MAS-KRAV Program

Krav Maga is one of the most effective fighting systems in the world. Used by police and military personnel worldwide, Krav Maga has proven itself to combine some of the most valuable strategies and techniques into one.

Developed back in the 1950s, Krav Maga was initially taught to the Israeli army and later to everyday folks. The sport takes advantage of our reflexes and natural tendencies to turn us into fighting experts, capable of handling any combat situation.

And the best part? Krav Maga is more than a simple martial art. Practicing it isn’t just about learning self-defense. It’s about changing the way you see combat and physical confrontation. It’s about elevating your mindset, learning how to remain calm, and becoming more physically capable.

1. WEIGHT LOSS

Though many people love to complicate it, weight loss is a relatively simple process. To achieve it, you need to establish and sustain a calorie deficit. In other words, you need to consume fewer calories than you burn each day. In doing so, your body has no choice but to burn fat and lean tissue to get the remaining energy it needs.

One obvious way to be in a deficit is to start eating less food. But, another and often more pleasurable way to achieve the same is to increase your physical activity. That way, you can eat more food, not deprive yourself, and still reach your goals.

2. LEARNING EFFECTIVE SELF-DEFENSE

One benefit of training Krav Maga is that you get to improve your self-defense abilities immensely. This fighting system teaches practitioners how to throw various strikes, grapple, takedown, and submit opponents. You learn how to use every single part of your body in different situations.

All of this is possible because Krav Maga doesn’t focus on a single aspect of fighting. Instead, the art teaches you the most effective elements of various disciplines like boxing, wrestling, Karate, Judo, and more. In a sense, Krav Maga is similar to mixed martial arts (MMA), but it focuses more on self-defense and teaches you how to defuse situations quickly.

3. IMPROVE YOUR CONFIDENCE

Thanks to the profound impact of Krav Maga on your physical abilities, you’re likely going to become more confident in yourself. But, of course, there is a fine line between self-confidence and arrogance, and each trainee should learn to recognize it.

The good news is, Krav Maga instructors are aware of this and always make it a point to teach fighters respect, discipline and to try to disable a situation without physical confrontation.

4. IMPROVE YOUR AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC FITNESS

Your body has two primary ways to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules – the primary energy currency for your cells:

  • Aerobically (with the aid of oxygen)
  • Anaerobically (without oxygen)

Aerobic energy production is typically reserved for less intense but prolonged activities like walking and jogging. In contrast, anaerobic production is essential for short and intense bursts of physical activity like sprinting, lifting weights, and tackling an opponent in training.

Due to its varied and dynamic nature, Krav Maga training is fantastic for improving your aerobic and anaerobic abilities. This means you get better at both short and intense activities and the less intense ones that last longer. 

5. MAS Martial Arts is also great for your social life.

In this current “loneliness crisis” where making friends and connections can be a challenge for even the most social adults, MAS Martial Arts gives you a place to connect with others. Training takes place in an encouraging and friendly atmosphere, where you can be yourself among new people. MAS Martial Arts focuses on individual growth and achievement, which creates a very positive environment. You’ll be sure to meet other students with similar interests and values, as martial arts often brings out the best in people.

6. MENTAL STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE

Krav Maga training is a physical discipline, but it also changes how we perceive challenges and react under pressure. It teaches us that failure is not something to fear but something to welcome and learn from. More than anything, Krav Maga is a fantastic way to see what we are made of and improve. 

In doing so, we become more resilient and better able to handle challenges in our lives. Each day presents us with challenges and problems, and how we choose to react can be the difference between success and failure.

7. SOLVE PROBLEMS IN HIGH-PRESSURE SITUATIONS

The more you expose yourself to problems and force yourself to overcome them, the quicker and better you get at that. Like any other skill, this one can also be applied to many situations and improve your life.

If nothing else, martial arts make us masters of problem-solving. Each fight is a collection of problems we need to recognize and solve if we ever hope to succeed.
