Personal Defense Psychology

Why psychology?
Today, it is of strategic importance to know some psychological approaches and therefore some theories and applications relating to sport in general and to the practice of Krav-Maga in particular. Psychology, as a science of the soul, but above all as a behavioral science,  is a key to some problems and situations that may be needed during the "peculiar" teaching of a discipline such as KRAV-MAGA.Mind and body should work in harmony especially when exercising an important and delicate job such as an instructor or trainer. Usually a well-trained body can "do much" but, "where the lion does not come ... comes the fox"!
In this perspective, we think that for a good instructor, it is essential, a psychological training. Psychological training means acquiring a some knowledge and mentalizing a range of skills that can be exercised during teaching activities but also during practice. Concepts such as personality, attitudes, temperament, personal dispositions, effectiveness, mantaining control ... always intervene in every human dynamics. Psychology serves to enrich, therefore, the personal and professional human baggage of all of us.
For this purpose, IKMI organizes in the Regions through its own representatives, monothematic courses on psychology as a useful instructor training tool. These courses are exclusively reserved for Ikmi instructors and instructors.
