What's goin' on here, friends? Cheers to episode 7, and to stick with the theme of last week's episode, we're sharing our own expertise as guests on our own show! Today we’re talking all things self-defense with Griffin Coombs... Griffin is a self-defense teacher, researcher, and practitioner. A lifelong martial artist, he took the official plunge into the world of self-defense and personal safety in 2011 when he began his training in Israeli Krav Maga. Alongside 7 years of week-in, week-out training, Griffin spent that time teaching self-defense, both as a personal contractor and as an affiliate of the pre-eminent Krav Maga training center of the Northeastern United States. Now in Tangier, Morocco, his research, teaching, and training continue in their most eclectic form to date. In this conversation, you’ll hear him addressing the differences between martial arts and self-defense, and how to effectively balance your training. We also get into the fundamentals of situational awareness, we discuss the glorification of violence in self-defense training, and lots more.
