Pandemics can induce or highlight conflicts in our communities. Some of these can lead to violence. Be safe. https://www.tkma.ca/pandemics-and-potential-violence/ #LCBOstabbing #danforth #socialdistancing #mask #TorontoShooting #chicagostabbing #TKMA #T3 #kravmaga

Sadly, inspired by selfishness, stupidity, or conspiracy theories, these kinds of incidents are more frequent. "Please wear a mask" are now fighting words for the feeble-minded. https://youtu.be/O-RqSqGHYnU

I strongly recommend training with Megan on Instagram. Her workouts are challenging and very effective. Try it! #kravit #t3

An excellent course offered by a world-class expert. Highly recommended!

In our most recent video post, we referred to the importance of training from different states of readiness.

It is important to train from various states of readiness. You might be ready when an assault happens (avoidance is best) but you might be surprised. Develop the ability to defend from all states of readiness. https://youtu.be/VlPDgxkLivE #getready #oopsthereitis #Suddenly #olivianewtonjohn #cliffrichard #TKMA #t3 #kravmaga #TorontoShooting

In our most recent video, we demonstrated a jab, cross, knee combination. This, of course, might not be enough. We need to be in our position where even if we are practicing a particular sequence (e.g. jab, cross, knee) we should be in a position to continue to strike. You might not be able to escape or the attacker is tough! So, here is an option - following the jab, cross, knee, with straight punches and hooks.... https://youtu.be/hShUyBePBc8 #stepbystep #TKMA #kravmagatoronto #selfdefensetraining #T3 #kravmagaclasses #kravit #eglintonpark
