Krav Maga and Self Defense Blog/Interviews/Trained To Fight Episode #50: Interview with Dr. Guy Mor

In this episode of the Trained to Fight podcast, I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Guy Mor, an expert in Krav Maga, to dive deep into the origins, principles, and teaching methods of this renowned self-defense system. Krav Maga, developed in Israel, has been the go-to for practical, no-nonsense self-defense since the late 1950s. Dr. Mor shared insights into the history of Krav Maga, emphasizing that while there are countless techniques, the core of Krav Maga lies in its aggression, quick reactions, and adaptability. We discussed the importance of being constantly aware of your surroundings and how Krav Maga equips you to handle real-world threats effectively.

​One key takeaway from our conversation was Dr. Mor’s belief in teaching Krav Maga in a straightforward, accessible manner. He argues that effective self-defense shouldn’t require endless memorization but should focus on intuitive, easy-to-understand principles that anyone can apply under pressure. Whether you’re new to Krav Maga or a seasoned practitioner, this episode offers valuable insights into why this system is so effective and how it continues to evolve.
