California Defense Academy

In a carjacking scenario, your vehicle becomes both an asset and a potential weapon.

When faced with this threat, remember that the key is to prioritize your life over your belongings. If an attacker demands your car, comply if that’s the safest option. But if the threat escalates, Krav Maga teaches us to use every tool at our disposal.

The goal is not just to defend but to incapacitate and create an opportunity for escape.

Stay aware, stay focused, and remember: survival is your primary objective.

🛡️💥 Wondering if Krav Maga can really make you safer? The answer is YES! Dive into our latest blog to explore how Krav Maga's practical techniques, situational awareness, and stress training prepare you to handle real-world threats effectively. Become your own protector—learn more about the powerful benefits of Krav Maga training. 💪🚨​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Read the full insight here: ➡️ cadefenseacademy.com
