Sadly and unfortunately, reality consistently shows us that real world violence isn't martial arts or sport fighting friendly. They are vastly different animals most in the martial arts/self protection world simply cannot or refuse to differentiate.

Over 90% of knife related homicides worldwide come in the form of an ambush, a surprise attack most often committed from behind, or while the victim is asleep or unconscious, or caught completely unaware and never saw the weapon. Roughly 90% of the time, the victim knew their attackers. This makes 99% of commercial self protection and knife defense courses obsolete.

😞 39 year old undefeated fighter Abu Yusupov was unfortunately fatally stabbed from behind in the neck in Berlin, Germany while intervening in an argument gone physical and knocking out 2 of the 3 assailants.

The vast majority of predatorial violence and abuse worldwide ca NOT be defended against physically, but it CAN be PREVENTED.

Just wrapped up a 3-hour workshop on violence prevention and self-defense for an amazing group of women, preparing for a backpacking adventure in Central America! 🌍💪

Spent most of the session diving deep into the psychology of violence, principles of defense, different types of awareness, with the last part dedicated to practical self-defense.🤓

A year ago it would have been 90% physical. Today the focused have changed towards avoidance and awareness.🙌🏻

If you’re interested in diving deeper, then go check @safeinternational , @rich.dimitri and @pamela.armitage.sv out. Their teachings are invaluable!☝🏻👐🏻

Last year I reached out to Chris Roberts from SAFE International to learn more about his approach to self-defense and teaching methods. We had a great talk and a short time later I signed up for his program to become a certified instructor.

I have been in the self-defense industry for years and I have always looked for effective ways to teach self-defense. I can confidently say this program has had the most significant impact on my professional outlook.

Before, my approach to self-defense focused mainly on techniques and physical responses. While those still remain important, during my talks with Chris, my perspective changed. Conflict resolution, de-escalation, different types of awareness and mental preparedness are core components of self-defense. Those are the skills we really need to work on.

Getting certified has helped me go beyond technique and equip my students with the mindset and emotional tools they need to handle high-stress situations, whether they escalate physically or not. True understanding of self-defense, that isn’t just about the physical skills, but awareness, mental preparedness, and emotional control.

It has been just as impactful on a personal level. I find myself approaching everyday conflicts with a more calm and rational mindset than before. Where I might have been quick to react, I now focus on de-escalating, finding common ground, and remaining in control.

For anyone looking to deepen their understanding of self-defense, I can’t recommend Chris and SAFE International enough!

At the beginning of the summer, I had the privilege of training at @cph_km to receive an additional certification in defense against weapons. It was an intense experience reviewing techniques, drilling, assessing practical applications, and discussing the reality of violence in the world today. I was honored to meet other instructors trained under @kravmagadanmark and to share the mat with some new training partners at Copenhagen Krav Maga.

I’m especially grateful to have such an incredible mentor and friend in @markus_andersson_ . Every time we get to connect and discuss self defense, I know it will be a great benefit to our students. I cannot thank you enough for the guidance and support you’ve offered in my journey teaching and training self defense. It’s awesome to know I have such an incredible teammate in combating violence. Very excited for more. 💪 #kravmaga #selfdefense #copenhagen #nyc #learntofight #sothatonemaywalkinpeace #strongereveryday #realfriendspuncheachother #safety #girlswhofight by @markus_andersson_

“Everybody has a plan until they get hit in the head.”

My plan was to not go berserker. I was training for technical fights. Setup, power, exit. Seatbelt and so on… That lasted until I got hit so hard over the ear, that it started ringing.🤦🏼‍♂️😂

Thank you @dog_brothers_europe for accepting me into the Tribe as a full Dog Brother! You have no idea how much it means for me!🙏🏻

You are all amazing fighters and human beings! I have never met a group that fights that hard, and at the same time still are able to take care of the opponent. Everybody has an incredible amount of control and respect. That is true Martial Arts spirit!🥋

Thank you @lonelydog_dbma for creating this atmosphere! You are an inspiration for all of us. We are very fortunate to have you as the guiding force in Europe. Your fighting, teaching and human skills are one of a kind.👐🏻

Thank you to my training partners in Denmark, and @dog_brothers_new_york , for helping me prepare for the Gathering.⚔️🙏🏻

Lastly, thank you my love. Your support means everything to me!❤️
