Everyone is more or less at risk of experiencing violence during their life. This is especially true for minorities, and as leftists in today’s political climate. The risk of violence will undoubtedly increase as political climates change, so we must be ready to defend ourselves, our comrades, our family and friends, and our communities.

I practise Krav Maga (I know) and have a limited background in wrestling, Karate, and Judo. It would be great to hear everyone’s thoughts on strategies and tactics for self-defence so we can help each other become more prepared to face violent situations.

If there’s enough interest in the topic I think it would be a good idea to start a community for self-defence.

    Krav Maga

    If a martial art works better than others, there’s no reason to disregard it, regardless of its roots. As scientific socialists, real-world applicability and usefulness should be our measuring stick. Ultras would deny newton’s laws because they were discovered in capitalist England if they could.

      I also recommend Krav Maga, but giving the heads up that anyone willing to practice it with a professor will probably meet a Zionist, or rather, several. Usually the professors themselves are Zionists

        I practice Systema and both of the teachers that train me also practice Kappap (Krav Maga for civilians), and the person who taught them is a Zionist settler in occupied Palestine. He moved to some Easter European country, though, since several people where killed in front of him one time so he decided to move.
