How to Assume the Krav Maga Fighting Stance

From freem


Assuming the Krav Maga fighting stance is an essential aspect of learning this self-defense system. Here are the steps to assume the Krav Maga fighting stance:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your weight evenly distributed on both feet.

2. Step your left foot back, keeping your feet shoulder-width apart, and shift your weight slightly forward onto the balls of your feet.

3. Raise your hands in front of your face, palms facing inward, and your elbows tucked in close to your body. Your hands should be at about chin height.

4. Keep your chin tucked in towards your chest to protect your throat.

5. Keep your eyes focused on your opponent, and remain alert and ready to react quickly.

6. Breathe naturally, and try to stay relaxed, while maintaining an alert and focused state.

7. Be ready to move quickly and evade your opponent's attacks while preparing to deliver your own strikes and counterattacks.

Remember that the Krav Maga fighting stance is a foundational aspect of this self-defense system. Properly assuming this stance will enable you to move quickly and efficiently, defend yourself, and counterattack effectively in a self-defense situation.
