Moms are machines perfectly designed to be awesome at martial arts. And like most things, they are better at it than you.
5 Reasons Why Moms are Naturals at Krav Maga
- Martial arts training teaches you to become more aware of your surroundings. Find the danger risk before it finds you. Do you know of anyone better at being aware of their surroundings than a mother? I don't. Moms have eyes all over the place. On their face, on the back of their head. Amazing.
- Martial Arts teaches you to "use what you have". When the time comes, you probably won't have the ideal situation or tools to defend yourself. Moms practice this premise on the daily. They dress their kids with what's clean, fix the zipper on the way out the door, and nourish you better than a restaurant with just what's available in the fridge.
- Defend and attack with minimal time and movement. In self defense training we learn the most direct way to defend and attack, often doing both at the same time. No wasted movement. Moms invented this. They had to. Moms are Generals and Platoon Sergeants all rolled into one. They make strategic decisions and they execute tactics. And they do it in seconds. Usually while everyone else is standing around just scratching themselves.
- Moms don't cause (real) trouble. I'm serious. Statistically, if you are a mother you are one of the least likely segments of our population to cause a violent crime. But on the defensive, moms become lions. We learn self defense to defend ourselves. But when we defend and counterattack, we train to unleash Hell. Threaten a mom's family, and you'll look Hell in the eye.
- Our martial arts training partners are incredibly encouraging. I have found so many willing to help me get better. It may be the most important reason why I've stayed with it, and always will long after I test for my black belt. That's what a mom can do. Encourage you to keep going, and make you believe you can do whatever you set your mind to. With mom in our corner, we have everything.
