Episode 30 - Amit Maranganti, Owner, Krav Maga Cleveland

 "Everything is decision making." This statement by Mr. Maranganti reflects the tactical approach he takes to self defense and how lessons in his studio are framed. In this episode, learn how Krav Maga (derived from the Hebrew words meaning "contact-combat") evolved from a military self-defense and fighting system to a way for civilians to engage with adversaries. These techniques were originally developed for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israeli security forces. The moves involve a combination of techniques sourced from boxing, wrestling, Aikido, judo and karate, along with realistic fight training. Krav Maga is known for its focus on real-world situations and its extreme efficiency.  

Listen to Mr. Maraganti as he stresses the  importance of deciding in the moment, based on many factors, whether to engage in a fight. He offers other strategies based on a person's size and physical ability. "Context changes your response," he explains.
