Examples of Stress Training
This book delivers a significant amount of information about the techniques and
principles of Krav Maga but, by its nature, the book cannot simulate Krav Maga
training. Real training involves creative stress drills and applying the techniques
and principles under various types of pressure. From our perspective, no
technique or response is really learned until it’s tested in dynamic situations.
We strongly recommend that you perform stress drills under the supervision of a
trained instructor. Krav Maga instructors certified by Krav Maga Worldwide and
the Krav Maga Association of America go through an intense training program
that includes lectures and discussions on physiology and sports kinesiology. In
addition, they attend lectures specifically on safety in training and creating
training drills so that the drills they offer are both productive and safe.
Ultimately, all the training you do is at your own risk; however, participating in
training drills under the supervision of a certified instructor will give you the
highest measures of both safety and intensity.
