Krav Maga instructor, Lewis Groves joins me to get into what Krav Maga really is, where it comes from, and how it’s different from traditional martial arts or rule-bound sports. We talk about training for the street rather than the ring, the value of simplicity under pressure, and why so many martial arts end up in fantasyland. We also cover ego, humility, gender differences, strength vs. skill, and why most guys think they can fight — when they really can’t.
If you’ve ever wondered what martial art is “best,” how to train smart not macho, or why being punched in the face might be the wake-up call you need — this one’s for you.
