Self-Defense on Public Transport: Psychology and Tactics

On Saturday, 21 September 2024, starting at 10:00, a self-defense seminar titled “Self-Defense on Public Transport: Psychology and Tactics” will take place. The training will be led by Tamir Gilad, one of the world’s most renowned and sought-after Krav Maga experts.

A krav maga seminar is an opportunity to learn and apply techniques in a new environment, different from the training hall. It is a step closer to reality through location, atmosphere, and participants.

This type of scenario, involving threats and dangers on public transport, is extremely realistic and complex to address, for several reasons:

• Vulnerability in enclosed spaces: Public transport represents enclosed spaces, often crowded, where it is difficult to avoid or flee from a potential aggressor. We will learn how to manage these high-risk situations.
• Unpredictability of aggressors: On public transport, we may encounter a variety of potential aggressors — from pickpockets to violent or mentally unstable individuals. Psychological and deception techniques are essential for defusing dangerous situations before they escalate.
• Physical limitations: The confined space of buses, subways, or trams limits traditional defensive movements. Techniques adapted to these specific constraints will be presented.
• Presence of witnesses: Reacting in front of other passengers can be complicated. The training will cover strategies for seeking help and managing the situation without endangering other people.

This training is part of a self-defense-packed weekend, within a 2-day seminar held to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our krav maga gym, KMTM. The combination of three training sessions over two days will provide you with comprehensive preparation for handling diverse and potentially lethal situations.

Participation is open to everyone, regardless of prior experience and physical fitness level!
