Scenario

A choke has three purposes:

* Prevent blood flow to the brain
* Restrict the victim’s ability to breathe

In this situation, the attacker is doing all of the above while facing and pushing the victim.

About Krav Maga ReaX

REQUIREMENT: P2 OR HIGHER
Krav Maga requires physical, technical and cognitive skills. You have to scan the area, understand what is happening, and make split second decisions as your body moves. Practicing Krav Maga also enhances ones fitness and coordination. The IKMF ReaX Program incorporates the cognitive component for the first time. Using a unique approach and state of the art technology (Nike Vapor Strobe), this program trains your body and brain at the same time. The combination of the tool and training methods enables you a complete experience. The tool we use, the Nike Vapor Strobe, allows to block visual information by creating a flicker effect at different levels of difficulty. This effect trains the brain to anticipate the movement of the ball or an opponent in the short durations that your vision is blocked. Whether you are interested in IKMF’s Krav Maga Tactical Fitness course (Krav Maga without contact), or Krav Maga for self-defense course, improving cognitive capabilities could be of benefit to you. This new and unique training program was developed in collaboration with Dr. Erez Morag. Dr. Morag has been developing training technologies for the past 20 years and led the cognitive training division in Nike.
