I Was Abused While Training Self Defense...why?
For 4 years, I trained in a self defense system called Krav Maga. I became an instructor, traveled nationally and abroad to Israel to train. I helped open a school and taught new students and led women's self defense courses.
.
All this happened while I was being abused.
.
Why? What was missed? How was I able to spar with opponents twice my size regular but wilt in front of my abuser?
.
Today we welcome Sarah- Marie, founder of MAPS Project Defense, an organization dedicated to teaching survivors. We discuss the ways mainstream self defense does not prepare survivors and what survivor tailored self defense looks like.
