to help people develop Protector's Lifestyles. 

To become PeaceWalkers!



Keep Going,
~Craig

Are people from Crete Creteans??

Here I am in Crete. It is a pretty cool island. It is a bit more difficult getting around, but far from impossible. Most people speak at least a little english and I have gotten very good at asking (in Greek) if they speak english. I walked around about 15 miles today. Into town, around town, to all (and I do mean all) of their museums, archelogical sights, some cafe's and town squares. I really didn't even get lost today. Wow, I must be making some progress. I met a couple English people (yes, people from England silly) we hung out until about 1am or so and talked about politics, troubled youth, the difference between the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service (don't ask, if I told you I'd have to kill you:), body guards, ccw laws etc. It was kinda of funny, most of the museums that I went to today were under construction and had only one exhibit open. Geeze, you'd think that they would have at least discounted their entry price, but noooooooo! Oh well. I at least had a real

What's Your Rosebud?

  One of my favorite classic movies is: "Citizen Kane" It starred Orson Welles. [NOTE: spoiler ahead - if you haven't seen it] And, was about the life and legacy of a powerful newspaper publisher, based partly on the late William Randolph Hearst. The movie starts with Charles Foster Kane dying, with his last word being "Rosebud" — and the entire movie is this sort of question of what "Rosebud" is. Turns out it was simply the trade name of a cheap little sled on which Kane was playing on the day he was taken away from his home and his mother as a child. Welles revealed in an interview: "In his subconscious it represented the simplicity, the comfort, above all the lack of responsibility in his home, and also it stood for his mother's love which Kane never lost." The point? We All Have Our Rosebud That thing, moment, or whatever it is that anchors, drives, guides, or inspires you.  For example, the late Johnny Carson and the book of magic tr

You'll Never Guess What This Parrot Said!

Image
  The Parrot Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly Mother. . The first said,  "I built a big house for our Mother." . The second said, " I sent her a Mercedes with a driver." . The third smiled and said,  "I've got you, both beat. You know how Mom enjoys the Bible, and you know she can't see very well. I sent her a parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took 20 monks in a Monastery 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $5,000 a year for 10 years, but it was worth it. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot will recite it." . Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks: "Dearest First Son,"  she wrote the first son,  "the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but have to clean the whole house." . " Dearest Second Son,"  she wrote to another,  "I am t
